info_survivor_position

Template:L4d point
Template:L4d2 point

Entity description

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 to use point_viewcontrol_survivor so that it can zoom in on a perticular suvivors head, regardless of the difference in height for each survivor. This is important for creating professional looking introduction sequences for the first map of your campaign.

Bug:Do not use logic_auto's onmapspawn input to trigger the info_director to force survivors to their info_survivor_position. The info_director will ignore the input depending on how the map is loaded. Instead, it is much more reliable to simply have the info_director call itself, triggering its own forcesurvivorposition and releasesurvivor position using the info_directors ongamestart input.  [todo tested in ?]
