NEED HELP with a Map with no Video Solution
Quote from PCdoc on February 28, 2013, 7:58 amI am stuck on a map called "Just Think and Do" by KenShi0771 (see http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=123430206 ).
He is also the Author of the highly rated BrainTeaser v1.0 (see the PTI board) which which is a FANTASTIC puzzle !! Really makes you think long and hard (see http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=123642687 ).
After a lot of trials and tribulations - I solved Brainteaser v1.0 (have not tried v2.0 yet).
But with "Think and Do" I am all the way at the end but simply CANNOT get to the door in time (it is on a timer). If anyone could take the time to try that map . . . can I get any clues or hints ?TIA

Anyhow; the timer in that last part is crazy indeed.How I solved it:
Tip 1: [spoiler]There is a reason why the hole in the block in the center goes through all the way[/spoiler]
Tip 2: [spoiler]If you try enough the laser can hit another surface, so you don't need the one straight across of the laser catcher.[/spoiler]
Tip 3: [spoiler]Even though portals appear to be oval, they are in fact square-ish[/spoiler]
Tip 4: youtube video of me playing the map

The reason I did not post to the previous entry was that I ran a Search for Downloads . . . and the TWP search engine only seems to work sporadically. I noticed that it works best with single-word named maps but with multiple-word names it does not work most of the time. But I will cors-post this.Read just the first clue and am trying it now. I suspected that pathway but so far have not solved it. The area that is surrounded with kill beams seems to be a red herring. There is no buttons or anything there (I no-clipped to see).
ADDENDUM: OK I finally read the 2nd clue and spent about 15 minutes trying to hit the sensor at that insane tiny tolerance. I did not end up needing the [spoiler]lower corner of the square portal but I was just barely within the portal and it was quite a chore[/spoiler].
The last part still eludes me because I simply CANNOT make that in 6 seconds. Also about 95% of the time I do not shoot the portal in the EXACT correct position to light the laser catcher. The 5% of the time that I do shoot it right on the money . . . then when I reach the door . . . it closes in my face and snips my nose off. I need 7 seconds !! Not 6 !!
