Bug:This entity causes Survivor bots to disappear.
Bug:This entity will cause the game to crash. The "Last Stand" update added a lot of Common Infected variations for the
Left 4 Dead maps. These additional models were enough to be too many models drawn at once.
Adding closed areaportals or occluders in an attempt to draw fewer models will not help, because the crashes stem from all of the models being loaded into memory at once.

info_infected_zoo_maker
is a point entity available in Left 4 Dead 2. It was used during game development to spawn several rows of info_infected_zoo_puppet entities, until every single possible variation of CI model has been listed on the map, to test the texture and gibbing system.



Adding closed areaportals or occluders in an attempt to draw fewer models will not help, because the crashes stem from all of the models being loaded into memory at once.
As a workaround to this crash, you may spawn specific infected via info_zombie_spawn while the cvar nb_stop 1
is set, to spawn CI in T-pose. A map to do this same thing exists and can be found on the workshop. Alternatively, you may use the cvar "z_forcezombiemodel Infected name"
to force all infected spawned via z_spawn
to use the zombie you want, while also using nb_stop 1
to spawn them in T-pose. Use keybinds to make this easier.
