Ideas on the Lose

Dear Subjects Reading This Message,

I'm currently new to 'ThinkingWithPortals', so with my seer laziness and my "amazing spelling abilities", I would like to ask for some assitance towards my second map. That is, if anyone is willing help... I would love if someone could make me a sideways crusher that just keeps smashing and never stops, by that I mean that it takes no trigger to activate the darn thing. And if you were to make this, make it an instance for me. So I could grab it and use it without the hassle of seeping through the thing and changing crap. To be honest, I'm alright at srcipts, but this isn't scripts, this is muttiny. So once again, if you could do this for me, I'll be glad to mention your name after the map is done, that is if you want it in reqards to the map sucking to bad that you don't want your amazing name to be tarnished. :)

Thanks again,

BlackBird Studios

[PS: If you do make this for me, let me know when your done, or... when you submit it in the Instances for Portal 2 Section, let the subject be a way so I know it is for me, thanks.]

There's this instance you can download straight away, when using it you'd have to trigger it with a logic_timer.
But where's the fun in having someone do all the work for you? You ought to learn doing things by yourself. Check out the VDC if you want to be a good mapper.

Instance: Co-Op Tube Ride

I'm not looking for fun in how to make it from sratch, I learn better from taking apart something then building it. That is just how some people are... I tried that instance, but I don't know how to use it it, it mentions a Reset timer, I don't know how to add it in or let alone what to do with it if I find it. So if you reread this, could you give me some help with this, that would be most appreciated.

You can't expect everyone to do things for you,
Here's the tutorial: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Crusher
And maps with crushers you can decompile
sp_a4_finale1
mp_coop_tbeam_maze
mp_coop_triple_axis

There are crushers without spikes
sp_a3_end
Portal maps:
escape_001
Escape_000
Testchmb_a_15

This map I made has two crushers that go back and forth:

[Spongy: You can't expect everyone to do things for you,]
I'm not expecting everyone to do everything for me, I asked if they could help, one thing I asked for and your assuming that I am incapable of doing anything... I don't like to be rude but please don't assume things. Thank you for the semi-help.
[End of Complaint]

Secondly Master, I would love to get my hands on your crushers like a little fat boy wants to get his hands on a candy bar but, there is no file that I am able to grab to bring it into hammer and use :P Unless there is and I'm am blind but... idk :D

You can decompile the map

I thought Hammer could read .bsp files. I'll try sending a different file like a vmf or something.
Edit: I sent you a PM of the map with the crushers in it as a vmf file. The map itself may be an updated version of the map that I may not have released. Either way, the crushers are still there.

[To Spongy]: I'm not going to take someones map at will and break it down so I can steal stuff from it, what you are offering there is pointless. I know this is well looked down upon in the gaming community. I will not take a persons full map and use it for my own. Thanks for the offer tho...

[To MasterLagger]: Thank you very much Master, I will be sure to open this as soon as I have the chance. Hopefully this will solve my problem with making crushers in the future. :)

Thank you again MasterLagger, the VMF file came through perfectly, I'll be sure to thank you once again when I'm done with my second map, you've been a great help. I know it sounds like I am probably asking a lot but by any chance do you know how to make one of those 'sucky up tube thingys' [Great name, I know]. I ask this because instead of my last map where I had you fall forever, I would like to make this a new way to advance to the next level. I hate the portal doors, they are just to simple and I hate simple. If you don't know that is fine, I'll just make the transistion a longer fall. 'joke' :P
