Note:trigger_changelevel can also be used in Left 4 Dead. For example, the transition from l4d_smalltown02_drainage to l4d_smalltown03_ranchhouse (Death Toll campaign) uses trigger_changelevel instead of info_changelevel.
Tip:To fire events in the next level, use the OnLevelChange 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.

Template:L4d series brush It is the entity that marks a level change.
Entity description
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.
Note:trigger_changelevel can also be used in Left 4 Dead. For example, the transition from l4d_smalltown02_drainage to l4d_smalltown03_ranchhouse (Death Toll campaign) uses trigger_changelevel instead of info_changelevel.Todo: What are the differences between info_changelevel and trigger_changelevel? What determines the end point of an escape route?
Tip:To fire events in the next level, use the OnLevelChange 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.Keyvalues
- Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]
- The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g.
parentnameortarget).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report.See also: Generic Keyvalues, Inputs and Outputs available to all entities
- landmark
- <target_destination> Changes of positions will take place on transition relative to this landmark.
- map
- <string> The filename of the next map.
Outputs
OnChangeLevel
