player is an entity available in Left 4 Dead series Left 4 Dead series. Human players of any team are this entity.

Note.pngNote:Bot 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)
Note.pngNote:Survivor bots, SI and Tank's classname in-game is also player.
Warning.pngWarning:This entity is not intended to be placed in a map manually. Doing so will result in an instant fatal error on map load!
Icon-Important.pngImportant: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.
