Conversion Contemplations

Description
A little test to shake off some rust? I did a little messing around with conversion gel, which is always a technical challenge. Had to change a lot while making it because some things were completely skippable and I couldn't find a way to make them not skippable. I also had to give a little extra time on some things just in case for some players without light speed reflexes hahaha.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy playing this fun, short test! Leave a comment and tell me what you think! :)
(For those of you who follow me/care to actually read the description, my portal broke AGAIN and wouldn't let me play any newly downloaded maps. It's quite annoying, but i think this latest update to portal 2 fixed it again. Somehow. In any case, I'm glad it's working again. No promises on how often I'll get motivation to try for a new test though. Anyways I appreciate those of you who always play my maps and comment <3 It always makes my day!)

Don't worry, I'm not confused, I know the timed funnel upstairs is meant to be used in your intended solution, obviously, and it's easier to use it, than not. The new glass floor certainly makes it much more continent to use it, but not essential. Here’s a video of how I did it this time: intended solution ? As you’ll see, I did have a problem this time at one point - no idea why, it work fine last time, perhaps I was just unlucky. Anyway; good fun, thumbs up.

Alright, i did one change that I think may clear up your confusion. Changing the divider between the two levels from grating to glass i think might fix what you're talking about. I know I originally had it made of glass, but I have no idea what made me change it to grating. I hope this clears the intended way up?

Yes, there was an update to the standard built in editor a few days ago - the first in a few years! I didn't use the timed funnel upstairs so how can the way I solved it be intended?

That wasn't an unintended solution! Once you get the cube on the guarded button, it's intended that you have a blast with the gel. But only once you get the cube there.
also the problem started weeks ago, and i gave up. but a friend told me portal 2 had an update so i checked for the hell of it and it was working so? *shrug* who knows!
Thanks for playing! I appreciate the loyalty :)

Good to see you back. Good fun, but, as with almost all conversion gel maps, it’s difficult to make one that can’t be exploited: unintended solution. There was a problem with Steam yesterday that might be the reason it “wouldn't let me play any newly downloaded maps”, but it seems OK today – fingers crossed.
