[SP] Power Interference

Ah, i see how you guys managed to do it without the cube. I'm going to have to fix that! Very clever, though... i'll probably turn the grates into a hole with glass instead, so the funnel can't go through.

The funnel can't go through, can it?

Spoiler
I tried to use the funnel through the grate to move the cube first, but it didn't work.

Funnel didnt come through for me.I tried it lol.I pointed the laser through 2 portals.Just make that grated area big enough for one portal

Oh. I just assumed. I understand now

I think I found the intended solution. I first tried blocking the laser with the weighted cube and moving it but then I saw how it was intended to be solved. The little block on the roof near the laser worked as a good hint.

I did enjoy the puzzle, but there were some things to fix. Missaligned textures in many spots and the faith plate is pointing at wrong direction. That last one caused me to die once.

Here is my blind playthrough.

Good job but I still can't give this more than 3/5. I hope I see more maps from you.

That sure is a nice map you got there. It would be a shame if someone broke it.

I used the same method as andyb did in his video. I guess therefore, you would want to make the wall behind the mesh only wide enough for 1 portal. However, if you did, I was also able to

Spoiler
redirect the beam into a portal behind the mesh, and then put a portal on the floor sideways and have the beam come out of it upwards but on an angle and hit the laser pick up.

Decent room..fairly easy.. an indication that you have solved, or at the end would be nice... 4/5 fpor the effort but prolly should be in WIP

Few suggestions:
* Add elevators
* Use my death fizzler: Lp's Fizzlers
* Rotate the faith plate
* Add light behind the grating
* Change the grating so it makes sense the funnel can't pass through it.
* Make the surface between the grating a bit smaller so you can't use that to surpass a part of the pzzle. I think 128x128x128 will do.

I think that one grating would be good enough, and that one grating could be the part with the hole in the glass. Just my two cents.

Ip, I actually just finished adding elevators, your death fizzler, moving the faith plate, adding the light, and fixing the unintended solution. Guess I'm on the right track. I'll fix the grates now. v1.1 will be released shortly.

I recorded my blind playthrough for you. Now that I've seen others' playthroughs, I see I missed a use for the cube. I edited out all the time I wasted trying to find a purpose for it. I have no comments beyond what has already been said. It should have taken a lap around the WIP track first. 2/5.
