func_areaportal
From Valve Developer Community
This is a brush entity available in all Source games. It creates an areaportal, used to manage visibility in maps. When the portal is open it stops objects not visible through it from rendering; when the portal is closed it cannot be seen through at all.
The entity's brush must be textured with tools\toolsareaportal (seen on the left) for it to function.
Warning:Areaportals can cause problems if placed incorrectly. Read about their usage carefully.See also
