changelevel example + source
this is an example of how to make a changelevel. please read the readme file, it helps a lot. give feedback unfortunately i cannot create this into a instance as you have to change some of the values, then add it into the download (and no one want one thousand custom changelevels) so just stick to making one yourself.
Proof of concept AFP fire on button press.
Just a quick proof of concept.
[Instance] Ramps
I made some ramps out of 5 64x64 panels the ramp goes up by a height of 80Units. In the Download you can find 4 different types of the ramp.

Template textures + common prop gallery (vmf)
I usually start my maps with this template: - It contains my favorite Portal 2 textures applied on small cubes (so I can check "display only used textures" in hammer texture browser) - I placed my favorite (most common) props: vegetation, broken ceilings, debris... Its easier and faster to check the props like this (I just copy them from here). I can also see their sizes etc. And for the textures, it makes browsing faster. When I'm done with my map, I just delete the room note: delete the player_start and the trigger_auto that displays the starting text

arrival_departure_transition_ents
My tweaked version of the stock arrival_departure_transition_ents.vmf instance that lets you change the opening title, subtitle, and end level on-screen text or disable them. After placing this in your map, open the properties of the instance to set the following options: $subtitle_boolean_toggle -Default value is 1 (0 disables) -Determines if the $chapter_subtitle is displayed at the start of a level $endtext_boolean_toggle -Default value is 1 (0 disables) -Determines if the $end_text is displayed at the end of a level $title_boolean_toggle -Default value is 1 (0 disables) -Determines if the $chapter_title is displayed at the start of a level $chapter_title -Default value is(without quotes) "chapter title here" -This is the text that is shown at the beginning of a level $departure_video -Default value is blank -Use this to add video to the exit elevator scene $chapter_subtitle -Default value is(without quotes) "subtitle title here" -This is the text that is shown at the beginning of a level under $chapter_title $end_text -Default value is(without quotes) "You Win Science!" -This is the text that is shown at the end of a level $arrival_video -Default value is blank -Use this to add video to the entry elevator scene
Cube Dropper Example
The first thing i made in hammer, i started using hammer about 2 weeks ago and wanted to do something. This is my version of a cube dropper without instances, i combined the tutorial of portal cube droppers and some of my ideas for outputs. You can get a cube by pressing the button and then you can destroy it and get another one by pressing the button again or throwing the cube into the toxic slime. Pls give some feedback and rate. And remember, when life gives you lemons, burn someones house down.
