Description:

Some addon maps has weird bug, when you first time spawn somewhere underground.
This plugin is intended to fix that by force teleporting survivors to "info_survivor_position" or "info_player_start" entity location if initial spawn vector located too far (150.0 units > these entities or in case player stucked).

Features:

- 2 methods of teleportation:
* warp (using director command)
* teleport (sdktools), used if first one failed

- 2 entities detection:
* info_survivor_position
* info_player_start

- Fix 5+ players spawned on the wrong warp point (e.g. map: l4d_garage01_alleys)

More technical details:

Spoiler

# Teleportation of player happen when:
Case A. 1-4 survivors:
* Distance > 150.0 units to "info_survivor_position" or to "info_player_start".
* Player stucked.
Case B. 5+ survivors (when both):
* Distance > 150.0 units to "info_survivor_position" or to "info_player_start".
* Distance > 100.0 units to any of already spawned survivors.
* (OR) Player stucked.

# 5+ fix for wrong warp point done this way:
- All "info_survivor_position" having (both):
* Distance > 150.0 units to "info_player_start"
* They are not first 1-4 entities (counted by sorted distance to "info_player_start").
-> teleported to the 1st one entity (yeah, "info_survivor_position" teleported, not players).

Recommended for:

- addon maps (example of map: Fort Noesis (L4D1))

Good job, I was trying to make something like this but in the end I just tried to fix the map with Stripper.

Hahaha, in the end, I also used stripper to solve it

[Dragokas]

I was lazy to use stripper, get coordinates, write map names ... each time when broken map found

No, author should fix "some plugins".

There is "!stuck" command in [L4D1 & L4D2] Vote noobs teleporter plugin, which may help you.
