Portal Design (4) Box delivery system malfunction
Posted by James on May 6, 2011 · 25 Comments
Sorry, I was listening to radio while testing my map. Well, I got to make a new sketch about the multi-box delivery system that, as you can see, doesn’t work. At all. In Portal, the delivery system only delivers ONE box. Mine is supposed to deliver multiple. That’s why it’s hard.

Now you are thinking with box droppers! XD
lol fatal bazooka
This happens in Portal Playground v2.
@LoadedWingshot Yea but still its been done but several updates went and fucked it up so then people were trying to figure out a way to recode it but still hasn’t happened yet…. and believe me if it was as easy to do it the way you put it many would have already done it… so yea
@minnimopper exactly, so you would need to make a lua script for the portal gun wouldn’t you?
@LoadedWingshot your a retard…. gmod works with lua weapons… you cant just throw in the fucking files from portal and expect it to happen you moron
@112peanut its simple, but may be only done in single player (mixing files>>>portal gun files into garrysmod weapon files)
you bitched it lol
Hehe. I can see the malfunctioning box delivery in a map. Your going through, and it tries to deliver one, ends up delivering tons of them, and exploding 😀
@ianboswell or simply use a math_counter…
lol XD
WHY AM I LAUGHING
Now we know what happened to the box delivery system in the test room with all the turrets XD
O_o
hey creater of portal prelude used this
at 0:40 it was a gun
Oh god. David Guetta.
Why not use two dilevry systems?
You can make it work however you want to, though. There’s no need to be afraid of messing with triggers and math counters.
Just remember that the output should be to 1: close the door’s animation and 2: actually make the invisible brush where the door is solid.
If 1 box falls then it adds to 1 making 2 disabling the trigger and dropping a second box.
If 1 box is deleted it re-enables the trigger checking for the box and dropping a box. If the box isn’t there to set it off then 2 drop.
i saw this one level you press it once it drops a box then press it agin drops another thn press again it clears them both
i don’t understand what im trying to say here lol
doesn’t really work like that
solution might be to have a trigger that closes the doors only when x number of cubes have fallen out of it. Though that system, itself, has its fair share of potential problems. I’m glad to see you were able to work it out.
Check the Vaulve Developer Community. (Theres a link to it on the opening of Source SDK. Also check the ThinkingWithPortals wiki for more help.
yeah it is though to do the portal gun on all the maps if you’ve ever transfered construct map series and go on it on portal you easy fall though the ground
