Info player start

info_player_start Hello Heisenberg

General Type Entity Nicknames Green Dummy, Green Gordon, Green Walter, Green Guy/Dude, Zeta Bot lookalike Attributes Hostile Rarely Spawnable No Cursed Yes Health N/A Damage Instant Kill

"info_player_start" is an entity that spawns rarely in gm_construct 13 beta. 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
