info_player_teamspawn (Team Fortress Classic) Last edited 3 months ago2024-09-04 13:23:50 UTC

Point Entity

The info_player_teamspawn (abbreviation: i_p_t) entity is the TFC equivalent of info_player_deathmatch for HLDM # that is, the location where players will initially spawn after selecting their team and class. In most cases, info_player_teamspawn entities should be placed in a sheltered location # usually a respawn room, but this might vary depending on the type of map being designed.

info_player_teamspawn controls the teams available for players to select when they join the game as well # each team you want to be able to spawn must have at least one info_player_teamspawn entity with its Team value set to that team.<BR>
The bounding box of the info_player_teamspawn is the same size as the bounding box of the player that will spawn there, so make that the info_player_teamspawn doesn't overlap any brushes (or the player will get stuck).

Attributes

• Targetname of teamcheck goal (teamcheck) - Using this in conjunction with an info_tf_teamcheck allows you to switch the entity's team allegiance when the info_tf_teamcheck changes its team setting. The team_no property must be set to Any (0) if you use this value.
