On a rare occasion, I'll start a custom map that I know starts you off with the portal gun, but when the map begins, I don't have it. I have to go into the counsel and spawn the gun manually. It has happened on three different maps that are not related to each other. Later I'll try it again, and the portal gun is there. Weird. Does anyone know why this might happen?

Put your info_player_start above weapon_portalgun or at least have these two entities overlap. That should make the player start with a portalgun.

Or have a logic_auto give the player the portal gun using the clientcommand entity.
