COOL

THAT IS SO FIRE ITS SO GOOD

cool map

Cool map! Love the puzzles

How did you make the multiportal? Cuz it could be used to make a time portal or something

How beat chamber 2

This map is good, but in the 2nd test, the faith plate was backwards. So when the cube dropped onto the faith plate, the animation was flinging away from you, but the cube went flying towards you.

This map is OK, but has several problems that I can understand why many people couldn't complete the map.

Rooms:
1. Nice introduction. I thought you would have figured out how to use Atlas and P-Body's portals in this map and not use a crude method of creating a new portal pair with different colors, all through Hammer.
2. I kept stepping on the aerial faith plate and killing myself just trying to explore and think!
3. I kept thinking getting the second laser cube would require both sets of portals and the laser to go through all of them. I bet I am not alone. It eventually occured to me to raise the cube to send the laser 90 degrees to drop the second cube.

Great concept! The first and second rooms weren't too hard but I can't figure the last room out, I think I'm supposed to fling my self out of "the wall above the door and across from the door" to get the first lazer cube but I've no idea how to do that.

Nice concept.

sooo confusing... but well done. the second chamber was actually the hardest for me.

Could you tell me how to recolor portal ids 2 and 3? I was thinking of modifying this concept a bit (the mechanics of switching devices will be a bit different) and using it in another puzzle...
Stimich was gonna help with it, but he doesn't know how to recolor portals.

how the multi portals if you tell me I will tell how to make a time portal

erm...before i download this UScobra11,explain to me how to make the other portals?

Sorry about the last chamber, this was made when I wasn't the best mapper.
In general: Thank you for the well thought out feedback.

[1/2]

It's a good idea with lots of potential, but I've eventually thumbed this down because of the last chamber. :/

It didn't take me much time to figure out once I read the hint, but there is a tricky 4-portal redirection you can do with the floor and ceiling surfaces that really feels like part of an evilly crafted solution. Another thing that drove me crazy was the floor surface near the exit door. I was expecting the grate and the slightly higher placement to be there for a reason, but that just lead me to a 2-portal setup that felt like a valid solution (works if you hold the cube but the laser falls a couple centimeters off the catcher once you leave the cube onto the grate).

I do like the intended solution though, but there must be a way to make a much cleaner chamber design without all those red herrings... Maybe the ceiling-floor fling and the laser redirection parts should be split into 2 different chambers, I dunno...

[2/2]

For the 4 portals stuff, it felt kinda weird that when you are in 'alt portal set mode', the right mouse button shoots the blue portal and the left button shoots the red one... is this a bug? Also missed frequently the option to toggle back to the normal portal set by hitting the button again, rather than waiting the countdown to end every time...

I liked Mevious' Dyad for Portal 1 more than this one TBH, but I'm really looking forward to seeing more about it! It could easily turn into a full-fledged mod or campaign... :)

Yes there is. You might be doing it wrong.

There isn't enough momentum from the faith plate to get across the gap. It's such a shame because the four portals thing is really brilliant.

Thanks for your opinion. The goal here is not too create hard tests to challenge players, but to make a creative map that people will enjoy.

Great level, and given the fact that this is possible, one can only imagine why Vlave hasn't implemented it for Single Player. The puzzles are slightly too easy (though not that much), so I'm looking forward to see more maps with more portals.

Great idea. I hope you make some tricky levels with this idea. This stuff is too easy

Yeah that. Thanks Felix (i never really knew much about that entity)

You can specify a custom sprite name, but I think this map just uses the default one (sprites/glow01.spr) with rendermode WorldSpaceGlow and the rendercolor changed.

env_sprite is just a glowing dot i'm pretty sure

Lol, you can load different sprite textures with an env_sprite, right? So I was wondering what sprite you load in the env_sprite. Or is that the env_particlefield...

Err.... env_sprites o_O i hope im not mentioning the wrong entity, havent mapped in a while

Well then, what sprites may they be?

Thanks. They are sprites (env_sprites)

This was an amazing map, great work. Now most people would go out of their mind asking how you managed to do this, while all I actually want to know is how you create those balls of light on either side of the button. Are they particle effects... or what?

But that still makes you a genius

True. Otherwise you should play co-op. Just telling badhaloninja that it's possible.

I don't want it to toggle with a key. Having the button in a certain area is part of the puzzle.

By the way, it is possible to toggle this with a key. You'd need to build a new map with the code compiled in if you wanted the colorful effects, though.

phew... not easy... but cool. Now, do the coop maps for single player^^

Not my fault then.

the map wont load from the clowd.

could u make it to were there would be a key to change the portals or did u try that allredy?

Are you saying 8 portals? No, that wouldn't work out so well.

Can you make it for multi-player?

Really cool map, the last part was little bit difficult but thanks to wills I did it eheh

Thanks for playing my map Wills xD I almost clicked on your livestream but i chose not to :( I would've seen you playing my map LOL

i just solved this on my livestream annddddd everyone was yelling at me cause they thought i was doing it wrong but i proved them cause they are stoopid! hahha! good maop though!

dude awesome 4 portals!!!!! awesome map too!!!!!

k thx

It isn't an easy program to learn. It's what Valve used to make their actual maps. It's isn't some friendly guided editor. It's the real thing.

how do you get hammer?

@James Eddings, Aper. Sci. Ph.D. Having it timed is part of the test. Using the timing factor it can be used to create new tests.

I have a question: why does the button switching the portals need to be timed? Wouldn't it be a lot better, and less frustrating, to make it a toggle?

Hammer.
