Portal 2

Tower of Hanoi Demo

This is a very small map that I have been working on that is a portal adaptation of the Tower of Hanoi puzzle. (Google it, or better yet http://www.mazeworks.com/hanoi/) It is going to be a room in a larger map and everything is essentially in running order (I hope). There isn't an entrance elevator, or an exit, the goal is just to get all the check marks on the exit wall lit up. Basically I used three different style cubes to represent three different size discs, and instead of pegs holding discs I have cases holding cubes. That, and it's upside down...Hard to explain, easy to see. What I really need help with is making this more user friendly for people who walk into this room and have never heard of the tower of Hanoi or what the rules of it are. For example: One rule is that you cant put a larger disc on top of a smaller disc. Simple, but how do I best illustrate this to portal players? (In the case of my level it would be "You cant put cube B below cube A in the glass case" because it is upside down) I put one of the basic rules of the game on the wall of the room, but I think it borderline kills the "portal feel" of the room, and I don't think I should really write out all the rules of the game. So if I could get some feedback on what would make it easier to figure this particular puzzle out, it would be much appreciated.

Co-op airlock instance.

This is an instance of the coop airlock. Since I cannot find where Valve has put this instance (or if they have included this instance with the Portal Authoring Tools at all), I decided to copy it, and make it into one for ease of use. Please note: That this is a Prefab of an instance and you have to keep all the files in the correct folders in the zip. To use this: click the entity tool, in the drop down menu to the Right, choose Prefabs and in the drop down menu below it, choose airlock The reason I made it into a Prefab is so then the instances automatically get named if you place another airlock prefab in. The only entity outside the main instance (straight in the prefab) is a logic_auto, that opens the front airlock door. - This will automatically change the airlock spawns to be the 'Active spawn'. - It comes with the parameter $airlock_success_relay which triggers when both players are in the airlock - It comes with the parameter $door1_hasOpened_relay which triggers when the first door in the airlock has opened. - It does not automatically call the script to make Glados speak when you taunt to the camera (This should be done in the coop_spawn instance). Feel free to download and put in your map!

There's a thousand tests performed every day here in our Enrichment Spheres. This is one of them. Features Blue/Orange gels, and your standard flinging/cube/button type mechanics, etc. Enjoy. This was going to be my entry for the most recent contest but I didn't finish in time.

OK here's the functionally complete, put together gelmaps This is a 3 chamber composite of the two WIP maps I submitted earlier (Bridgeclimb and Gelerase) and a third test chamber (working title: anglebounce) Rather than type up a lengthy description that nobody will read i'll just say "here it is!" Full Wheately themed puzzles mainly involving repulsion gel. Diffuculty: hard PLEASE post me notes on this, any problems, and room for improvement, and maybe some help optimizing the large, open areas (yes I used visclusters.) I need feedback before I do submit v1.0 to the released maps section. EDIT: I just realized that, in area 2, there is a button on the floor to the left as you exit the observation room. The button simply turns the light off and on. thats ALL it does. Pelase ignore it as I was using it to test the lights out part of the sequence im making to go between areas 2 and 3
