player is an entity available in Team Fortress 2. The player itself or a bot. NPCs are not players. This entity still exists even if the player is dead.

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.

Limitations/Bugs

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

Inputs

SetHealth <integerRedirectInput/integer>

Sets the player's health. Values clamped between 0 and max_health (the latter being normally set up for each individual class in scripts/playerclasses).

HandleMapEvent <stringRedirectInput/string>

Tells the game to perform a function, such as unlock an achievement. Hardcoded for specific map names.

SetHUDVisibility <booleanRedirectInput/boolean>

Note:The menu can still be accessed, and some HUD elements such as kill-icons may still be visible.

Warning:Will disable any weapon-switching of the target

SetFogController <stringRedirectInput/string>

Sets the env_fog_controller to use.

SpeakResponseConcept <stringRedirectInput/string>

Speak the specified response concept immediately. This is what's used to make players scream when falling into pits (using HalloweenLongFall response). Additional context can be passed using space-delimited key:value pairs. Example: TLK_MVM_TANK_CALLOUT IsMvMDefender:1 randomnum:100. For a list of response rules, see the txt files in scripts/talker/ located in tf2_misc VPK.
