Not to be confused with linked_portal_door (
An unrelated entity, sometimes referred to as a "world portal").

Template:Entity 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.
These are not really brush entities. They are brush entities from a mapper/Hammer perspective, but by the time they reach the game, the brush is gone and this is, in effect, a point entity.
The entity's brush must be textured with tools\toolsareaportal
(seen on the left) for it to function.
Keyvalues
- Name of Linked Door (target) <targetname>
- A prop_door_rotating or func_door whose open/closed state controls the on/off state of the portal. This is optional.

- Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]
- The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g.

).
