Up-Side-Down - Easy

Description
This is my first Portal Community map. Took me a bit of time to create this and even had to learn about logic gates. Trying to get familiar with the in-game editor.
Feedback is very much appreciated, I hope to make harder maps sometime.

Difficulty: Easy


Q: Why are the lasers there?
A: That is the OR logic gate. :) (To independently connect 2 buttons to the same thing. If there is another way to do this, I'm all eyes!) I made it visible behind a window for decorative purposes, since you would still hear the laser sound effects anyway.

A fairly fun chamber. Packs quite a few things to do within a fairly small space, which is nice.

Thanks everybody!

And I completely agree, dmuk! If you did a mistake you should not be required to reset the whole map for it! I actively tested for that even if it started to drive me insane. :D

Good cube transport chamber. Everything there is needed in some way, which means the tester only has to think thru the steps. I like that you can go back if, for instance, you drop a cube...

Fun map.

Yeah, knowing the basic logic gate methods made me think of Minecraft's redstone, heh. I'll check out your mods sometime, but the ones with BEEmod will have to wait as I stay with vanilla Portal 2 for a while. I'll be sure to check those out eventually, thanks!

Thank you, Vatos Locos. The laser and relay is to create an OR gate. You can't connect 2 buttons to the same thing independently; It would mean that you had to press both buttons at the same time if you wanted to change the polarity. Obviously that was not possible here. :)

I decided to have a window to the laser thing purely as decoration (and to give other new map makers an idea in case they stumbled on the same issue as I did). If the laser sound could have been turned off, I would have been more than happy to keep that little room hidden. I just found it weird to have laser sound effects going on and not seeing a laser anywhere.

I have tried BEEmod and think it is interesting. I might eventually venture in that direction, but for now I have uninstalled that mod so I can create vanilla maps until I get bored with its limitations. This map is vanilla. :p2cube:

Good Job!
