func_nav_blocker is a brush entity available in all Source games since Left 4 Dead. It is also in Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, Counter-Strike: Source, Team Fortress 2, and Black Mesa. It blocks nav areas touching its AABB to restrict NPCs / Bots from crossing over it.

Note:In doesn't block nav areas automatically on spawn.

Warning:This entity applies its effect based on its AABB instead of its brush model. [ Edit ]
