"Victory Lifts" in Portal 2
Hey guys,
So I'm fairly new to mapping in source, and was trying to see if I could create what were called victory lifts in portal 1 (and are in a few maps in portal 2). This tutorial for them in portal 1 seems out of date, and I can't find any of them in the example maps with the SDK. Any ideas how I'd go about making one?
Thanks for the reply; I opened up that map and there weren't any victory lifts present from what I could see. I don't mean the elevators at the start/end of levels, I mean the little platforms that would move up and down within the chambers (see the portal 1 variants in the tutorial I put in the first post).
To anyone else with this problem (i.e. following the tutorial but seemingly not being able to spawn a func_door), the func_door is in fact a brush entity, which it seems can only be made by creating a brush, and then tying it to a world entity with Ctrl + T. The func_door entity then becomes visible.
As a general rule, any entity that begins with "func_" or "trigger_" is always going to be a Brush entity. "Victory Lift" is a fancy way of saying "moving platform", so you might want to search for that if you are looking for more tutorials.
