I'm pretty sure there is a tutorial on the TWP wiki.

No there is not

Can somebody just tell me in this forum?

There's really no point in us telling you how to do everything; you'll never understand the editor.

This is really a very simple concept, if you just learn how a button fires an output, and how to use the I/O system then there's really no need to ask.

Is it big deal to you to tell me how can I do that? I have tried many output settings example: name: on open, target: autoportal, via this input: set stage active etc., but I can't get it work no matter what I do.

And Farragar, u know what? "the one asking does not go astray from the road"

I can't understand why you pro's can't help beginner with mapping?

I understand that you mean "by experimenting, one learns", right? But I tried all thinks that I know and thinks that I don't know and even more .

I think it's better that I give up with mapping...

Yes, you're right in that

But there's a difference between asking a few pointers; to use your own metaphor, a question or two is fine, but a constant barrage 'pisses off the seasoned hiker.'

The I/O system is fairly simple. when you want to add an output from your 'trigger_multiple' You have:

'My Output named:' This is the action that will fire the output. For example, OnStartTouch

'Target entities named:' This is the name of the entity/brush/particle effect/whatever that the output will effect. So, if you named your portal 'room1_blue_portal' then that's what you would stick in here.

'Via this Input:' This is what's going to happen to your target entity. In your case: 'SetActivatedState'. For a func_door you might have 'open'

'With a parameter override of:' This depends on the target entity, for most entities it won't be needed. In your case, it represents a Boolean (0=false 1=true) value for the state of the portal. Therefore, 1 is an open portal, 0 is no portal.
For other entities like an env_texturetoggle it can change the texture applied to a brush, or with a math_counter it can change the value stored in the counter.

'After a Delay in Seconds of:' Self explanatory; this will delay the output by x seconds after the trigger is fired.

I know all that, but the point is, I can't get it work even I made the I/O system looks same as your example. But thanks that you tried help me

edit: Oh I get it to work now

Protip: The only things you should be typing into any of the fields is something that starts with an ! or in the delay/parameter field. Everything else has drop-downs which prevent typos or just general not knowing.

In the trigger for the button use the following outputs:
replace "prop_portal" with the actual name of your prop_portal.

To Open:
OnStartTouch -> prop_portal -> SetActivatedState -> 1 (put this in the parameter section)

To Close:
OnStartTouch -> prop_portal -> SetActivatedState -> 0 (again in the parameter section)

Yeah I know that now I have my first maps first room nearly finished. I only have to somehow fix one button that make bad drone when I jump to it, and make switch to destroy old cube and and give new cube from dropper. And of course lighting. Then it's ready. My first map
