Okay, for gods sake, don't "look at wiki" or "on other topic" me, i looked on wiki and nothing comes up, and when ever I try to search it on this forum, as the game is called "portal", pritty much every topic comes up. anyway, on topic, this is the set up:

I want a button when pressed, fizzle a portal and activate another, then after four seconds activate the one that was fizzled and fizzle the currently activated one. I've looked on other topics when people want help, and they don't seem to give any infomation. To not be an pain in the ass, i'll include the set-up on this.

okay, theres one button (not a weighted one, just a normal button), 2 orange portals (both with the with ID 0) and a logic_timer. I THINK the button and portal stuff are right, so i'll just include the outputs for the timer. And yes, one is Inactivated and the other one Activated.

Ontimer > Orangeportal0 > Fizzle (0.00)
Ontimer > Orangeportal1 > SetActivatedState > 1 (0.00)
Ontimer > Orangeportal0 > SetActivatedState > 1 (4.00)
Ontimer > Orangeportal1 > Fizzle (4.00)

If you need anymore info, please ask. Sorry for not knowing this, it's probally very simple. I only just started mapping.

If I'm reading this right, you're saying you have two orange portals under the same ID. That's not actually possible.

We only do that when it's true, and because we're trying to help by pointing you to a place with the information you're looking for. If you don't want that...

You dont have to fizzle them. Your logic is nearly right tho. Your outputs should be:

Ontimer > Orangeportal0 > SetActivatedState > 0 (0.00)
Ontimer > Orangeportal1 > SetActivatedState > 1 (0.00)
Ontimer > Orangeportal0 > SetActivatedState > 1 (4.00)
Ontimer > Orangeportal1 > SetActivatedState > 0 (4.00)

Hope that works for you

As Hober said, we tell people to search the forums or look at the wiki when the information you want already exists. If you don't have the patience to search before asking then why should we have the patience to help.

But that's a moot point since this hasn't been asked that I know of, and there isn't an article on the wiki about it. :idea:
