WIP Traps - Requests
Exit Elevator is a trap, but not a death trap. It's giving the player the "not out of the woods yet" feeling.
The "Surprise" is avoidable. The Companion Cube is there not just for a shocking surprise, but also can be used as a shield. I've done this on experiment maps I've made before the 2011 Contest.
EDIT: Yeah traps are fine. as long as they are avoidable/beatable. The "surprise" factor is only funny/surprising "once." and most likely frustrating more than fun. Employing a trap is cool, but the player needs atleast SOME way (however slim) to "beat" it
I agree with you will the acid pits, I'll change it to a rising acid pit. And as I mentioned before, the "Surprise" is beatable.

Yea I know. I was playing a map a while back from my aperture labs and there was an elevator that Kept taking off to fast and it was pissing me off really bad. Then I realized your suppose to fall in it cuz there is a exit

I know I mentioned this earlier, but not all of the traps I'm including are death traps. Some traps take you to different areas. I'm making every "transportation" trap simple so the player won't get confused about where to go next.

You can use some gravity forces or world portals illusion laberinth 
I don't want to make things too complicated, but perhaps I'll try that with a different map

Like the idea:)
Any chamber with gravity changes or World portals that change your gravity is just confusing. I say just keeping to regular traps/"get out of there quickly before you die" events are probably the way to go. Plus this will work with the theme of the map.
That was what I was thinking. I also have a "Space Station" map that's been on hold also. Maybe I'll use the gravity thing for that map.
Edit: Kinda of topic, anyone else think about an outer space level?
