player is an entity available in 
Left 4 Dead series. Human players of any team are this entity.
NoteBot zombies' player entity exists for 7 seconds after they die while a survivor bot's player entity remains forever (or until human player takes their places)NoteSurvivor bots, SI and Tank's classname in-game is also player.
Warning:This entity is not intended to be placed in a map manually. Doing so will result in an instant fatal error on map load!
Important: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.

Fake players
Bot survivors and SI are spawned as fake players. Their entities are called survivor_bot, hunter, smoker, boomer, spitter, charger, jockey and tank. Their classname keyvalue is automatically changed to player upon spawning. They still have the same properties, inputs and count towards the player limit as they are derived from CTerrorPlayer (survivor_bot has 2 additional netprops). Their true classname can be observed via vscript only inside player_activate event.
