How do I make it so an arial faith plate launches cubes up into the air? I've made a faith plate under a dropper, and the plate launches the player into the air, but the cube just bounces off it. What am I doing wrong? :ohdear:
[QUOTE=Smasher 006;29928793]You haven't built the cubemaps and there are un-aligned textures everywhere.[/QUOTE]
Thanks for reply. How to do that. Place cubemaps and tie to them the brushes?

Have you checked in the flags?
[QUOTE=Quq;29923987]why is the player on the floor[/QUOTE]
Because the part of the puzzle requires getting on the ceiling to get the cube. If you started on the ceiling what fun would that be?
[QUOTE=Randdalf;29924578]Isn't "gravity inversion" basically what excursion funnels did?[/QUOTE]
Excursion funnels don't invert gravity. They push or pull you in a straight line. Gravity inversion allows you to freely walk on the ceiling and drop things and have them fall up.

I placed a fog enity and i have NO IDEA where it went and i can't find it >_< is there anyway to single it out
Can somebody explain me how to align textures with cubemaps? Thanks.

On the bar at the top go to Map -> Entity Report.

Simple scripting at work again. If used correctly then i could see this making an interesting puzzle map. I really need to cut back on concept maps and actually think about an actual puzzle map.

holy crap. I could see this being used for puzzles where each "time zone" has different parts functioning/non-functioning, but you bring the same cube through the two zones to operate both at once.
What happens if you bring one cube through a portal? Or pull one out?

the other one "dissapears" because it got teleported to the void of the map. If you bring it through again though it reapears. You could just dissable bringing some object through the "time machine" though to fix that issue.
The idea i had was basicly "one" cube that cant go through the machine but you had to go back and forth between the two versions to get through properly. You would obviously need a portal fizzler when going back and forth or else you have a "time traveling portal". Although in theory you could use the same box script for portals and have a portal in both areas move with you as well.
I was wondering why did the map compile process took quite long (well, like, 20 seconds instead of 10). Looks like i've been testing my map with -final :P

remember those many Zelda games where you went back and forth between past/present, light/dark worlds? where changes in one affected things in the other. Old/New aperture could be a bad-ass game.

The orange should go in the labyrinth and the blue help him from above by seeing him thru glass.

I made one a couple of weeks ago, you had to guide a laser through the maze.

It was a WIP so I got varied feedback, I might finish it up if people still like the concept.

I think that's great. You should make more of them.
[QUOTE=Archy18;29929845]Can somebody explain me how to align textures with cubemaps? Thanks.[/QUOTE]
Aligning textures and Cubemaps are entirely different things. Aligning textures means making all the texture be in line with each other, so no metal panels sliced in two or different brushes having the textures in different places.
For cubemaps just add env_cubemap's arond about 64 units off the ground, then type 'buildcubemaps' in the console.

I added the script to the P2Mod wiki. The code is a bit sloppy but as long as I get it out there and people modify it for thier own use then it was a success.
So I've tried adding a couple of fizzlers, but for some reason they're turning up invisible..? I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, I've followed the tutorials and everything, but I can't get them to show up. Anyone know what I'm missing?

Nevermind, figured it out

Go to it's properties. "Visible" is set to No by default (for some reason). Change that to Yes.

Yeah, I was checking the properties and noticed that, didn't really make much sense to me either. Thanks though

Thought I would take a break from revision for exams and do a little Portal 2 world portal test again :v:.

Are you using a custom instance with a floor button in it? That's a bit unnecessary IMO.

Still gotta love the trippyness of world portals. I'm trying to think of an example map that uses them in a decent way for the box mover script.

Seems the buggyness with world portals is down to how many are active at the same time and whether you have multicore on. Try making it so they are only active when you are about to walk through them.
Alright I got the Wheatley monitor and room setup, it works and everything, but does anyone know how to make him do anything other than look at you?
