Info survivor position

Class hierarchy
CSurvivorPosition ↳CBaseEntity

Template:Entity It defines a point where specific survivors can be moved to and locked/unlocked in place by the info_director through the info_directors input/outputs.
It is useful for creating introduction sequences that make use of cameras, as it allows you to guarantee where a survivor will not only be standing, but also allows you pick any animation to play, and to use point_viewcontrol_survivor so that it can zoom in on a particular suvivors head, regardless of the difference in height for each survivor. This is important for creating professional looking cutscenes. Such as map intro and outro sequences. Template:ModernWarning

Important:For ForceSurvivorPosition input to have an effect player entities must exist which might not be the case when outputs like OnMapSpawn, OnCoop etc. are fired. Using OnGameplayStart output of info_director is reliable for this in the first loaded map in the given session, but on level transition or when using changelevel command OnGameplayStart fires before player entities exist.
