trigger_auto_crouch is an e2 available in all Source games since Left 4 Dead. It is also avaible in Black Mesa. If a player is touching this trigger's brush and is near a place where they can crouch under an obstacle this trigger will make the player crouch automatically.

Bug:Non-functional in ^[confirm]  [todo tested in ?]

Note:If you want a trigger to force crouching no matter what, use trigger_playermovement using the "Auto-duck while in trigger" and the "Disable auto player movement" flags.

Bug:In Left 4 Dead series if a player is incapacitated in this trigger while the round restarts the auto crouch behavior will remain until they touch and leave an auto crouch trigger again  [todo tested in ?]
