Any Cube Dropper
19 Posts
Posted Jul 24, 2011
I want to have a cube dropper that will drop a cube of the user's choice (not a monster box). One button to change between the cube types showing the selected one in a glass box. And another button to drop the cube.
Basically, I want something like Portal 2 Playground's cube spawner in my level.

I tried that but I couldn't understand it.

I will create a modified instance for you.
Edit:
I uploaded it after 3 hours of work, see attachments.
You must set the same prefixname of a dropper and its previewbox with the buttons.

I tried using your instances, but can't get them to work.
I discovered that if I make a cube and give it an input "Skin" with a parameter override of 1, it will change into the companion cube.

That'll only work with a reflectocube if you enable using new skins.

Just put both instances (the dropper and the preview with the buttons) in your map with func_instance and set both fixup names the same! Nothing else to do.

One more thing, I don't want it to fizzle a cube that has been dropped. (In other words, I want to be able to drop multiple cubes.) How can I change that?

You can change it by changing the instance.
Open the dropper instance and remove the output "OnEndTouchAll !activator AddOutput OnUser1 !self:Dissolve" from the trigger_multiple named "Trigger" (it's the big one!). Now save the file and recompile your map. It should work.
