as you enter the secconed puzzle, the right throwy thingy dose not let you get on (inviziwall?)

Quote from MissStabby on June 30, 2011, 3:16 am

I dont know exactly what you mean,
I assume you are talking about the deliberate "misalignment" of the portalable panel on the far upper right of the puzzle with the excursionfunnel "in front" of it???

That is part of the puzzle, figure out how you can both get a bomb to the puzzle while standing on a good place to solve it...

Note that the map is focused on logic puzzle solving, so its not required to jugle props or do any midair portal manouvres or anything like that. so, trying to fling those bombs straight from that panel into the excursionfunnel won't get you anywhere....

Ill give a hint if you are stuck:
[spoiler]Chase the bomb through the map![/spoiler]

Note that i do intend to actually modify the end scene (the one with the fadeout to a disconnect) So not a elevator room, but this will be something more typical to rick, ill put it in a later release, currently the puzzle is playable from start to finish, it has lots of triggers to detect and keep players from getting themselves stuck (except when they try to jump down on one of the turret platforms, ill fix that one in a later release). Also the map has incorperated most applicable quotes of Rick.

If youre still stuck, let me know...

Great map, had alot of fun purely because of the concepts. Just a few pointers though.

1) Cube dropper in laser room needs a respawn button. Quite annoying to [spoiler]kill all the turrets again[/spoiler] to get the cube again.
2) Whats with the invisiwalls? I thought they were there to block me, which would have been stupid, should use visable walls/panels to block. But they are as effective as a flyscreen door on a submarine. See pic below.
3) The [spoiler]cube maze puzzle[/spoiler] needs ALOT more explanation. Unless its just me I could not figure it out for the life of me. [spoiler]I got over there using the funnel and dropped down just short of the laser grid[/spoiler] but other then that idk.

[spoiler]The bombs and the sphere. OMG awesome.[/spoiler] Really got map but needs more work

Invisiwalls

Why would you have to kill all the turrets "again" in order to get a new cube???
as soon as the cube is fizzled, it gets respawned.

The invisiwall near the catapult is there to [spoiler]prevent the WCC from getting launched into a fizzler field straight after retrieving it[/spoiler] because it is just done with physics, once every few games that would happen, and it looks quite stupid. That wall is deactivated, then get's activated for 2 seconds after [spoiler]the glass breaks[/spoiler], after wich it gets removed from the game.

The other invisiwall, near the exit is there [spoiler]because the curled up mesh doesnt have a proper collision model[/spoiler]
If you didnt decompile my map, you wouldn't even know they were there...

For the "cube maze"... partial solution:
[spoiler]try getting a bomb to run through the maze while shooting portals from the hardlight walkway, look at the template in the scanner to see the "bomb" being a requirement, the blast of the bomb will push the WCC out of the maze.[/spoiler]

Ok thanks for the last part. I thought i was just me.

The invisiwall doesnt activate/deactivate. its always on. You need to change it to a func_clip_vphysics. a startdisabled won't effect a func_brush.

OMG WTF... that that i didnt notice that... OMG... fixing NAOW!!!

EDIT: Fixed it, it's uploaded and processing, it should be up any moment now.
Thanks btw for noticing me, i didnt know that func_brushes couldn't deactivate.

I actually added that box as one of the last things, because i kept seeing those cubes getting fizzled.
didnt got around testing that part properly though...

I have to say that I loved playing this! Making Rick like Wheatley was just an awesome idea, and you used the default sounds that came with him so well! It was also very fun and different to [spoiler]blow up the turrets with the bombs[/spoiler].

A couple of things you could improve:
When you [spoiler]have to put the bomb through the funnel in the maze[/spoiler] either make a place on the wall to portal back up to the lightbridge so that when you spawn the bomb you can get back up (I had to noclip up there to do it properly) OR make the other button to spawn the bombs sink into the ground and have the button appear from the wall at the end of the lightbridge. If there was an obvious way to do it, I didn't notice it :S

Also too, it took ages for the bomb to [spoiler]float across the room on in the funnel into the maze[/spoiler]. So it might have been better to have the roof (just behind the laser grid thing) to be portable rather than making it [spoiler]float across the room.[/spoiler] If you are to do that then make sure it is obvious with a target or something that you can place a portal on it.

Overall your ambience was fantastic! It was humorous like Portal should be, and you felt rewarded when Rick said things when you [spoiler]blew up the turrets etc.[/spoiler] Love to see more like this, especially exploding things . A 4/5 from me

Woha, that was fun!
But.. The door that lead me to the turret room, can be used only as it open.. If you wait some time before entering it will close and stay close forever.

ChickenMobile, Thanks for you review!
About that point where you had to get the bomb into the maze, its actually pretty simple.
Though it requires some logic!!!

intended solution
[spoiler]you need to jump in through the same portal that you use to get the bomb in the bottom of the funnel, then aim the funnel in the maze and jump off when hovering over the lightbridge[/spoiler]
