Forum | Thinking With Portals

It's a series of giga-rooms with plain, almost entirely metal texturing. Some of the puzzles are a little shifty

Spoiler

(placing the laser entry portal off-center, firing a portal at just the right time so that the conversion gel that was just placed does not get covered by the repulsion gel)

, and the glass and light bridges are not properly framed. This has the potential to be a very good map, it just needs some more work.

Try out Twin Pillars, a Portal 2 map by BOB74j.

I enjoyed your map. Interesting use of the light bridges. Good Job

solved all three rooms, now what? the diagonal light bridges disappear when I tried to land on them.

Ditto. Plus, what good is the double bridge across the room? I had it all slathered up with gel, thinking I would bounce up and out from it. As soon as I leave the gel room, it disappears.

Spoiler

I also thought that bouncing off the wall might throw me up through the fizzlers,

but in many, many tries, I've never even touched them.

Well, how did you get into each of the 3 rooms?

Spoiler

Maybe a similar tactic would work here....

I put blue gel on the fourth wall (the one without an opening) and flung myself at it.

It bounces me halfway across the room, and then into the base of the double lightbridge (which bounces me, too.) I have never reached the fizzler, because my portals never vanish. If I fling myself directly at the double lightbridge, I don't bounce off it, I just end up standing on its base.

hmm

Spoiler

I flung myself at the gel on the wall and got up on the first try...

Just want back and did it again to be sure..

Spoiler

Maybe you didn't get enough gel on the wall?

Is this supposed to happen?

Heh.. same thing happened to me

I'm playing custom maps and record my first time of playing them. So the run is not perfect and may not use only intended ways, but maybe it can let you see how other people may understand the map or you could just enjoy someone playing this map for entertainment.
Anyways, here is the recording:
