trigger_auto_crouch is a brush entity available in all Source games since Left 4 Dead. 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.

Risk of Confusion:This does NOT force crouch. 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.

Note:This entity simply sets or unsets m_isAutoCrouchEnabled property on players.

Note:Non-functional in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Black Mesa.
