[SP] Distractions

My first map. You're in a single room with the exit behind three lasers attached to three buttons. Three weighted cubes, three buttons, but each puzzle isn't what it seems to be.

Hey guys, let me know what you thought of the map. Was it difficult?

I gave up on the map, and i usually never do that.
In other words, yes, yes it was hard.

(was it on purpose that the redirection cube in the glass box didn't hit the laser-receiver?)

This.

Also, there was an old saying about not playing dumb because someone won't get you're joking. A map with bad looks, a misaligned laser and that dark pit just looks unfinishedbugged. So far, so bad.

the hills are alive... with the sound of music

It looks ugly and I am not sure if few things are working as intended. You have to work on your map a while longer than that.

The truth is written all over our faces.

Finally got it! Awesome map, I like the difficulty. Everything is absolutely working fine (I guess). Only thing that I can really "complain" about is the "hole" beside the blue gel, thats just not beautiful.

And maybe a better ending, at least tell me I'm done and don't just put me back to main menu :)

Summing it up: Very nice map,

Spoiler
very tricky map. Had to remember the name before I got the clue =)

As always its recorded, gonna repost when its uploaded (probably next week)

edit: One more thing to mention, cos I see it now (while rendering): The map was pretty loud.. The beginning was okay, but then it became loud and stayed loud. Maybe you can lower that
And a bug: I still heard the lasers at the door, when I already turned off all of them. Script bug maybe? Make it laser.onTurnOff="laser.soundOff" or anything like that (im not a mapmaker, i dont know how exactly its working)

Awesome map :)

I love tricky puzzles! This one still took me about 15 minutes. I won't even put a spoiler here.

Excellent work!

P.S: @Kibate & @xdiesp: yes; it's on purpose. You can fix it. Sorta.

Portal 2 Engineer - A map designed to make you think.

I'm sorry, but i've tried everything
first i tried everything without cheats whatsoever
i found a portable place outside, however there is nothing.
I was able to find a spot where i can jump down to the bottom of the map, nothing there either
i got 2 redirection cubes and one normal cube, nothing there
i was able to hit the laser-receiver with the other lasers and the redirection cubes, nothing happened too

then i tried Noclip cheat and pressed the button to get another cube, nothing do with it, then got the other cube, nothing to gain from that either, was able to place a portal on the blue gel, nothing for that too, got to the place behind the glass, nothing there either and i even tried to move the redirection cube in the glassbox, nothing

WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS MAP?!

If it is the goal to fall in the hole, then that's one of the dumbest maps i ever saw

Thanks for the comments guys! I will definitely learn how to make the sound lower and make the hole prettier, I totally agree with that. I'm glad some found it difficult but solvable, that's what my goal was. Obviously I tried to fill it with misleads for how the puzzle should be solved. I'll give a hint in the spoiler.

Spoiler
don't turn off the final laser, use it
. Thanks again!

Not sure if I solved this right, but given the title maybe I did...

Spoiler
I put a portal on the bent plate next to the third laser then put the other portal behind the grate in the main room and used a redirection cube to (just barely) touch the receptacle in the center of the room from the 2nd laser. Which made most of the room completely not necessary, hence why I'm unsure if I did it right, but due to the title I might have..

Also if you accidentally knock a cube off the edge you can jump down after it, land on the floor and walk around out there.
