Description
This Transition script and custom level choosers can be used to transition to different maps and courses through a hub map (like Valves). The level choosers can choose from any map in the course and it can display what map you are choosing with a message appearing on the screen. You can have 'infinite' courses inside your script, however both players need the same maps in order for the map to transition to it. If anyone wants to make a coop mass mack-pack (from everyone's coop maps), go ahead. It is definitely possible. Refer to the README.txt included with the download for installation instructions and common problems with fixes. If you have a problem and you cannot find an answer to it: put a post in this thread or PM me so we can get it working. One thing I don't know how to do (yet) is to save a player's progress and make the courses 'unlockable', even if the player has ended the game and then goes back to it (with the same or different partner). If anyone can tell me how to read and write to a file, I would gladly edit this and put this function in. If you are to use my instances/script/materials make sure you credit me within your map download or in your credits! Anyway, enjoy! ChickenMobile EDIT: From a very nice person I found out that there are a few errors with this: - The map doesn't transition without a point_servercommand called @command in your map - I forgot a major script that opens the chooser panel - Updated the Readme file to account for a new problem found - You don't have to use my coop spawner instance (your welcome to use your own) Guaranteed all things are now fixed! EDIT: Sorry guys for uploading the wrong file. Fixed in double time.

Remember that you have to use my coop spawner and end_room otherwise the script will not transition to the next map.
Do I have to use your coop spawner? I can't find any differences between your spawner and the one I am using. And I have my own custom end room. So I guess I have to change the changelevel script to the one you've made. Is that all I have to do in Hammer?
Thank you!
Hey, I have a problem with downloading. I can only download the Credits Script, instead of the Transition Script, maybe you have updated something wrong?
EDIT: This could also be a bug, because they both have the same filename.
This contains the same file as the credits instance you recently uploaded. Please upload the right instance, I think this could be really really awesome!

Oooops. Archives were named the same thing...
Uploading again...
I would like to post a quick note here:
This is meant for multiple maps to work with a level chooser, NOT for a series of maps you could transition to normally one after the other IF YOU DON'T WANT A LEVEL CHOOSER.
If you want a simple transition, look at this page on how: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Level_Transition_(Portal_2)
Quick note 2: If you are to use this; make sure you replace any paths for scripts I included (as well as the paths in the instances) so then it doesn't replace other people's transition script downloaded here.
Do ineed all of my maps done in order for transistion to work? I have the hub done and a testchamber In-Progress, But theres more chambers after that in my script. But when I go to test the transstion, It just loads and loads and oads and loads and loads!
Check the console to see if you have put the scripts in correct folder. If you go into the disassembler and in the console you are getting a 'The index 'functionname' does not exist', then your script is not in the right location.
You will have to edit all the logic_scripts and make it point towards the relevant path if you decided to create your own custom folder for your scripts.
And you do not need all your maps done before you can use the transition: technically you can transition to a map without any of my custom instances inside your map from your hub with the level chooser, however it is necessary if you want to transition to multiple maps in one course (one coop map to the other).
Refer to the examples provided to see how it works. Also make sure to compile and test them as well (if nothing happens its purely a script location problem).
I didnt make a custom folder or nothing. I followed the FAQ and made sure everything in my hub matched your hub, except the rotation. could it be that the first map dosen't have a dissasembler?
Also I cant run yours case therye not connected in the script. I replaced your maps (except course 2, 1 course map at the moment) with mine. I also edit the constants and the hubmap in the script
The hub map will have to use the hub disassembler instance.
EDIT: have you added your map names into the script?
I just want to imply that if you use packrat you can put a new hubmap as your last chamber of the first "chapter", and packrat in a new transition script (with the same name as before of course) into that new hub, but with another chapter in it. In the new hub you have then "unlocked" the door to the second chapter, giving the illusion of progress
You can set your new hub as starthub in your new script, the only problem is that the players need to be informed about the new hub filename if they want to quit and get back to the correct hub afterwards. Another flaw is that you need to include more than one hub in your release, but it's the only way I've managed to perceive this.
As for your problem, make sure both the dissemblers, the chooser in the hub and all the endlevel instances that are in the same chapter have the same name, that would get you that issue atleast.
Two EDITS: Correcting bad english and typos
Yes I have my maps names in the transistion script, I peeked at the chooser script and didnt see any thing i had to edit, And YES the hub has the hub dissasemblers.
put your transition script in [code] tags so I can squiz at it
EDIT: also what appeared in your consolel (if anything) when you try to transition?
Okay so now I have added the dissembler in my chamber and named it the same as the dissembler and chooser in my hub, but when i try to transition to the chamber from the hub I get the error that my dissembler doesn't have the animation eggbot cradle or whatever. and stuff like cant findcl_thirdperson and cl_mouselook. before i added the dissasembler in my chamber I only got the eggbot one. AND MY CHAMBER STILL WONT TRANSITION!

And Like I said before, I only have map mp_coop_map_01 and my hub done. In this version there is only one course. Update will give next course
You still haven't given me what your console spits out when you try to transition.
It gives me this:Dynamic prop Chooser 1-orange-cradle_arm: no sequence named:egg_assembly_cradle_arm_anim and then wont transtion.
okay I did that gives me:1<br />#1 map on chooser is: mp_coop_map_01<br />Changing course to: 1 Level: 1 out of: 9. Map: mp_coop_map_01<br />Dynamic prop Chooser 1-orange-cradle_arm: no sequence named:egg_assembly_cradle_arm_
And its totaly silent except for the menu and its not transistioning
Okay guys now every thing is working! except for onr test involving the ping tool.
Thanks for the awesome instance, but will this still work if its SP? :O
Also, the screen's "...order" is spelt wrongly. Its written "oder" there. xP

You could always make your own custom texture for the level chooser. Just sayin' - and yes you could probably use it for Single Player if you edit the instances a bit to work for SP instead of COOP bots (get rid of the disassemblers and trigger_playerteam to trigger_multiple etc).

I tried changing the trigger_playerteam to trigger_multiple. Yes, it works but I wonder how do I change the levels without the disassemblers. Point_clientcommand? If so/not, what do I do to make it change to the desired level chosen in the level chooser?
Pretty much the only thing the disassemblers do is find out when both players are inside them so then the level can transition. in the coop_manager you will find the relevant outputs you need to use in SP.

So all I need to do to transition the player to the desired level is to trigger the transition script?
Uhh...help? I can't transition! When I go to the level chooser, the left and right arrows are gray and when I enter the departure elevator, it won't transition to the next map, it disconnects me. Also, when I start my hub map, I appear inside the transition box. D:
In my console, I got these errors:Entity level_chooser-transition_script encountered an error in RunScript()<br /><br />Entity @transition_script encountered an error in RunScript()<br />
The first one got repeated many times in the console, the second one only appeared twice (arrrival and departure elevator). Help? D:
EDIT: Never mind, I solved it.
Okay another problem, I used the Level Chooser and choosed Map 03. But I went to Map 02 instead. How do I fix it? D:
I need to mention something first, I copy and paste the sp_transition_list.nut and renamed it. Then, I copied some of the things inside your transition.nut and pasted in the modified sp_transition list.nut. I did that because I kept getting the error in the previous post if I used your transition.nut. D:

Do note that the maps are my previously made maps. I'm just testing so that when I make the maps in the mappack, it would be problem free. 
So uhh...Help? D:
Hrmmm.. I don't like your modified script idea. Perhaps some values are conflicting names?
/me will test SP transition with choosers
EDIT: works fine for me.
Besides doing this, I really have no idea how to do it. If I use your transition script, I spawn in the transition box and the arrows are gray, and also the error "level_chooser-transition_script encountered an error on RunScript()"...something like that. Oh, are you saying that you're gonna try to figure out how to use the Level Chooser for SP? Yes, please! Thanks! ^^v
A few things to consider:
1. Name your Hub transition instance the same as your chooser
2. You have to include the start map and end map inside the map order array also (in correct order)
3. You have to call the "setActiveCourse($Course)" function before the "TransitionFromHub()" function.
Here's my script and custom instances which work in SP. Note: you have to place the script in scripts/vscripts/chicken_scripts/
chooser.7z

Thanks! I did 1. and 2. , but how do I do 3. ?
That's the instance that transitions the player from SP. You can edit this to your liking, but generally it should do the same thing.
I can now transition successfully using the transition_hub.vmf but I can't transition if I used the arrival_departure_transition_ents.vmf. D: I want it to transition using an elevator so I used the arrival_departure_transition_ents.vmf. Any solution?
Don't put the arrival departure ents in.
Edit your elevator so it doesn't call any script when you hit a certain spot in the map, but let the player touch the trigger in the instance I gave you.
With the starting elevator you will have to either put a teleporting thing in, or put the info_player_start inside the elevator.
Thanks! It worked but I can't seem to trigger the elevator videos.
EDIT: Fixed it! Thanks! It works perfectly now.
This Transition script and custom level choosers can be used to transition to different maps and courses through a hub map (like Valves).
The level choosers can choose from any map in the course and it can display what map you are choosing with a message appearing on the screen.
You can have 'infinite' courses inside your script, however both players need the same maps in order for the map to transition to it.
If anyone wants to make a coop mass mack-pack (from everyone's coop maps), go ahead. It is definitely possible.
Refer to the README.txt included with the download for installation instructions and common problems with fixes. If you have a problem and you cannot find an answer to it: put a post in this thread or PM me so we can get it working.
One thing I don't know how to do (yet) is to save a player's progress and make the courses 'unlockable', even if the player has ended the game and then goes back to it (with the same or different partner).
If anyone can tell me how to read and write to a file, I would gladly edit this and put this function in.
If you are to use my instances/script/materials make sure you credit me within your map download or in your credits!
Anyway, enjoy!
ChickenMobile
EDIT: From a very nice person I found out that there are a few errors with this:
- The map doesn't transition without a point_servercommand called @command in your map
- I forgot a major script that opens the chooser panel
- Updated the Readme file to account for a new problem found
- You don't have to use my coop spawner instance (your welcome to use your own)
Guaranteed all things are now fixed!
EDIT: Sorry guys for uploading the wrong file. Fixed in double time.
