info_zombie_border is a point entity available in Left 4 Dead 2. It prevents any A.I. controlled infected to spawn behind it. If infected already exists before its spawned or re-enabled, the infected will discard themselves through deletion or suicide. The criteria to be behind this entity is only by position, so Line of Sight is not required.

This is an aggressive way to prevent infected spawning, use with caution.
