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

Icon-Important.pngImportant:This is a preserved entity.
  • 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

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