{{{entity}}} It is the entity that marks a level change.
It safely changes the level in Left 4 Dead series, and defines the end-of-level safe room. It is unusual as it is a brush entity, where info_* entities are typically point entities. Place an info_landmark in both maps that marks the same location in each map. In Hammer, info_changelevel will be listed in entity class selection menu when tied to a brush as an entity.
Tip:To fire events in the next level, use the OnChangeLevel output to turn on an env_global in the current level. Create a logic_auto entity in the next level that checks for the state set by the env_global.To control which entities go through the level transition, create one or more trigger_transition entities and give them the same name as the landmark. Any entities within the trigger_transition(s) will go to the next map.
