that looks really cool, i like the setting of the whole concept. *thumbs up* *downloads*

Side Note/Question: Where you located in WA mazemaster? I'm currently outside of Portland, OR. Always like to find out all the locals

errors I found

First off here are some obvious visual glitches:

(this one was flashing in and out quite badly as you move around it)

Is the gap down the center supposed to be there? And as for the floating polygon, do you have the model the wrong way around?

I noticed you used a trigger_teleport to handle objects that get thrown out to sea. This is an ok system but it needs a few tweaks. First of all it looks a bit strange to see objects spring back to land immediately after they hit the water. There is movement interpolation which makes the teleporting objects look like they are flying really fast. One solution might be to first teleport the objects to a room underneath the map, then teleport them back to the map afterwards. The interpolation would still be there but you wouldn't see it because the objects would come from below.

Also some of the teleport destinations seem a bit badly chosen, one of them was near the hev charger which is a bit out of the way, and another one was near a cliff edge. This resulted in a hilarious loop of barrels getting teleported only to roll back off the cliff into the sea. You can read my tutorial about respawning props hereeven though you might not need to use it in this map.

gods among men are a wonderful thing

I wish it was around before I sent my map to valve

Venemous, you are a god for making that tutorial. Ive been trying to get respawning to work for the longest time.

Glad to be of service :wink:

If it's not working for multiple objects are you sure you have renamed everything right? You also have to add a new output for every object it work on, see the example I have posted in the comments.

TBH your teleport system is probably ok for this map, because it doesn't look too stupid that the stuff respawns at random places. Only use my system for objects that must reappear at their original locations. But maybe tweak the teleport system a bit like I suggested :wink: .

Bangin', are there swarms of leeches in the water? D:

if you go too far ou tthey come out of no where and eat you alive.

omg its mazemaster

Thanks to everyone who helped with beta testing, advice, etc, and a big thanks to Juim for hosting the playtest.

Went to the Bellevue post office and dropped it off today - the guy there exclaimed "hey this is right here" and he went and put the package in the Valve P.O. box as I waited.

Good job, adding a new mirror.
