Seperate Spawn Locations
Hello anyone who is reading this,
Recently I have been messing around with the Portal 2 authoring tools and I must say it is quite fun. But to cut right to the chase, I am curious as to whether or not it is possible to achieve separate spawn locations for the each player participating in coop.
I have certainly read http://wiki.p2mods.com/index.php?title= ... he_players many times and it has been helpful even though it mentions only one spawn room. As well, I am aware of the instance but again that is just one spawn room. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated or if it isn't even feasible and I am just wasting my time, that would be good to know as well.
Thank you for any possible help!
This is certainly possible.
However, it is generally a sign of a map where the players are put in to separate tracks where they can't directly interact or switch places. This tends to make for frustrating maps that are very constricting and I would encourage you to consider just having two paths diverge from a common spawn room so that they players can at least swap tracks.
I can certainly see your point in how that would be frustrating and not very fun. After all coop play is meant to be an interaction between the two players.
Although what I have in mind wont be nearly as frustrating or aggravating as you may think. I know I am speaking cryptically and I apologize for that. I just do not want to prematurely throw my idea out without actually building a proper map, testing it, seeing if it is actually viable and, most of all, fun!
Again I apologize and thank you for your post! It was certainly something I had considered before, and it may certainly end up like that if I cannot get these spawn points to work!
