Brush Entity

This entity causes a level transition, where a new map is loaded and the player is placed in it.

Attributes

Name (targetname) - Property used to identify entities.
New map name (map) - The name of the new map to load.
Landmark name (landmark) - The name of the info_landmark that defines the same point in space in both maps.
Change Target (changetarget)
Delay before change target (changedelay)

Flags

No Intermission (1)
USE Only (2) - Entity can only be triggered by another event.

Notes

It's recommended to keep your map names short with no capital letters, underscores or special characters. Instead of Chapter_3_Level_5, try c3l5 or ch3lvl5.
It's recommended to follow the same naming conventions for landmarks - no capital letters or underscores / special characters.

Just to make it clearer, if you want a button, mm or anything else to trigger a teleport, the "use only" flag MUST be checked.

What's "No Intermission"?

I know it's 11 years since this comment was made but posting this anyway just in case anyone else wants to know what this flag does.

Out of curiosity I looked up trigger_changelevel in the Half-Life SDK and it appears it only defines the "USE Only" flag and this is the only flag it checks against.
It seems it's a leftover from Quake where after a level change was triggered it would switch camera to an info_intermission during the "monsters killed/secrets found" screen, unless the flag was checked. While this functionality was removed in Half-Life, the flag remained.

TLDR: The "No Intermission" flag doesn't do anything and is just a leftover from Quake.
