Not sure if this has been brought up yet, but has anyone got any watery surfaces to work? Every time I try using the "goo" texture or any water texture, the top surface doesn't appear, but you can still jump in it and swim around.

I posted these in the mapping section, guess I'll post them here, too.

New version of rocket turret kit. [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15663815/Rocket_Turret1_1.rar[/url] Added parenting and the ability to change rocket/firing speed.

You made these maps? Looks wicked!

[QUOTE=Phoenexi;30052483]What? On another note: Do I simply need to parent a core to a camera to give it the same effect like that one guy did? Or is it more complicated than that?[/QUOTE] It looked pretty bad, so I wouldn't bother.

Does anyone know how you get triggers to use filters in instances? I'm trying to get my instanced triggers to respond only to cubes from the cubedropper instances. I've tried the following: [LIST] [*]Passing the name of a filter to a param in an instance (trigger has "$filter" in "Filter Name") [*]Creating a filter in the instance and passing it the name of an object as a param (filter has "$nameToFilterBy" in "Filter Name") [/LIST] Neither way works for me.

Can anyone assist with my issue?

[QUOTE=WarPig;30056367]Can anyone assist with my issue?[/QUOTE] Leak? It looks like you have a hall of mirrors in the first shot. EDIT: Actually, it looks like they're getting some light from a very dim or distance source in the 3rd shot. Has placing a light right infront of them helped? Oh. I clicked too soon and managed to agree with you instead of selecting a window.

[QUOTE=turk645;30044622] I dabbled in it. The scripting is kinda limited though. What are you trying to do exactly?[/QUOTE] Nothing in particular - just wondering how often it's used.

I'm not much of an artist so please excuse the simplistic design. Let me know how your playthrough went![/QUOTE] It was quite nice, I liked it. Pretty nice look on how to use boxes and move them around while you depend on them. One visual thing though, the fizzler textures are a bit off (unless you're supposed to have a line in the middle?) EDIT: Two thing actually, the blue/orange circles overlays on the ground are massive... both of these thing are in that one screenshot...

Thanks for the feedback! I already compiled a [url=http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11217331/Releases/Portal%202/sp_clav1_entry01.zip]new version[/url] with several texture tweaks and a small change in geometry (I moved the door on the left in the screenshot 16 units back because you could back-paddle into the door while grabbing the cube from the button).

So did we figure out how to get music in our levels?

[QUOTE=Instant Mix;30064854]So did we figure out how to get music in our levels?[/QUOTE] Its easy. If you gonna use p2 music - just make ambient_generic with choosed song activated by trigger or use some soundscapes. If it is custom - you need to pack it to bsp to make it works

[QUOTE=Instant Mix;30064854]So did we figure out how to get music in our levels?[/QUOTE] [del]ambient_generic with your soundfile. Check play everywhere.[/del] edit: [IMG]http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc18/kserick19/darth_vader_nooo.jpg[/IMG]

I'm having some trouble with my func_instances, when I assign the VMF they're staying little pink squares instead of loading the instance. Anyone know what causes this?

[QUOTE=Conro101;30071451]did you name them?[/QUOTE] yup

[QUOTE=Conro101;30049240]I want to make a map that also involves a terrible test conductor, he runs out of tests, so he brings up an old Portal 1 chamber, smashes the old blocky elevators out of the way, then eventually pulls an enrichment sphere up to test in that.[/QUOTE] I got this idea for a series of test chambers made by a schizophrenic core(with two voices at once, even) that would constantly change the map while you were in it, tear maps up, flip them upside down, etc, but then I realized how freaking impossible that would be to implement, especially for a first-time mapper. During the summer I'm going to try a few things out. I really like the way world portals work and would love to make a map using them.

Hammer won't display textures for me, how do I fix that?

[QUOTE=NanoSquid;30071198]I'm having some trouble with my func_instances, when I assign the VMF they're staying little pink squares instead of loading the instance. Anyone know what causes this?[/QUOTE] Make sure your map is saved in the portal2/sdk_content/maps/ folder, because the instance paths are relative. Hammer gets confused if your work in a different directory.

I'm making my very first map for Portal 2 and I'd like to know what to change. The walls will defiantly be changed though. [img_thumb]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/559783872468018191/A2F605EFB3818EB1F32E154D10877BA96A97EF48/[/img_thumb]
