Hazard Liquid questions
4 Posts
Posted Jan 06, 2010
The map I am currently making needs some hazard liquid, so i'm trying to make some. I've managed to make the overlapping textures, but I don't know how to create the smoke ontop, and how to make it allow the player to swim and die in it.
Thanks to any repliers in advance.

Read up before you post.
Oh.
It seems that there are no more tutorials for this...
I'll make one in our wiki, click the link up the top for "Wiki and tutorials"
EDIT: It is here: http://wiki.thinkingwithportals.com/wiki/Hazard_water

thanks for that. How about the smokey stuff that covers the surface of the hazard liquid?

sorry, but what's the name of this particle system?

The names near the bottom, starting with "water_mist_" are hazard cloud particle systems of different sizes.

If you have a large or irregular body of liquid, you can place multiple particle systems next to each other to cover the whole area. It looks best if you place them so they extend into the sides of the water basin a bit, otherwise the clouds look thinner near the edges.

Just as a quick heads up, I'm going to be renovating the Portal particles page in a short while by including screenshots of each system and a description of each as well.
