I was just curious if anyone else has this problem, I know one of the updates or something for hammer did this but I'm still curious if anyone knows a fix. This happens to me no matter what. Whenever I try to play a Scene sound with an ambient_generic I get something saying "Ah fiddlesticks! What now?" When I use something in the entities tool like choreographed_scene (something like that) GLaDOS Scene files work perfectly, but no other, I wanna be able to play Cave Johnson, and Wheatley! So, does anyone else have this problem, I'm just curious.

You can't play scenes in an ambient_generic. If you want to use a logic_choreographed_scene you need the actors to have the right names. GLaDOS and the Announcer are offstage in an instance, called @glados; Wheatley is @sphere, and Cave Johnson varies by scene (look in the console).

okay, now I'm confused, can you explain this, what exactly do you mean by console, and what exactly is offstage? and where do i find those instances.

You appear to be try to use hammer. May I suggest using the in game editor. Its far easier.

Also: 2 second search on google. Just FYI:

Console- this is the Developer's Console that is used to enable cheats, spawn things, anything you need to test a map. Have you ever used this? If not, it can be enabled in your advanced Portal 2 settings and can be accessed by using your ~ key.

And by offstage, this means it's an instance put outside of your map. The instances can be found in your instances folder.

Unrelated: Oh fiddlesticks what now is the eccentric Dr. Kleiner, that for some reason Valve used to occupy any missing sounds.

Honestly, iWork, don't you want more people to learn to use Hammer? I personally prefer to see people learning to make Hammer maps to just making lots more PTI puzzles.

Agreed.
