{{l4d2 point|info_zombie_border}} 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.
{{l4d2 point|info_zombie_border}} Any infected, aside from currently Player Controlled ones, will not be allowed to spawn or be discarded so long they are behind this entity. Line of sight is not a necessary concern for this entity, but only if an infected's origin would be located behind this entity.


It might be better to just use [[func_nav_blocker]] to block the only way to a preceding undesired path out entirely, then so infected won't spawn in said area. Usage of entities that can apply navigation mesh attributes, like [[func_nav_attribute_region]], specifically ones capable of manipulate infected spawning can be also very helpful (like<code>OBSCURED</code>or<code>NO_MOBS</code>attributes).
Before using this, it might be wise to consult if [[func_nav_blocker]] to block out the only way to a preceding undesired path out entirely, or applying attributes capable of infected spawning manipulation (like<code>OBSCURED</code>or<code>NO_MOBS</code>attributes) with [[func_nav_attribute_region]], is what you need.
