icemaz, I think you could avoid the artifacts by having triggers turning off the portals that you can't see at certain moments (e.g. you are walking down a corridor and the portal is on another corridor when you turn right, the portal and the other side to it should only turn on just before you reach the corner since you won't be looking at them before that). They should then close on the other side once you stop seeing the exit portal (after you turn a corner for example).

Yeah I know, gonna do that for a more complex thing I am working on, but for this example I felt it didn't need it.

Making the crusher jump thing from the E3 videos, but for our co-op map.

What's the name of the texture for the deadly water/goo stuff like in the above image, I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Edited:

water_glados_01?

By the way, thank you for sharing your research. I actually wonder if Escher's Relativity is possible.


...You know. With at least one portal-ceiling and one portal-wall for the top part, and maybe other stuff. Would be funny to make a video in a coop game with a map like this... maybe.



This thing is really interesting to explore, I wonder if we can make reliable puzzles out of this, apart from experiments.

Here's a bit of entity related mindfuck.

Maybe you can use wildcards? 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.

Meh, I like tons of entity stuff so.

[DeanWinchester]

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.

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.

[Delta616]

Anyone made any maps they want to share?

More than possible by creating the room, copying it like 4 times and have it at different rotations.

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.

Like portal playground?

[Jessecar96]

Can someone point me to the FGD file or the other thread

[DeanWinchester]

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

[Xhingfu!]

Is it just me or does the old "Aerial Faith Plate" look so much cooler?


Also, just joined just to say this :P

[sparky28000]

Got the new dropper working without looking at a portal 2 map. Remaking one of the old test chambers.

[Fearlezz]

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.

[Sonic4Ever]

Is there going to be some sort of Portal 2 maps site/thread? just asking

[d3m0l1sh3r]

Somebody understand how to use Fait plates?

I think it's a trigger_launch (or something like that) that triggers the animation and makes you fly.

Getting close to fixing up the map.

Add some dynamic light!

PS. About Plate - i mean direction

[Instant Mix]

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.

Did you put any lightnings in the map? You will need that. If your map contains a skybox, you will need a light_enviroment entity.

I actually don't really understand the dynamic lightning but as far as I know It should be in the map.
Roughly finished the door.

You can copy dynamic light from some p2 map
