Your best mapping gotchas/errors
I'll start immediately : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XAn-LvTuf0
I screwed up the outputs on my customizable box droppers so that, for a while, whenever a cube fell out of the dropper it would receive the "dissolve-because-a-new-cube-was-dropped" input instead of the "start-functioning" input. Hilarity ensued.
Once, I was experiencing some issues with a info sign. For whatever reason, it was a nodraw surface instead of an info sign. I simply couldn't figure it what was going wrong...
...it was facing backwards.
Spending ages trying to fix a valve instance, keep compiling and it just wouldn't work...
... turned out I saved it under a different name and forgot to change the path...
My first map had a chamber composed of func_details but stuff like the door frames were world brushes.
When I was watching the video, the amount of glass balls started to scare me.
What did you do? I would dearly love to stick a malfunctioning futbol dispenser in a side room as a little WTF-ery for the player to find.
It looks like it's pushing the futbols out when they spawn, maybe using an env_entity_maker, causing them to break immediately, which gets a new one spawned.
Hmmm. Maybe it's triggering itself on the OnFutbolSpawn output...?
Attempting to replicate Wheatley's OnPlayerPickup behavior without using npc_personality_sphere, I have encountered a really interesting aspect of phys_keepupright.
If you give it a very high Angular Limit and apply it to an item that is being held by the player, it builds up a boatload of angular momentum trying to break free. When you let go, it applies all that momentum at once.
I wonder if I can find a use for this?
