Hi guys, just a quick question. How do I make neurotoxin with the clock thing and the green neurotoxin effect?

I think you mean DEADLY neurotoxin.
And I have no idea personally, decompile the Valve maps and take a look.

Did you try looking at the Valve Developer Community? Sometimes that site has some good information.

"When I said deadly neurotoxin, the 'deadly' was in massive sarcasm quotes. I could take a bath in the stuff, put it on cereal, rub it right into my eyes. Honestly, it's not deadly at all. To me. You, on the other hand, are going to find its deadliness a lot less funny."

For the screen, it's just a vgui_neurotoxin_countdown which is triggered to 'enable'
http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki ... _countdown
And the neurotoxin is just an info_particle_system
Heres how it's set up in the final level

Okay, so how would you apply the green tint to the players view?

Color correction, probably.

I think using a fade would look a lot worse than color correction, but yeah I guess you could use it.

Hey I tried this out on a scrap map I was working on, I got the Countdown and Neurotoxin Emitters working but my character won't die at the end of the countdown. Do I need a trigger or special Output to kill the player?

yes use a logic_relay or a Logic_timer to kill the user when the countdown reaches 0

Ok, I don't normally have trouble with outputs, but this is kind of confusing. Could you post a picture of what the output should be?

I got it to work, a room sized "trigger_hurt" with an input from the "logic_timer" to trigger it. Use RefireTime to set the seconds and use another trigger to activate it. Give "logic_timer" an output like: "OnTimer | trigger_hurt name | Enable"
Ha! No way to escape now! Unless you press the secret button.

but what is the vent on the final level? I mean the one that sprays the neurotoxin. The circular thing.

The vent doesn't spray neurotoxin, "info_particle_system" sprays it. The vent is a prop or a texture tile with the "info_particle_system" in front of it to make it look like it is coming out of the vent.

ok, thanks. Also what prop is the countdown in the final level? There is a difference between the portal 1 and 2 timers.
