info_transitioning_player is a point entity available in 
Left 4 Dead series. This entity will be used as a placeholder for players loading during map transition if the ConVar sb_transition is set to 0.
Bug:In Left 4 Dead 2 maps with the L4D1 survivor set ("survivor_set" "1"in the mission file), the game will crash with the model not precached error. This is because the entity is trying to use L4D2 survivor models [todo tested in?]Idea:If you want to use the sb_transition 0 ConVar this precache issue can be fixed by creating mapspawn_addon.nut and precaching the L4D2 survivors in there if it's needed. See L4D2 VScripts for more info about mapspawn_addon.nut. If using a mode file is an option then setting precache_all_survivors 1 ConVar there will do the trick too.
