models\props_junk\metal_paintcan001a.mdl is the one that isn't crushed. just reskin it if you want to use it for orange or any other color paint.

Cool, thanks.

Forgot to ask this before why isn't is workshop compatible? What are the custom particles. What even ARE particles. Sorry for being such a noob.

Particle effects are a type of file that the game engine can use. They are basically a cluster of small objects, energy, fluids or other things that move and animate in a group. Examples of particle effects: sparks, portal gun shots/lightning, glowing flecks emitted by the excursion funnel, dust, some laser effects and gel explosions. The gel has a couple of effects it needs but valve didn't provide, which Felix has added. Source engine map files have a section of the file for custom content that the map needs, like sounds and texture. Portal 2 has a bug that prevents particles from working in this, and this is the only way to bundle files with workshop maps.

Then how does it work submitting it here?

Here we can upload a zip with the particles and map file and get people to copy them into the correct places in the game files, and edit a file to get the game to search for the new particles. You could do this through the workshop, but players would still have to download manually the particle effects.

Exactly.

Also, certain effects need to be set up in the previous map (the color of the gel, for example), so I need to be able to have two maps connected to each other. If I put them on the workshop and people played them out of order, any maps with gel in them in between would be badly glitched.

How do cubes react to the adhesion gel?

Not at all right now. My plan is to make it act like Stasis Gel if the cube is also touching a purple wall. I couldn't do that normally, but if I'm going to require the player to tile the room with triggers I can do things like wall detections.

What do you mean by that I thought you HAD to tile them with triggers or did you find another way?

For Adhesion Gel you have to. I don't want to, which is why Stasis Gel lets you freeze them in midair--without the Grid you can't detect if it's touching a wall of not. But since Adhesion Gel requires it, I might as well use it.

I think Stasis Gel is a different gameplay element than adhesion Gel on walls. same goes for the gravity Gel and the adhesion Gel. If I where you, I would release all of them, the real Adhesion Gel, because it is really awesome and a lot of people wish it, and there for sure a mapper who have no problem with the Grid-thing,
the Stasis Gel because it is a completly different gameplay element.
and the Gravity Gel to climb up, as a light-adhesion Gel,, easier to use in the map, but with less possibilitys. (may change its colour to a little lighter purple ) in the timeline it could be an unfinished prototype of adhesion Gel, taht was used in earlier testchambers before adhesion Gel was full functional (I'm thinking about the story of a Mod or mappack, something like that^^)

I would like to see and use all three of them, but especially the real adhesion Gel

The official adhession gel is lost if that's what you're talking about. That's not exactly what he made.

it is exactly what he made. the real adhesiongel was a portal-versiion of the blue paint in TAG - the power of paint, that is still available. it was functional exactly the same as the adhesiongel he made: it enabled walking on walls and ceiling. on Cubes it also enables sticking them on walls and the ceiling. it also was purple planed, like he colored it. so tell me the difference^^

Does the adhesion gel work with coop?

Unfortunately my method for adhesion gel is fundamentally incompatible with co-op.

Oh well can't have everything I guess. This is still REALLY awesome. I just realized when you step on a wall your portals disapear why is that?

Not anymore. I fixed that since the last video.

But it's because portals can't stay on moving surfaces. Adhesion gel moves the room when you step on it.

Does it only react to gel bombs or does it work with gel streams?

Only gel bombs for now, since gel streams don't interact with triggers. If I replace the Gel 1 with a custom effect it'll work with streams too.
