| InfoChangelevel |
info_changelevel is a brush entity available in 
Left 4 Dead series.
It is the entity that marks a level change. It safely changes the level in Left 4 Dead series, and defines the end-of-level safe room. Place an info_landmark with identical name in both maps that marks the same location in each map.
Risk of Confusion:This is trigger brush entity despite name of the this entity starting with info_ which is typical for point entitiesImportant:prop_door_rotating_checkpoint leading to the saferoom with this trigger that is also properly marked with CHECKPOINT nav attributes must be present when this entity spawns for transition to be possible.
