func_respawnroomvisualizer is a brush entity available in Team Fortress 2.

A visual blockade or a wall that prevents players of the opposite team from entering your team's spawn room. The traditional material disappears as the player gets farther away, and fades in as the player gets closer to the entrance of the room. This entity does not block weapon fire, be it hitscan or projectiles.

Note:Only materials using the correct material proxy will fade.

Bug:The entity may have sorting issues when materials with transparency are assigned. To fix this, set the Render Mode to Color.  [todo tested in?]

In the special case when a team_control_point does not have an owner (is gray), the func_respawnroomvisualizer will be visible, but not solid, to either team. Map developers need to use alternatives to keep players out of these spawnrooms (e.g., one-way doors or func_brushes that can be killed when the team_control_point is captured).

Like filter_activator_tfteam, this entity will let the winning team pass during the humiliation period.
