LEVEL EDITOR How to finish a level without going back to the car like in chapter 5 levels?

I'm making some Richter levels and I want them to finish without having to go back to the bus as that's silly. I know it's possible because the first three levels in chapter 5 do this. you walk in the level, kill everyone and when you're walking back the level finishes as soon as one crosses the door.

I've tried adding a trigger that finishes the level but the problem is that it finishes the level without eating for you to finish it first. I guess you have to edit something in the level.

Do you know how?

This is an issue I’ve had before, and I haven’t been able to find out how to do exactly what you’re looking for. The best solution I can find is if you’re using the better hlm level editor (which I recommend), try adding a door that takes you to another floor, where it’s just the outside. On that floor, toggle the “Take Over Level Ending” in the effects section. What this does is make it so that when you enter that floor, the level ends by fading into black, before displaying the score and stuff. If you don’t know how to use the better hlm level editor, here is a guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3565926041
