prop_door_rotating_checkpoint is a point entity available in Left 4 Dead series. It is a special variant of prop_door_rotating for checkpoint doors in the world.

It's used by info_changelevel to determine when to start the transition to the next map when all Survivors stand inside. If the door is closed and all Survivors are inside a properly set-up checkpoint the transition will start. If the door is not present, the transition starts immediately when all Survivors enter.

In Versus mode, the starting checkpoint door cannot be closed and is opened automatically if it remains closed for the amount of seconds specified in versus_force_start_time.

Note:Notices and information how to set up doors on prop_door_rotating page also applies here

Note:All Keyvalues / Inputs / Outputs are same as prop_door_rotating.

Note:The sound that plays for the metal bar being removed is hardcoded. It can only be changed by editing the level_sound script for each map. More info on how to do so can be found here

Models used in official maps. 'Exit' and 'Dead End' signs should be usually facing inside of the saferoom. The models 0x and -0x differ by having hinge on the opposite side. For each of these models there's also static version with _static at the end which are usable as prop_static.
