Here's a bit of entity related mindfuck. [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9038221/Portal2_mapping/e3crusher-setup_step2.png[/img]

I don't know, supposing you have named your trigger_hurt with a common part: OnTrigger: Crush*Hurt ; SetParentAttachmentMaintainOffset; paneltop_rotX; 0.00 Also, you can assign a parent for the hurt crushers directly onto the prop_dynamic Properties using the trigger_hurt Parent keyvalue can you? Since you can't wildcard-parent in this scenario.

Making more progress on the fgd, updated the worldspawn entity for the paint people, created info_paint_sprayer and prop_under_button, gonna make some more stuff and post the newest version later.
[QUOTE=Legend286;29345188]Here's a bit of entity related mindfuck.[/QUOTE] Copy one crusher into new, empty map -> save vmf -> place func_instance in main map -> select crusher vmf in properties -> copy and paste func_instance. That's what instances are for. Simple, easy, convenient. Too bad almost nobody uses them.
Anyone made any maps they want to share?

[QUOTE=Feuvert;29328174]great work. I think the first thing we need to do in the Portal 2's hammer is to make a map just to fuck around with everything. Like only portal-able surface, every goo type (Maybe gamma in a corner with non-portal-able surface.) and aerial faith plate.[/QUOTE] Like portal playground?
Can someone point me to the FGD file or the other thread
It's in the Mapping forums, hard to miss. I got tons of new stuff on it but I won't update in a few hours because there are some minor bugs that need fixing.

Ok, now im working on E3 Aerial Faith Plate map
Is it just me or does the old "Aerial Faith Plate" look so much cooler? Also, just joined just to say this :P
[img_thumb]http://i.solidfiles.net/53c07.jpg[/img_thumb] Got the new dropper working without looking at a portal 2 map. Remaking one of the old test chambers.
I hate how all the stuff that used to be prefabs in p1 like the button, are now their own entity, except the dropper! They use the exact same method like in p1. Even though the animation and have its collision mesh. which makes half of the stuff they use to make the dropper, completely useless.
Is there going to be some sort of Portal 2 maps site/thread? just asking
Somebody understand how to use Fait plates?
[QUOTE=d3m0l1sh3r;29351129]Somebody understand how to use Fait plates?[/QUOTE] I think it's a trigger_launch (or something like that) that triggers the animation and makes you fly.

How fun , my map is constantly being compiled fullbright. Even with mat_fullbright 0 on in the console. What fun. I've also been ehm , fiddling about with panels. I can honestly say , I love them.
[QUOTE=d3m0l1sh3r;29351288]Add some dynamic light! PS. About Plate - i mean direction[/QUOTE] I actually don't really understand the dynamic lightning but as far as I know It should be in the map. [img_thumb]http://i.solidfiles.net/e378b.jpg[/img_thumb] Roughly finished the door.
