jockey is a point entity available in Left 4 Dead 2. By default the AI director tries to spawn him in front of survivors (SPAWN_SPECIALS_IN_FRONT_OF_SURVIVORS spawn set). Jockey spawns with his melee ability weapon_jockey_claw and ability_leap which controls his special ability.

Tip:To spawn jockey manually commentary_zombie_spawner, info_zombie_spawn or ZSpawn script function can be used.

Warning:Trying to spawn jockey using SpawnEntityFromTable script function or by placing him directly in a map will crash the game

Important:Spawned jockey's classname is player
