This is a test chamber. Four walls, ceiling and a floor. Good enough for science!

This map is mostly constructed from instances, including a custom modified "arrival_departure_transition_ents.vmf" used to handle giving the player the upgraded Portalgun and the ending text. Aside from this, all instances used are stock.

Source VMF and modified instance VMF included.

Thanks! This is invaluable. I've been meaning to add the elevators to my map for ages, but I've been afraid of the complexity of doing so. But this map let me see how it's done, and I did it Working out the crinkles now, but seems to work well overall.

Have a nice day,

I'm assuming he's typing on a mobile and it autocorrected whatever he meant to say into "door knob". Also, "diponibilizando" is Portugese for "providing". Not sure if this helps you in any way, but may aide in deciphering that mess of a post

Thank you msleeper for the arrival_departure_transition_ents.vmf, this is much better that what was supplied in the sdk. I'll make sure credit is given.

First guy tells the second guy, "My head hurts!" The second guy replied, "Stop thinking so much!" Then the first guy says, "I think that what caused my problem in the first place!" The second guy says, "Then stop banging you head against the wall!"

@msleeper:
Can we use the elevator instances you made for the contest?

Thanks!
