info_player_teamspawn is a point entity available in all Source games except Alien Swarm.

A player spawn point, it uses the same model from Half-Life 2.

This entity marks the spawn point for Team Fortress 2 players.

A standard map should have at least 16 spawnpoints per respawn room, to account for a normal maximum team size on a server with the maximum player count raised to the maximum allowed value.

Note:Make sure to raise the info_player_teamspawn entities at least 8-16 Hammer Units off the ground to ensure they function as they should.

Note:The entity must be at least 1 unit above any surface.

Must have a at least 32 units of space around it on all sides from other teamspawns entities or it will not work properly.

The entity basically searches for anything below its point origin and spawns players there. When flush with a surface, It looks for a valid spawnpoint under that brush. When it doesn't find one near it, it invalidates that spawnpoint.
