[Portal 1] elevators and moving stairs, I need help
Hello. I got Portal 1 again wich I prefer than Portal 2, well that's not the question...
I am building levels for portal 1 and the documentation on valve's wiki help me but there is 2 things I still cannot make and have much troubles while trying to make them.
I don't know if I post in the right section, but I did not find similar active forum for Portal 1 map builders.
First of all, the elevator wich is very complex for me, even more text file than usual and a very long process to make, this is in addiction very hard, too hard for me and all that text is in english...
Secondly, the moving stairs from this tutorial : https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wik ... ing_stairs
This dosen't look extremly hard but I cannot get working stairs.
I am lost after creating the wedge (what texture to set, in this tutorial it is equiped of a purple texture who can means he've put an "invisible" one ? I don't know) but the problems are all after this and I cannot make anything working and good.
My question is the following one ; I did not find any "example" vmf's from these 2 tutorials, so what I ask from Portal 1 levels builders is to give me a VMF file with an already working "ready to use" elevator and moving stairs (maybe in 2 separate files if necessary, I don't know).
I used the search to find them but it did not find anything. I'd really appreciate some help, especially already "made" VMF example files of these 2 systems.
Elevators were also a problem for me. Try Googling elevator prefabs. I found one a while back when I mapped for Portal 1. The same should work for moving stairs.

Thank you for answer, Now I got all the VMF's possible I want exept one.
I only need one more who is missing for me, and I can't find it anywhere,on gamebanana or anywhere else by typping it on google.
I've tryied to follow the tutorial about rotating portalgun :
https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wik ... _portalgun
I cannot complete this tutorial which is very complex for me, I cannot get it working as it should do.
First of all, I try to fit my portal gun in it's area but it always keep falling on the ground.
Secondly, the blue portal shooted get's only shooted in one direction, and the system do not rotate (to fire the portal in others faces, from 90? angle direction from previous shoot). Maybe it doesn't do the job because the portal gun is on the floor ?
This system looks too complex to make for me, and what I ask again, in another VMF map file where the entity is created completly like on this tutorial, like the other VMF files you found on gamebanana.
I appreciate your answers guys, but now I need that one more.
