[SP] Quick Draw

Page 1 of 3Next

Hey guys, its been a while since I released a map, so here it is! This map was made in a week, and it consists of two chambers. Special thanks to my friend (iStarStruck) for designing Chamber 1! Chamber 2 was designed by me, and both chambers were made by me. This map was purely made in Hammer. :)

Note: This map is not part of the JFTC series, its just a stand-alone map.
Note 2: If you don't really care about the test chamber sign, ignore the "scripts" folder.

Difficulty: Medium
Size: Medium
Theme: Clean, Behind the Scenes

Testing elements present:
-Laser Field
-Angled panel
-90? panel
-Excursion Funnel (polarity change)
-Repulsion Gel
-Propulsion Gel
-Thermal Discouragement Beam (and its receptacle)
-Discouragement Redirection Cube
-Fizzlers
-Basic elements (cubes, buttons, switches...etc)

Remember to rate it and comment about what you think about it! Blindruns are much appreciated, they help me alot! :D

Changelog:
v1.0-v1.1
-Fixed unintended solutions
--Made Chamber 2 larger
--Reduced white surfaces on the room in Chamber 2
-Included an "angled wall version" of the map for players who are having problems with the angled panel (such as bmail)

Found 2 unintended solutions in the 2nd chamber:

Didn't used gel at all.

You can solve this by only activating the light bridge and the throwing the cube into funnel.

1. Can you enter the funnel to get to the other side? I placed player clip behind the ramp all the way to the funnel. Can you still get to the other side?
2. Uhh...not sure how to fix that.
Thanks though, for letting me know the unintended solutions.

Yeah,I still somehow managed to get to other side.
And there is also another way:

Place a portal here and jump from the button into the funnel.

Yeah, as Bluntman points out, a little cube-tossing ability allows you to bypass much of the puzzles, especially in chamber two; I didn't use two of the three buttons on the other side of the fizzler in chamber two. Making the rooms bigger and moving the funnels away from the player might help.

Yeah, okay, will go fix that in the next version.

Hmm? Okay, I'll remove the white panel in the next version.

Uhh...besides the unintended solutions...is there anything else you would like to say...?

Excellent. I especially like the first room, which was very tricky to get out of and the solution to that room - although I figured out "how" took me many attempts to get it within the time alloted.

Thanks! Glad you liked it :)

Excellent puzzles in two rooms, the solutions were medium, but the execution took a bit of trying especially in room 1. Thanks for creating.
