This entity is not in the FGD by default.
It should not be put directly in a map because it is automatically generated by VBSP from func_ladder entities.

info_ladder is an entity available in Left 4 Dead seriesLeft 4 Dead series Left 4 Dead series and Insurgency Insurgency.

Based on VBSP source code, info_ladder is used to help bots navigate the ladders created from func_ladder entities (which are collapsed to worldspawn by VBSP), but is not found in any SDKs nor leaked code.

AltNames.pngAltNames: This entity is also tied to func_simpleladder. In Left 4 Dead seriesLeft 4 Dead series func_ladder is converted into func_simpleladder filled with information about team and what direction the ladder is facing and the brush isn't moved to world.
Warning.pngWarning:In games where info_ladder doesn't exist and func_ladder is being converted into this then warning in console "Attempted to create unknown entity type info_ladder!\n" will be shown when running the map so it's better to instead use func_detail with material that has %CompileLadder unless the specific game has established different way of creating ladders.
Icon-silk-question.png Question: Was this entity at any point present in other Valve games than Left 4 Dead series
