func_areaportal
is a brush entity available in all Source games. It creates an areaportal, used to manage visibility in maps. When the portal is open it stops objects not visible through it from rendering; when the portal is closed it cannot be seen through at all.
These are not really brush entities. They are brush entities from a mapper/Hammer perspective, but by the time they reach the game, the brush is gone and this is, in effect, a point entity.
The entity's brush must be textured with tools\toolsareaportal
(seen on the left) for it to function.
