But the transition refuses to work - I see that the text at the end of the level changes the way I edited it in "my_arrival_departure_transition", but the transition itself does not work. Plase help me.

EDIT: The problem is now solved

I did that - Please have a look at my first post.

However I asked CaretCaret, who used a different method, how he was doing it.

Well, I had that, too. But it wouldn't show loading screens, so I wanted to try this method. Also, I'm interested, how did you have the player start in the elevator? And without the potatoegun?

Well I think theres a console command for removing the potato. And theres an instance for having the player start in the elevator... Dont have my computer right now so I cant check, sorry.

For the potato : use a logic_auto which trigger a logic_playerproxy with this following output
OnMapSpawn; Logic_playerproxy; remove potato from portalgun; Delay :0.5
The delay is very important
And for the transition I have had the same problem
Just look this video and do as explained, it works

The correct syntax is actually "RemovePotatosFromPortalgun". You can find it in the dropdown list under "via this input" in the logic_auto. I also use a delay of 0.2 seconds as that seems to be enough.

No. You don't.

Yes you do, Take out FIRST_LEVEL_WITH_POTATO_GUN

The method mentioned is the simple way
If you look at a decompiled valve map, you will never find one of that enity used with that output.

And please don't triple post

Yes and no. Just open Notepad++, and edit sp_transition_list.nut, and save it as _transition_list.nut. Of course, there are many other ways.

But. The. Transition. Will. Not. Work. Always the same "end of playtest". No matter, what I do. I watched out for capital letters and such. I also set the elevator speed in sp_elevator_motifs.nut to 10. But the elevator is exactly the same speed as it was before. I'm beginning to believe, that my arrival_departure instance is broken. I took a close look at it: The trigger, which should start the custom script entity, which leads to the transition script has no inputs.

Could someone please send me a copy of his arrival_departure instance? I'd be thankful for that.

You DO NOT need to edit any scripts.
The starting-behaviour of the gun is determined by the NAME OF YOUR MAP FILE.
