And just what maps are those? I love time manipulation maps almost as much as time travel maps. I would love to play one of your time maps, Ben.

Wow! That was...uh, yeah. Just, yeah.

I did a science and managed to get at least some of the animation out:

Unfortunately, there's still some motion left. (Changing $color_flow_timeintervalinseconds causes the texture patterns to shift, so it's better to leave that one alone.)

The textures themselves sometimes also contain animations. (I.e. blending between multiple frames.)
Maybe it helps if you replace those with non-animated versions.

Awesome. Tried it and it looks nice. Thanks. :thumbup:

did you ever look at the scripts that came with portal 2?

I didn't. How do I get this script to work?

It looks like it was made before the logic_timescale was created. It contains functions to blend between normal time and slow time when the player enters or leaves a "slow field."

Falsi sumus crusto!

Sorry for not commenting in a long time. Thanks for help! :)
I'll most likely use HMW's static texture, and he'll/she'll be credited, of course. Again thanks.
If I ever encounter some other problems related to my time control maps I'll go back here.

Never released. I was making Back-Stock maps with this mechanic, then felt it didn't fit the portal 2 universe, and started making a HL2 sourcemod where I hard-coded the effect, but I found that I didn't have time to work on that and the other Portal 2 mods I was doing. I think we will end up including time control as a mechanic in back-stock



Also, I made a map just for you! Sunset
