I was wondering if there is any instance or something that is the Personality Core outlets. I'm talking about the ones that Wheatley plugs into in the beginning chapters, and that POTaDOS goes into right before the final Wheatley battle.

EDIT: Btw I want it to trigger something, not just as something for show. It should trigger stuff like a button.

I think there is one model called something like potato_socket.mdl

But if it's just a model, will it still work correctly? Or maybe I'm thinking of something else?

I'm sure you can use a trigger with a filter.

Hmm... I can't seem to find the model. What type would it be? prop_dynamic? prop_dynamic_ornament? That sort of thing.

Hey I think I found it! Filter "plug" in a prop dynamic's World Model. I Haven't actually pluged a core in yet, though.

It won't just plug in if you've only placed the prop there; I'm guessing there's a fair amount of trigger work at play. Decompile one of VALVe's maps and see how they did it.

I've wanted to, but I'm not so good with decompiling.

how can you not be good at decompiling. it require 10 times less effort then actuall mapping.

1) Download: http://nuclearvelocity.com/barracuda/bs ... loads.html
2) Open valve BSP:
3) Click Decompile
4) Save vmf

Done. Wham bam thank you mam

I meant that I've never done it before. Also, what is the map called? The one that includes the Wheatley socket plug thingy. All of the intro maps seem to be early chambers.

I think it's along the line of sp_a1_intro_07. To break it down: sp= single player, a1= act one, intro= intro, (duh,) 07= map seven. Just throwing this out there because some people don't know it. (It took me forever to figure out that d1 in HL2 mean day one.)

That is exactly it! I've decompiled the map, and found the model we are talking about. Now to find out how to work it! I'll probably edit this post later.

EDIT: I've tried looking at it, but it seems REALLY complicated. Plus, there is one huge problem. I can't find out how Wheatley even plugs in!
