Portal 2 Indicator Strips

There are a lot of different indicator strip files and indicator signage files that all look the same, and I don't know which ones to use, any help?

You really should just have figured this out on your own through trial and error, but since you ask, these are the ones I use, and seem to work well.:

signage/indicator_lights/indicator_lights_floor
signage/indicator_lights/indicator_lights_wall
signage/indicator_lights/indicator_lights_corner_floor
signage/indicator_lights/indicator_lights_corner_wall

Ta-da.

Okay, they work now, but the wall ones randomly disappear sometimes.

In the map or just in the editor? I've noticed overlays tend to flicker and dissapear a lot in the editor but they are always OK in-game, at least for me...

... although, signage_paint_jump doesn't light up for some reason, anyone else have this problem?

Use the Textured view, Shaded Textured Polygons is kinda buggy and overlays do that.

Hear the turret, for it is knell. It summons thee to heaven, or to hell.

In editor, and in game, and then I have to remake the indicators because they disappear.

Open the properties of the indicator lights and click on "Brush Faces". Click on "Pick" and then click on the brush you want the indicator lights to appear on. If it stretches across multiple, hol ctrl and click on each one it appears on. Afterwards, click apply and it should work. I had this issue a few times and did the same thing as you, but then this last time, I realized that Brush Faces property. On a hunch, I clicked on the new brush it stretches across, and it reappeared.

I have almost the same error, anyone solved it yet?
I put down 5-6 indicator, naming them the same, and one of them stays blue. If I mess with its rotation, or just recreate it, then sometimes it turns yellow but another indicator that I havent touched and worked till now stops changing. Pretty annoying...
