Portal 2 Hammer Tutorial for Beginners | Part 2

[@BigMan-hd7gy]

For anyone struggling with the arch because it’s selecting each piece individually, make sure you have the ‘group’ button toggled in the top right, if it isn’t in the top right it should be somewhere on the bar with the texture and entity selections. Hope this helps!

[@danielowen2633]

For anyone who is having trouble rotating objects to precise angles like him: go to tools > options > 2d views > default to 15 degree rotations I had to figure this out myself and I want to help anyone else who is having problems with this

[@BowmakerFox]

I love how literally nobody, myself included, wants to make the arch around the door. It seems to be a bit of a shared opinion.

[@tarentino3269]

It's annoying af

[@TheRantingCabbie]

There's a way to do it one time only and use it again. I made a brush 128X128X32 and use a 32 sided cylinder to carve out the opening. Texture it, make sure it's func_detail and save it as a prefab.

What a great and detailed tutorial! Thank you!!

[@cheezkid2689]

Odd thing: When I run the map, nothing opens. I have to either have Portal 2 already open or manually open Portal 2 and run the map in the console by typing "map {MAP NAME HERE}". It's not a huge deal, but I'm just wondering if anyone knows why it's like this.

[@PieCat]

try selecting wait for keypress in the run map thing

[@nicgraylin7693]

Same, thats rlly wierd

[@RECHARGED77]

Try using expert mode when running the map. Literally press expert and press Go!

You may have a leak.

when i ran the map it stopped in the middle of loading and it said that the thing ruining the map was "not working properly" can you help me

[@tobeh_kko121]

Very helpful. I subscribe :)

[@DavidRay_40]

I'm really trying hard to do it the way you're doing it here (with some minor changes so it doesn't look 100% like yours), but I'm still having trouble with it. The door isn't pasting where I want it. Some walls and part of the ceiling are missing. I accidentally made part of a wall slanted and I have no idea how to fix it. I don't k know how to add things like goo (the deadly water stuff) or how to connect buttons to doors. I haven't watched this entire video yet, nor the rest of this series, but I hope you get into that particular detail. I want my test chamber to be unique. I may have to get help from my brother, who designs puzzle boxes. He even made one that was solved by Charles Ramsey here on KZbin. Although he may not know how to use the hammer editor, he's pretty good at getting the hang of things like this.

[@Uzedrname]

My wall texture ( tile/white_wall_tile001a ) isnt showing up in-game. the walls work, but the texture is just black. I'm also having trouble selecting the entire arch in mp_coop_doors.

[@EASsirenVids01]

Whenever I try to run the map with the door, it says "Prop Weighted Cube Leaked". And doesn't load.

[@tobeh_kko121]

That probably means there's a leak in the level. Go into the menu thingamajig at the top that says map (next to edit and before view). Drop down to load pointfile and it will load a different version of your map with a red line that shows how the level has leaked, if you dont know what the hell leaks are and I'm talking to a brick wall go here: developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Leak

Hey, I got everything working apart from one thing, the lighting. For some reason, it doesn't work but I can run the map. Could you help, please?

Make sure the object is called light. Otherwise, it won't work so don't use light_envirmental or other light name just light

[@PstrywBerryVids]

In my chamber I'm trying to get a pedestal button to make a dropper drop a cube but I don't know what to put into "via this input", could somebody help me out with this? Side question; how do I put a cube into the dropper?

[@loomin116]

cliked on run and nothing happened,restarted hammer and still nothing? any tips?

[@AcaciaDeveloper]

It may be that Hammer hasn't automatically set up the proper executables to compile the map. That's if you're literally pressing run and absolutely nothing is happening. Go to: Tools > Options. Check the Game Configurations tab. This is what I have: Game Data Files: $SteamUserDir\Portal 2\bin\portal2.fdg Game Executable Directory: $SteamUserDir\Portal 2 Game Directory: $SteamUserDir\Portal 2\portal2 Hammer VMF Directory: $SteamUserDir\Portal 2\sdk_content\maps Prefab Dir: $SteamUserDir\Portal 2\bin\Prefabs If that's alright, then check the Build Programs tab (this is the most likely culprit). This is what I have: Configuration: Portal 2 Game Executable: $SteamUserDir\Portal 2 BSP Executable: $SteamUserDir\Portal 2\bin\vbsp.exe VIS Executable: $SteamUserDir\Portal 2\bin\vvis.exe RAD Executable: $SteamUserDir\Portal 2\bin\vrad.exe Place maps in directory before running game: $SteamUserDir\Portal 2\portal2\maps

When I CTRL + S on the door, it just saves, please help. I also tried CTRL + Click, that didn't work either. I'm asking, how do I select the arch? ( 10:26 )

[@davidgamingremastered6784]

Left click on it, end hit Del/Delete button. Or Right click and choose delete.

open dev console and type map "your map name"

[@frakanazz]

when i select the arch to retexture it, it select the whole thing eventually removing the "nodraw" texture, does anyone know how to prevent that from happening ?

[@_ThatRandomGuy_]

The brick with 3 colours on it (above the texture button) is a face selector which can be used to only select the front
