Edit the instance and remove the script that calls the giving of the portalgun. Done.

Do you mean the script inside the "arrival_departure_transition_ents.vmf" instance?

I tried deleting that script and when I loaded the map, there was nothing but the crosshairs and darkness. Can you help me? Do I need to copy and edit the actual transition script?

I solved it by deleting the outputs in the logic_auto in my arrival_departure_transition_ents.vmf.
Originally, the outputs were:
OnMapSpawn -> command -> Command -> give_portalgun -> 0.00
OnMapSpawn -> command -> Command -> upgrade_portalgun -> 0.10
Deleting both of the outputs will result in the player not having the portal gun, while deleting only the "upgrade_portalgun" output will result in the player having only a single-portal variant portal gun (Portal gun that can only shoot blue portals)

To be clear you said that you opened up the arrival_departure_transition_ents.vmf and then modified a logic_auto... well I don't see a logic_auto so what am I supposed to do!?

You have 3 main "rooms" into the instance; check into the thinnest one, there several logic_relays and logic_autos. Look into their outputs tab.

Sorry, I forget to mention that my arrival_departure_transition_ents.vmf is from "Good Enough for Science" map. It comes with the vmf.

Or just use Brainstone's elevator instances. I just that now. :)

just cover the starting elevator with a weapon strip, with the kill weapon option checked.... dont mess with instances, they generally shouldn't be changed



Also, I made a map just for you! Sunset

That doesn't really matters... I assure you those outputs are there into the stock instances as well :thumbup:

Can't you just copy the instances and edit them with the custom transition script?

Should I be concerned there aren't any logic_autos?

I don't have a logic_auto in there either. All hope is lost!
