List of L4D Instructor Messages
This is a list of instructor lessons that you can make appear by entering their name in the event_name field of an info_game_event_proxy.
Entries engraved in bold are confirmed to work and can be called with info_game_event_proxy-s.
Note:If you want to test any of these out, make sure you first open your save/game_instructor_counts.txt file and delete the contents, or load up the game and enter gameinstructor_reset_counts in the console.Note:In order to make any of these appear, you must enable the Fire Event When First Seen flag of the info_game_event_proxy.Note:This is not a full list of events. I've only picked the ones that can be useful in your custom maps/campaigns. Anything not mentioned here will probably automatically appear at the proper time anyway, and/or will not work when called by an info_game_event_proxy.Contents

Todo: Verify if all of these work
Please try to call any of these using an info_game_event_proxy. Make sure you reset the game instructor counts and have setup the info_game_event_proxy properly before you decide wether it works or not. If it works, please highlight the name of the lesson in question with bold. If it doesn't work, make sure you did everything right. If you are absolutely 100% certain that it does not work then remove the lesson in question from the list.
