nice. I'd love to see this used in a puzzle map, maybe with the room deassembling and reassembling itself to make a new puzzle after the first... but just this is more than I can do right now, just been using the basic map builder for mine so far

Pretty much.

Is this a demo?

Unless you light them in the map from all angles or use only dynamic lighting (or shadowing), no. Since Source handles dynamic lighting as well as a car does flood water, there is no good solution.

With Portal 2, projected textures were restricted to 1 per map. So, that isn't going to work either.

Nice level, Do you know of any way to fix the black surfaces created when a panel moves into the map? You mostly avoided the issue by having the walls start assembled, but it can be seen on the edges of the ledge that raises at the entrance (with you on it), if you hop off and look at the sides they are pitch black (due to being outside of the map when vrad was run). I am having the same problem, do you know of a solution?

How did you get them stuff

thank you!

For the walls, I built instances for the panels to push out. Then put those in a bigger instance that slid up/down (a second instance was missing the lowest panel to allow the exit door). The ceiling was a couple func_movelinears with a "on stop moving" sound, if memory serves.

How do you make that automatic construction?

Your stuff are quite awesome and creative. Much different from other awesome puzzles!!

Haricanom: What? I have all my stuff set to public. *puzzled look*

i meant all your stuff

always unavailable

Watching the test assemble like that hurt my head.

WELL THAT WAS SHORT!!1

Can i have it Plz?

I know, right?

wow, this one was the hardest I've ever playerd

that wud be nice to see in a real level hope you or someone makes one, good concept :)

Very cute map, just like the rest of theme, I really look forward to more!

Whoa that was cool

Almost all my maps are proof-of-concepts. Just some are more fleshed out than others.

As a proof-of-concept, it's only natural that there's no level here to speak of --- the assembling effect is still neat, though.

make more of these

never played any half-life.

I've been using Hammer since 2005. I find Portal 2 mapping fun. More so than HL2DM (where I started).

You sound like you know what you're doing...I haven't even used the hammer! But believe me, I will soo play any maps made with it.

Completely possible. You would probably have to build both stages side by side, break the walls up into slides (I suggest instances), route each configuration through their own logic_relay, and have your elements trigger them.

A possible issue would be seeing the unused panels. You could either a) make them part of the background (unlike what I've done here) or b) make them invisible when not in use (set alpha or disable them).

Could that be done multiple times in the same chamber? Example: you put the cube on the button, then the room reassembles in a different configuration, needing you to solve something else to put you closer to the door.

That map was great, but sadly way too short.
