Template:Base brush 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.

-== Entity description ==
+{{base_brush}} 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.
-Creates an [[areaportal]], used to manage visibility in maps. Portals define areas, or spaces that are connected in the map. Both sides of a portal cannot touch the same area, for example, a doughnut-shaped map would require at least two portals to divide the map into two areas. A linear map could be divided into two areas with a single areaportal.
-{{optim_brush}}
+The entity's brush must be textured with <code>tools\toolsareaportal</code> (seen on the left) for it to function.
-* Behavior with linked doors can be tricky.  If the areaportal is doing the opposite of what it should, closing when the door is open and vice versa, change the areaportal's initial state.
+{{warning|Areaportals can cause problems if placed incorrectly. [[Areaportal|Read about their usage  carefully]].}} {{optim_brush}} {{wrongtitle|title=func_areaportal}} __NOTOC__
-* Areaportals do not take into account geometry between the portal volume and the player when considering visibility.
-To learn how areaportals work, see [[areaportal]]. For a tutorial on the subject, see [[areaportal tutorial]].
