Orange Portal Crash Error
I want to control placements of orange portals using a prop_portal and a logic_auto OnMapSpawn, but Portal crashes just before the level finishes loading. What's going on?
First of all, it might not be the autoportals that are causing the crash. Second, is there any chance you can post the VMF?

Well I removed the logic_auto and the map didn't crash, but the prop_portal also completely disappeared. Also, I kinda haven't even gotten to the stage yet in learning about map design that I know how to show you the VMF.
EDIT: Right, so the prop_portal disappeared because I'm an idiot.
So you find the .vmf in your computer on Program Files/Steam/Steamapps/Common/Portal 2/Sdk Content
and then you make it a .zip file and then upload it to the site.

Question: Do you have an info_player_spawn? if not, your map will crash. IT's going to look like a little green guy with glasses.

Yes, I have a spawn. I also pinpointed what was going wrong. It's the "New Location" Output for the trigger. The moment I activate the trigger and it tries to move the portal, it crashes. I have tried fizzling the portal before the move, but to no avail.
and then you make it a .zip file and then upload it to the site.
This. My first guess would be to copy the entire map into a new file and see if it stops crashing, but really seeing the VMF would help. Zip it and upload it as an attachment when posting.

I realised what I did wrong now. I forgot to set a "Pitch Yaw Roll" on the new location and it got angry. Thanks anyway.
