"info_player_start" is an entity that spawns rarely in gm_construct 13 beta. It takes on the appearance of a green polygonal human figure. Its head floats detached from the rest of the body and doesn't appear to have a neck.

Although the face contains no visible features such as eyes, a mouth, or a nose, info_player_start bear the likeness of Gordon Freeman through its glasses and goatee.

Behavior

When info_player_start appears, it will be in front of the spawn building where the spawn points are. Getting too close to it will not only cause it to teleport away near a different spawn point, but also has a rare chance of instantly killing the player, trying to make it look like they pressed their kill bind on accident.

If a player dies and respawns while info_player_start is active, they will spawn in looking directly at info_player_start, who will then teleport away because they got too close to it. Once enough time has passed after info_player_start spawned, it will disappear.

Additional Sightings

A giant info_player_start (Green Dummy) appeared in the skybox during the April fools incident as well as in the gm_kitchen_remaster April fools update.
