Useful console commands for mappers.
"ent_box <name of catapult entity>."
I'm fairly certain ent_bbox <entity classname> works perfectly fine, unless you're wanting to direct the command towards a specific entity.
Co-operative: Lightspeed Upstairs Downstairs
Oh, I was under the impression that the command was specifically for the catapult. My bad.

Added the following:
- Code: Select all
//The following 2 commands require "developer 1", and show stuff like
//portal placement helpers, and their hammer model where available.
//Note: The BBox doesn't necessarily match the physics collision.
[b]ent_bbox <objectname>[/b] Shows an axis aligned bounding box around the object name (i.e trigger*).
[b]cl_ent_bbox[/b] Shows the bounding box around !picker.ent_fire <entity name> setplayerspeed <speed> //Alter the speed of faith plates that use speed:
ent_fire <entity name> setphysics speed <speed>
Cheers MasterLagger 
And credited RubishUsername ChickenMobile with some I'd forgotten. My bad.
I think I tried to make it pretty clear that most commands accept both partial or full classnames and entity names, but tbh I can't be bothered doing <entnameorclassname> on everything
Thanks Skotty, didn't know those ones
Mini update:
mat_show_histogram 1
and
r_simpleworldModel_drawbeyonddistance_fullscreen
Interesting new one I found while browsing a disassembly:
map whatever *sp
Adding *sp at the end forces even coop maps to run in single player without renaming them.
Is there a corresponding command for multiplayer instead of mp_coop?
Woops, looks like it didn't save my last post.
Yes, the alternate version is "ss_map sp_a3_03 *mp" just as you'd use ss_map/ss_enable normally.
However, unless the map has been made specifically to allow coop and single player starts you'll run into some problems, i.e. Player can't move, players can't see eachother, you *can* crouch and move the cam around, you can't jump, etc.
I believe this is something to do with trying to spawn both players from the same info_player_start, instead of having one info_coop_spawn each.
Some maps have gotten around this by including both the SP and MP starts (map mp_coop_community_hub and the portal2playground map) can be started either by renaming sp_/mp_ or running with *sp / *mp at the end. Another approach soon after P2 came out was to use the text files that add stuff for the map commentary to add player spawns as well - worked pretty well, but I'm not sure where you'll find those nowadays.
If anyone can work out how to 'unjam' the players when the maps' not set up for it properly, that'd be great!
