point_changelevel is a point entity available in 
Portal 2. Used to make an easy, one-way map transition. If no landmarks are present in the map, the player will spawn at the info_player_start in the destination map.
However, if the current map contains an info_landmark_exit and the destination map contains an info_landmark_entry, the player's offset relative to the exit landmark will be applied relative to the entry landmark in the next map. Effectively, this makes the entity behave more like a trigger_changelevel. This will also cause all entities to transition over; to limit what entities this applies to, use a trigger_transition. In the Portal 2 campaign, this is positioned in such a way that no entities are ever inside it.
Note:The map does not transition instantly; an automatic 0.5 second fade to black is applied first. Use ChangeLevelPostFade instead if you want to transition instantly.Keyvalues
