its good for tinkering, but there's really nothing in it, in particular, that would make an interesting level. but i say keep tinkering and i'll keep trying what you make.

Just a note: the level will not all be like that part with the combine cube. I have many ideas for the other puzzles, and I think they are really cool. I dont want to give away the answer, but the next section involves a rocket turret, box dispenser, and you rotate a little section of glass tube branches to get the cube to go where you need it to.

[spoiler]alright. now what exactly was the expected goal of this puzzle? i got the ball in the catcher. i saw the fan. i got trapped in the bottom, i spun the button a bunch of ways i pushed the button....[/spoiler]

was something special supposed to happen?

no, not really. the purpose of it was just to get peoples reactions and opinions on it and see if there were any bugs in it. its supposed to be:

solve the energy pellet puzzle

then solve the cube on the button puzzle

during this, you should not be able to get down on the lower level.

When you get the cube on the button, the walls will dissapear and you can get down.

you need a filter for that then so the button doesn't work when chell stands against it.

yeah basically i saw a bunch of checkered board walls and a little cube room area i could spin around, i managed to solve the ball launcher the "incorrect/ninja" way by launching the ball then rotating said little cube room and it just angled it off the bottom of said room right into the catcher, if you want it to only be solved the "right" way you need to deactivate the rotation buttons while a ball is "in-play"

also yeah filter so chell can't stand on it. cuz i managed to walk into the room. the combine wall activated i didn't have the cube, and got stuck there, i steped on the cube and fell down, restarted and solved the ball puzzle. then manage the throw my cube into the room where it fell to the bottom and i could do nothing else. as far as this being a cool "level" then as fractal said there just isn't anything there. as far as you having cool ideas, well then sure, the rotational room thing is cool. but you still gots lots of work to do. ALSO: is the checkard board the texture EVERYONE is getting? cuz it is what i'm getting, if this is the case, atleast texture everything with some sort of generic portal texture so we can distinguish angles and walls and such. hammer uses a default texture anyway (by default) and it seems to be more work to just strip them all off.

ya you really can't have that texture in an actual map. it just goes completely against user guidelines. i mean you COULD have it, but its mightly ugly, like a magenta/black checkered car on the road. woo send it to the dump! hurry!

Quote from cornontheCoD on March 20, 2008, 6:23 pm

Oh, woops, i didnt realize I did that. the map is much less confusing with the actual textures. I didnt put cubemaps in yet, so that must be the problem. i didnt know it would do that!

Im taking it off the site. I might do a cubemapped version, but i dont know
