info_map_parameters_versus is a point entity available in  Left 4 Dead series. It defines L4D-specific map parameters for versus games. For default coop use info_map_parameters

Note:This is a preserved entity in .

• On a new round, its properties including its position 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.

This entity determines the density of all item spawns and weapons spawned with weapon_spawn. It does not work on specific weapon spawnpoints such as weapon_rifle_spawn. If you want to control spawnpoints for specific guns, use weapon_spawn and force it to only spawn a specific gun.

Inputs

UpdateCvars

Stuff values from this entity into cvars for tweaking

Important:Use this input only for tweaking and not while running the map. It sets the director_scavenge_item_override cvar to 1 and it's not reset to default value in next map. Which means map that uses this may break item spawning in next chapter or even in different campaigns.
