Elevator talk scene
In the game, the screen faded into the loading screen only after the character finished it's monologue and until then you could see the elevator just keep passing through an occasional light. How do I make that happen in my map? How should I call my logic_choreographed_scenes in order for the elevator's script will recognize it?
Also, partially unrelated, can I add more than one sentence in a logic_choreographed_scene or if I want to create a complex scene like the first core transfer do I need to place hundreds of these everywhere?
I've never made a sp map, so I dont know much about those elevlators. But. If I were you... I would click "edit instance" find the trigger/script/relay/whatever it is that ends the map. Then either adjust the time or delete it and make my own to fit my needs. Then copy everything in the instance and paste it into my map.
Mapping Since May 21, 2011
I think there is an option that when the sound stops, the map will transition, it's in the elevator or logic_choreographed_scene
And yes you can have two, just like in the original portal
This is the code that is responsible of the elevator speed and "ReadyForTransition()" command. Does it help?

The script the doesn't matter, you can set the speed as fast as you can and the map will not end until the lines are over I think this works for all elevators.
Anyway have you added a choreographed scene and have you set tHe "if actor is taking" wait actor to finish?
Anyway have you added a choreographed scene and have you set tHe "if actor is taking" wait actor to finish?
Yes I have set it to waift for actor, why?

Everything will have to wait until the actor has finished
Yet the fade with the ending lines show up before it is done playing both files.
Were you using a wav or vcd
I used a .vcd file. But isn't the 'wait for actor to finish?' a command indicating when the .vcd will start? I don't think it has any effects on other entities
