[SP] Sentry Point
Thanks for the tip with water. I've seen objects fizzled away before when hitting water, and never actually noticed any complaints about it, so figured it was okay.
I have already improved my visual skills with blocking for my second level, at least I think.
The button there is used in case you fizzle the beginning cube on the switch, it will stay locked until the given cube is destroyed.
Aigh for the leak there...Hammer editor didn't even point it out, so it must be part of the no draw. It's really frustrating looking around in the editor trying to spot such leaks, thought I had them covered.
I originally had a door in front of the entry elevator...but it opened into a void texture and I had no idea why, perhaps this was the cause?
I haven't played the map, but I should add that you should always dissolve objects when they enter water, so that they respawn. However, so that there's no annoying fizzle sound or effect, it's done slightly differently. Crate a trigger_multiple where your water is, and add this output to it: 'OnTrigger;!activator;SilentDissolve'. This will kill the entity that activated the trigger, I.e., the cube, turret, et cetera, but fire it's OnFizzled output so that cubes can respawn.
Yeah, that's probably better than the !activator;kill method - would kill not cause boxdropper instances to autorespawn?
Great map.
Loved this map!
Just slightly above easy difficulty, in an over-plain room. Both puzzles and visuals need love to make this great, but really not bad for a first map. 3/5 from me.
