player is an entity available in Left 4 Dead series. Human players of any team are this entity.

Note:Bot zombies' player entity exists for 7 seconds after they die while a survivor bot's player entity remains forever (or until human player takes their places)

Note:Survivor bots, SI and Tank's classname in-game is also player.

Warning:This entity is not intended to be placed in a map manually. Doing so will result in an instant fatal error on map load!

Important:This is a preserved entity.
If the game has round restart mechanics this entity may not behave as expected:

More info

On a new round entities with this classname will intentionally not reset. You can use logic_auto to emulate resetting it. Killing it removes it forever, as it is not respawned on a new round. It cannot be spawned with a point_template. Parenting this with non-preserved entities may have undesirable effects.
