[WIP] [WIP] Entrapment 1.1.1

PreviousPage 2 of 3Next

Updated the map file with a newer version.

v1.1 Additions
==============
Changes to floor portal pads to increase size and improve portal placement ability.
Added sign decals to indicate steps of puzzle.
Changed cube location.
Slight modifications to one of the puzzle steps.
Added panel animations.
Added sign indicators to help show progression in puzzle.

Getting tired of this chamber though, next version will have second chamber in it that uses more elements.

Feedback is greatly appreciated :)

Walking when you have a portal gun sucks.

How do you solve it now, with just one cube?

There is a sequence to follow, you'll find the cube soon enough ;)

Hint:

Spoiler
Place cube you see on round button, and look around.

Spoiler
So you moved the trigger for the hidden cube to the floor button next to the exit?

Spoiler
Yeah it didn't work on the cube box button and only works well to open on button press, not release.

I guess you missed the post in the thread we shamelessly hijacked yesterday. Basically you OnPressed and OnUnpressed on the cube_floor_button were reversed. When I put the right outputs on the right triggers the

Spoiler
hidden door worked fine.

Also, I couldn't be bothered trying to solve

Spoiler
the laser thing
because I was a little bit annoyed by having to portal through the floor tile on the right, out of the one above the door, into the one beneath the door, out of the one above the door and so on every time I need to get to the other side of the room. And then having to reset the
Spoiler
excursion funnel so the laser room opens again.

Maybe if one or both of the pits had some stairs, but I'm not sure whether this would detract from any of the puzzle elements.

Finished it ;) Definitely not too easy.

I'm not sure if I solved it as you intended, but here's what I did and tell me if I did it right.

Spoiler
For the part where you need to use your fling momentum to grab the cube, instead of having the reflexes of Chuck Norris and whipping over and somehow placing my portal under the plate, I slowly crouched through the bottom of the one portal, and perched on the side of it. Then, simultaneously I jumped and placed my other portal on the ground to the right. For the part with the lasers, I shot one diagonally through the hole in the side, then I redirected it towards the laser receiver. Getting this part right was the hardest part I think. Next I stood on the third laser prism so that it would redirect down.

:notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

A very excellent map and I'm looking forward to the next chamber.

Welcome! Thanks for the feedback.

Spoiler
The flinging method is the same one I use in testing, theres a few alternative ways to fling, the most important part is you cannot put a portal below the cube and jump from the main platform and reach it, that was my most important requirement.

Same goes for the lasers, you can put the boxes inside of the secret room, therefore the beam won't get broken when the door shuts.

eviloatmeal, there are a few ways to complete the puzzle, some which are more efficient than others. I like to see it as, you know how to complete the puzzle, but if you think hard you can work out how to complete it in the least steps.

Spoiler
If you put a portal on the floor below button in air, and then shoot the one above door (jump shot), you can run and jump through the floor one and if done correctly, land on the middle platform (that has the white tile texture).

I'm back at work tomorrow so I won't have much time to work on map, but I have a few ideas of what to make :)
