How to create Portal 2 maps

[Fearlezz]

[QUOTE=sparky28000;29360638]I think it's called copy and paste.[/QUOTE]

Only thing I copied was the fog entity to get the right settings. Even then I changes most values. Thank you very much.

That has been there since Portal 1, it's described as "A space that fills with portal liquid and teleports entities when done filling"

How did you get it to load properly in Coop, whenever I try the map loads but it won't let you past the loading screen.

Fff I use that, the map loads in the background (both me and the other player can hear the sound) but it just won't get off the screen with the bots blueprints.

I like the mindfucks you can create with world portals.

Has anyone been able to make a configuration file for Hammer I'd really like to test the maps straight from hammer.

[Jcorp]

Worked on doing panels 'n stuff.

Excuse the darkness and the sound at the end. For some reason the recording made it go all fuzzy.

Have a playground map, stuff is sorted in the rooms so you have more of an area to play. Couple of bugs with the spawner (if you get stuck I am sorry just noclip out :v:) and if you have a problem with the world portal being glitchy just flip the switch again and it'll close.

Features;
-Several lasers
-Light Bridges of varying degrees
-3 Different speeds of funnel (middle one is normal) and you can toggle its direction by pressing the button in front of it
-Cube Spawners (with normal, Companion and reflection)
-Large World Portal for you mess around with
-Large Area
-Several degrees of ramp for you to mess about on
-Repulsion, Prepulsion, Conversion and water gels all available
-Singleplayer and Coop version

The goal is to reach the little area top left of the first screenshot.

[icemaz]

We gotta start using better names for the maps :v:, i've got several "Portal2map" or "testmapportal2"'s in my Maps folder. But i'll try it now :>

[Dlaor-guy]

World portals are so goddamn unpredictable, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't :argh:

Thats pretty snazzy but man your FPS is low.

Anyone know how to make a cube fizzle when i press a button?

[Paulendy]

[QUOTE=erik802;29363678]Anyone know how to make a cube fizzle when i press a button?[/QUOTE]

Make a brush over your whole map and tie it to a trigger_portal_cleanser, then make the button enable it and disable it after a delay of 0.05.

If you have a box spawner you may want to make a filter for the box name so it doesn't fizzle everything.

A friend of mine (Paimail21/Stinger) made this map:
