Square Peg

Description
A simple custom map, created as part of my Hammer learning curve.

You come across one of the exhibition halls used for showing prospective investors around.
Who can see and try some of the puzzle elements used by Aperture in the design of test chambers.

Credits

Made using Hammer ++ (Programmer: ficool2)

and all the many tutorial and guide makers out there, especially "The Sojourner" for p0rtalmaster's Hammer Guide.

Hope you enjoy it and as always feedback most welcome.

Also did you find the square peg in the round hole?

Updated several times - see change notes for details to address issues mentioned.

Thanks Techowl for the reply below
I have now found out how to fix the faith plate indicators, now show yellow not working and green working. :)

@Hikari

The plates have to be activated. The dots are always green in this map.

Umm the faith plates aren't working for me. 😕

Techowl thanks for feedback and I agree the check mark would be a better option, nice to see someone who searches around as well ;) :steamthumbsup:

Oh yeah, I did find the square peg peg in the round hole.

Here's a screenshot;

Well for future builds, if you want to make it obvious without the dot colour change, how about a checkmark icon by the plate instead? Very visible. The ones I use in the Peti editor change from an "X" when deactivated to a checkmark when active.

should really provide a checkpoint mid game, if you die close to the end you have to start all over again

GrottoLova Thanks for the run through very close to what I intended, still leaning and need to get play tester in the future to show up my short comings in my puzzles :) :steamhappy:

Techowl I agree but there are many, as myself included that are colour blind or not as well familiar with the colours, that are reversed on doors or buttons, to faith plates. I found the whole colour thing confusing myself and as is seen in SHOOD's blind play, I don't think they even noticed the colour change at all. Still thanks and I learned something that the colours are Yellow and Green, as I thought they were Orange and Blueish ( now it makes more sense). I must find some Play Testers for my next map if I can come up with a new Puzzle. Really appreciate the feed back as it's my first map made in Hammer from start and I'm a on a big learning curve :) .
