Can't you just kill the turret?

Im wondering why some people are using the disolve effect.

I dont think that glados placed some emancipation grid under water or something.
konke, Just use kill/silentdissolve, its more realistic.

Actually, the "emancipation effect" you see in goo pits is not quite the same as emancipation grills. Emancipation grills make the object float away from you. Toxic goo makes the object float up. Also, how is silentdissolve "more realistic"?

Wow! That was...uh, yeah. Just, yeah.

It is better to use kill or silentdissolve or something, because

1. That is how it is done in Portal 1

2. Why would an object instantly vaporize in toxic slime? It would sink to the bottom then be slowly eaten away at and turned into part of the slime.

3. The blue flashy particles and floating upwards motions make it look really weird.

Anyway, I wouldn't ever use dissolve effects on my cubes in slime.

The object loses its gravitational mass when it dissolves, so it keeps moving in the direction it had been moving in. If you carry a cube through a fizzler it tends to move away from you because the portal gun pushes it slightly when it releases. If it dissolves in the water it gets pushed upward comparatively strongly by buoyancy.

Falsi sumus crusto!

Thanks for your thoughts, people. So far I haven't come up with an example of a turret getting dissolved in toxic goo. Not even the suggested map by FelixGriffin (sp_a2_column_blocker) had a dissolving turret. Therefor I'm not sure where I got the idea from.
