Transition Teleportation Point
This article Elevator_(Portal_2) explains how to create elevators by using instances. The problem is, those instances were specifically created for the singeplayer mode, if you want to customize something specific such as whetever to spawn with or without a Portalgun, you would have to customize the instance or the VScript. If you're creating a workshop map, it's better to create a instance or a customized VScript, packed within the BSP.
Most of those transitions use update/scripts/vscripts/transitions/sp_transition_list.nut as a VScript file and call the function OnPostTransition() within it. This will loop through the table scanning for the current map. When the map was found and there's no entry in the table before the map, starting with the character @, then by default it will try to teleport to @elevator_entry_teleport and @arrival_teleport.
Note:Note that some files override eachother, example "portal2", "portal2_dlc1", etc.
