This entity is not in the FGD by default.
It should not be put directly in a map because it is for vscripts only, use func_nav_blocker if editing a map.

Template:Brush ent Its a func_nav_blocker, readjusted for vscripts. While stripped of any unnecessary brush data, which makes this entity sort of a point entity, it also provides a simple keyvalue to define its own bounding box. Though, since its a brush entity technically, using the keyvaluesminsandmaxsstill works.

When compiling Entity Groups, func_nav_blocker entities are converted to script_nav_blocker.

Keyvalues

Bounding Box Extents (extent) <vector>
Controls the width, height and length of the bounding box. X is the width, Y is the height and Z is the length.
Note.pngNote:Due to this, the shape of the bounding box will always be a cube or a cuboid.
Team(s) to block (teamToBlock) <choices>
Team this entity should block.
  • -1 : Everyone
    Warning.pngWarning:Team Fortress 2 for everyone either edit FGD and use value -2 or turn off smart edit and set that, -1 is not valid and the nav blocker will not work
  • 2 : Red Team Fortress 2, Survivors Left 4 Dead seriesLeft 4 Dead series, Terrorists Counter-Strike: Source Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
  • 3 : Blue Team Fortress 2, Infected Left 4 Dead seriesLeft 4 Dead series, Counter-Terrorists Counter-Strike: Source Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
Note.pngNote:Counter-Strike: Global Offensive teamToBlock non-functional, always blocks either for both teams or for no team.
Affects Flow? (affectsFlow) <boolean> (only in Left 4 Dead 2)
Does this Nav Blocker block flow in the level? Only Nav Blocker with this enabled will cause flow recomputation on blocking/unblocking.
Icon-Important.pngImportant:When this is true don't block the only path to the level's goal with it or the flow won't be computed properly
