prop_door_rotating_checkpoint is a point entity available in Left 4 Dead series. It is a special variant of prop_door_rotating for checkpoint doors in the world.

It's used by info_changelevel to determine when to start the transition to the next map when all survivors stand inside. If the door is closed and all survivors are inside a properly set-up checkpoint transition will start. If the door is not present transition starts immediately as all survivors enter.

In versus the starting checkpoint door cannot be closed and is opened automatically if survivors haven't opened it within versus_force_start_time seconds.

Note:Notices and information how to set up doors on prop_door_rotating page also applies here

Note:All Keyvalues / Inputs / Outputs are same as prop_door_rotating.

Note:The sound that plays for the metal bar being removed is hardcoded. It can only be changed by editing the level_sound script for each map. More info on how to do so can be found here
