Thanks! I've been using that as a reference when I add stuff to the editor, so I wanted to know if anything new had been discovered.

Is it now possible to use properties like Start Open on untyped elements?

yes.. thats the only built in property for classless items

I thought it was StartEnabled which was built in?

hah, well yes its the same thing

as soon as VALVe publishes something like a tabbed paging system, or a scroll bar I'll add things like that, however right now I'm just adding things that can make better puzzles warm lights being the only exception

Warm lights can make better puzzles. They can direct your attention to a certain area in contrast to cool lights, or visa versa. When VALVe makes the paging system, would you be able to put them in the same prop? With a little check box that says warm and cool. Like the fizzler or death field choice. It would save room for other entities.

Yes, but it would say something like "Weighted/Cube/Sphere" instead of "Warm/Cool" in the menu.

I dont even know if I can do that, because the light already has its own class which exports a certain way

He needs to fix the indicator lights on the trigger

problem is that everything valve put in is visible.
This is one of the things they insisted on; things should be straight forward, thus all visible.
To make everything more clear they display every connection between every test elements with an indicator light (they're always visible so nothing wrong there).
Because of this it's most likely impossible to fix it right now, unless valve brings an update which allows indicator lights to be turned off.

You could always use I/O to send the connection to another entity with the same number, but that would confuse the hell out of most of the PTI users.

I dont think that would work... the way PTI handles IO is simple and hard to bybass
however I suppose all I can say is dont worry about the indicator lights for triggers.... I have that all good on my personal build
however there are quite a few things that are still not finished

the models aren't done, still need the pneumatic diversity vent model, and drawbridge
the autoportals don't recall properly
I also need to make pnuematic vents togglable
doors dont have proper signage
crushers should have better timing, and they dont work 100% correctly

when these are done, I'll ship it

And all the other stuff looks cool also. I'm definitely going to try it out when it's finished.
