Thanks everyone! One last thing.

I can shoot through elevator doors! How do I make it so it looks like Valve's? I tried Invisible, no draw and noclip. And it doesnt work =(

In testchamber_05 that comes with the sdk, it is just a simple invisible brush :S Im confused!

99% done with 2 out of 3! Overall 65%

I'm a bit too lazy to boot up the SDK right now, but I'll take a stab. I think your elevator door model is non-solid (it's sent a disablecollision input just before it opens and an enablecollisions input just before it closes again). I believe the invisible brush is called something along the lines of crazyplayer, and its solidity is enabled when the player enters the elevator (about midway back, in fact) to prevent the player from quickly jumping back and getting stuck in the elevator doors model just as the solidity is reenabled.

Hope this helps a bit.

Ohh, alright. I didnt know I had to re-enable collision of the door models! Thanks!

No problem, glad I got the issue right.

For the record, that really bugs me. Why doesn't the collision model follow the actual model? I suppose it's not all that important with something that moves but won't be accessible often (in which case you probably won't need a collision model at all), but with something like a set of doors it seems rather important.

I'll look into it.

I use "Onpressed>!activator>strip> >0.00

Still, Chell doesn't really get stripped (I know, very sad). She just lowers the portal gun down.

Yeah, you cannot shoot portals, but it looks bad. How can I really take away Chell's portal gun?

Thanks!

Thanks for the insight Omnicoder

Edit.- Changed the thread name, I did not know I have the power to change the name of my own threads

ive tried trigger_weaponstrip and she throws it away, but I do not want chell to throw it away. I want for it to simply dissapear. (So I can spawn it somewhere else). It is also annoying to use this trigger because if the player throws it somewhere accessible, then chell can pick it up and use it. Which should not happen.

I then went back to use player_weaponstrip. And with the stripweaponandsuit and just strip. Still, all chell does is to take aim the gun down. You cannot use it, but it is still obvious chell has not given the weapon away.

I come here for help, this is the last annoying issue I have with my map. Maybe, is there a way to use trigger_weaponstrip and then kill the gun chell drops?

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I just build cubemaps for my final map, and the refracted windows are bugged. Like they "flash" with some pale color and it looks really bad. This did not happen with my other maps even I also have refracted windows.

Any clues?

No leaks,

I have cubemaps. That is the point, the problem only arose when I placed and built cuebmaps.

The refracting faces. Possible, I am not sure. I dunno what to do. Any alternatives for Refracting windows other than frosted?

Because I need the difference to set aside breakable from unbreakable

make sure the refracting glass is a func_brush.

Also, so you do not get grumpy and so no one makes fun of me. I am supposed to upload the map package here on this link ---> downloads.php?cat=12

How comes no one has uploaded an entire yet?

If it's anything like the mAL contest I entered a while back, people are just waiting until the very last minute. That's no indication of what you should do though, if you're ready you can go ahead and upload it. And yes, I believe that is the correct category to upload it in.

Last map get the "too many vertex surfaces whole world not rendered" but only if I noclip out of the map.

I still get good fps when I play it normally. How serious is this? Should I worry? I mean, you guys are not going to noclip through my level! Right? :p

Ideally I would change maps to have a less count of everything, but I am constrained by the Aperture Science theme, which says just 3 areas/maps so yeah. :p

Anyways, I am going to attach everything, I will be uploading my entry soon today!

Stay in touch ^^

EDIT Actually, the "Too many vertex surfaces whole world not rendered" does happen like twice in the level. Should I ignore it or may I divide the final map into two? (Dive between the puzzle, and the outro)
