@@kracerplayz4033 it's unfortunately not possible due to the way that level transitions in Portal 2 work. While at the most fundamental level, the transitions technically work the same (keeping over objects and properties of the player, this is why crouch fly glitch preserve works), there is a layer of abstraction built on top (the level transition boxes) which effectively makes it impossible. If you brought a cube into a Portal 2 elevator, the level transition would teleport you to the box with no cube, and then you would transition maps in the box, and then at the start of the next map the box would teleport you into the starting elevator, cubeless.

The cube droppers have that small untextured room above them because the cube droppers use env_entity_maker entities to spawn cubes. These reference one or more entities placed in a map via a point_template entity and will spawn them when triggered by map logic. That room is used to store the template cube and point_template entities, as entities cannot be placed out of bounds. Why the template cube still exists in the map at runtime I do not know, as there _is_ a setting in point_template to remove template entities when the map loads.

[@MaskedDeath_]

It's always funny to me how the Portal speedrun community uses the fancy name "quantum crouch", while a GMod community I played in just went with "headglitch". From the names you might not figure it out, but it is indeed the same thing, just discovered separately by two different communities, and with different use cases (in a FPS it's an obvious advantage if you can see and shoot from behind cover while your model is fully hidden). And then in CSGO people call having only your head visible "headglitch", where it's not even a glitch, just a result of shooting from your camera in Source games.

Hammer user here- the reason why there is a cube above the dropper is for a "template" basically whenever a cube either drops or is respawned, it copies that template and puts it there, so it always knows what to put there. The reason that it's on top of the dropper is so that map is organized. And the reason for only one being in a test chamber is probably because it's either somewhere else, or there's another dropper in the level and it just uses that one.

[@hansonkerman7286]

the mysterious untextured cube room is actually the most important part of making cube vents work! you see, among other things, droppers drop cubes. to do that, you need a cube. to do this, you use the entity *env_entity_maker*, an entity that makes other entities. however, env_entity_maker cannot point to a specific entity for reasons that elude my understanding. it needs to duplicate a *point_template*. point_template is an entity which can be configured to look at a specific entity (in this case, one specific cube). env_entity_maker calls up point_template and takes the template to make a cube. so! to summarize! you enter a *trigger* to trigger the entity maker. the entity maker uses the template (which is pointed at a cube) to make a cube, which appears in the vent for you to use. (and the cube is in a nodraw room because entities cannot exist in the void.)

You should be able to get more cubes than that. Because of how the Source engine works, a character’s voice lines can not play if they aren’t in the room. That means GlaDOS’s lines shouldn’t be able to play since she’s not in the room. To fix this, the devs put a cube somewhere out of bounds on every level named AI something and tell the game that that cube is GlaDOS. Theoretically, since you can go out of bounds, you may be able to find that cube and take it.

[@DrPeeper]

5:17 the cube not existing is the default setting for the point_template entity, so the times that the cubes do exist is when the devs explicitly made it that way Oh and the rooms are actually useless and not using them by placing the point_template + template cube inside the dropper which will also cut down on needed logic, that is precisely what Portal 2 does and why it doesn't have the rooms

"I have no idea why it's here" I have a guess. So Source is kinda weird when it comes to spawning objects. When you create an object in Hammer a bunch of stuff gets set correctly but when you spawn a new entity from a spawner a bunch of stuff can go wrong. The extra cube may be cloned to avoid having to deal with that.

[@Lanthardol]

Speaking of precise glitches, I seem to have discovered one with KZbin mobile, apparently if you tap the screen at the right moment while it rotates out of horizontal and into vertical. The overlay gets messed up and is outside the bounds of the video display. (Edit: not even sure if it’s from tapping the screen when rotating display, something just got messed up at some point, and I can’t recreate it) This will last when it automatically moves to the next video or when you click on a new video. It also lasts through a soft closing of the app (which makes sense, it’s just moving it to the background but it hasn’t actually closed). It lasts if you go watch a short and then come back to videos. The only thing that resets the video overlay back to what it should be is a hard closing of the app and reopening it.

[@XeZrunner]

If I'm not mistaken, this is HDR post processing ignoring the pixels where a "nodraw" texture is used. Since those values are being ignored, the old values stack on top of each other. In DirectX 8 (without HDR) or if gl_clear / gl_randomcolors are set, frames will always start with some color, so you don't see this effect. There's certainly more detail to this than I know, as the cube doesn't literally leave a trail behind - it's just the HDR processing. There's a variant of this where everything leaves a trail, especially in maps with leaks. The game also seems to be controlling this somewhat, as the effect seems to intentionally disappear when out of bounds (probably for development purposes with noclip).

The title is a lie!

[@CSharpDCS]

You never know when a youtube video about collecting every cube in portal is a lie.

One thing that i love about speedrunnung is how advanced and well developed somebody's love and knowledge for a game is. and with this for fun sub-category is a perfect example of some creativity and technical knowledge. I do speedruns for fun myself, despite my mediocre times I get i still have fun and get to meet some awesome people who share the same intrest as we along the way!

I want to see Msushi do a completely normal playthrough with commentary

[@dylans5709]

This looks so funny. Imagine this with the context shut up and put the companion cubes in the portal 11:37 good video

[@Imaproshaman7]

This is so interesting. I love how many weird categories this game has. It's pretty neat.

[@NatalieExists]

ok most of the time these videos feel like interesting info presented with a bit of comedy added to it, but this video is just one of the funniest things ive seen in a long time. specifically 15:22 made me giggle to myself for way too long, its amazing

This has to be my favourite speedrun I respect the tedium you had to go through to preserve the cube gang And two companion cubes united! 👀

[@Mxolqi]

Oh yeah I did that once. Was really fun. Didnt know it was a speedrun though xD

[@Mxolqi]

Ok I didnt get 24 cubes. That extra cube was a jumpscare

[@mopishlynx2323]

One reason i really hope a Portal 3 happens is just to see speedrunners pick it apart to *this extent*
