PORTAL 2 - TRUSS AND PIPE SIMULATOR 2011[/QUOTE]

More haunted music and reduce the contrast by 50% and you'll get my map. And monsters, but it's so dark you can't see the fuckers.

Did the same thing a week ago. I was going to use it for my summer mapping contest entry.

None of the less, great job. I just parented the env_project_texture to the cube and forgot about it. I didn't even bother tweaking the properties.

The flame is an env_sprite iirc.

The thing that bothers me is using old aperture buttons for time control, perhaps use the dirty new aperture button skin, or make a custom texture (if you really need to have a different style for the time control buttons).

Oh, I will be making custom textures for the time buttons. I'm gonna enter this for the Thinkingwithportals contest and one of the rules were that there was not allowed to have custom content in the maps. I'll be making the skins after the contest is done.

All I did was add the elevator, the logic, and the transition.

Go to Map and Load Pointfile.

This will load a line which will point from a prop to a place where there is a leak in your map. This usually means that part of your map is not enclosed, making it calculate light improperly.

Basically, there's a crack in your map.

Goddamn I love knowing how to map in Hammer.

Thanks man, it worked! :D

[editline]30th May 2011[/editline]

One last question: I made working elevators, arrival and departure, but how can I change the potatOS gun to the regular portal gun?

[WarPig]

Can anyone upload instance/coop/coop_spawn_room.vmf I saved it with edits and forgot to change the name.

[lotus006]

I start with instance and I don't know how to open the cube dropper on that instance. (gameplay/cube_dropper_shared.vmf) I want to make open it when I put a box on a button.

Thanks.

Ok, I've hit a road block. I've put all the necessary elevator instances at the end of my map. The issue is that i don't know how to make the elevator not say any text and to bring the player back to the main menu.

You have to edit the actual instance file.

[PGunnii]

[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;30146998]You have to edit the actual instance file.[/QUOTE]

I figured that much, I'm just not sure which one, and which entity (though I know what entities I'm looking for).

[lotus006]

I found something good here watch this for Instances :)

I am planning to turn this into a mod at one point if Valve adds mod support, for you are supposed to be Ratman and I want to change so many core models/functions for this to be as scary as possible.

Not really true as it still can be helpful for beginners, but there are many better tutorials in text and video form.

Also, apparently Jimmy disagrees with you. I'm betting on he has a more flamboyant way of saying of what I just said.

Holy fuck how many things does he need in his system tray?

[Hell-met]

I got the [url=http://www.sourceop.com/hell-met/portal2hl2.jpg]combine turret[/url] working.

So if anyone is looking for an idea, just make a combine facility puzzle pack.

Projected textures and all.

yeah sure

[quote]This isn't helpful in the least bit to anybody who knows anything about Hammer.[/quote]

you are stupid as fuck if you think that it's not helpful to anyone who knows anything about hammer, there's many many people who know tons about hammer and haven't experimented with any of the instancing stuff. you're acting like it's something you instantly learn as soon as you start mapping when in reality it's something that hasn't been very well documented until recently.

Suggestion for the window: use a prop for the rim of it. It looks like shite without it, I learned that the hard way.

[editline]30th May 2011[/editline]

Other than that it looks great!
