It might be better to just use [[func_nav_blocker]] to block the only way to a preceding path out entirely so infected won't spawn or use the proper navigation mesh attributes from [[func_nav_attribute_region]] to manipulate infected spawning (like<code>OBSCURED</code>or<code>NO_MOBS</code>attributes,).

This entity is obsolete. Its use is discouraged. It may only exist/function in older engine branches.

Template:L4d2 point Unknown what this entity does, but the official FGD vaguely describes that "No zombies will spawn behind this entity.". Attempting to put multiple entities of this, with all of their backs facing all 4 directions, appears that the infected will still use normal spawning behavior.

It might be better to just use func_nav_blocker to block the only way to a preceding path out entirely so infected won't spawn or use the proper navigation mesh attributes from func_nav_attribute_region to manipulate infected spawning (likeOBSCUREDorNO_MOBSattributes,).
