Hi everyone
I'm now making a map and got a problem
I try to make a level transition as the Valve's wiki said
So I did everything they say
But, when the level begins, I start in the instance, and, even if I pass trough with the noclip
When I go in the elevator, No transitions are maked
Any ideas ?
do you know where the problem can came from ?
How can I resolve it ?
if you want I can put my copy of the NUT file if you want
Thanks in advance :notworthy:

Aha, I see the problem, Go onto your .nut and change "foundMap = true" to false

WTF ???
It's already in "false" :notwant:

Remember what he said, there are 4 options

First level with gun
First level with upgrade gun
First level with potato gun
Last playtest map

If you want to start with a gun, just put the first level with a portal gun in the first level with upgrade gun

Or if you want the other way,
Then go into the arrival and departure elevator ents.
Add a game_ui and a logic auto, then make a output called
Onmapspawn - game_ui - give_portalgun delay 0.3
Onmapspawn - game_ui - give_portalgun 0.5

Arrival_departure instance problem
