[@captainwalker292]

[@JuicedPotato]

Could be wrong, but I think that glowing speck is just a post-processing object. The darkening effect on the camera begins at that object (which is why it's impossible to see anything), and it glows so it's easier to see for development.

Judging from how all the water pulls towards that glowing speck in the vortex I would say that it's probably the "drain" it's probably a glowing orb to make it easier to manipulate for editing.

[@Hadeks_Marow]

I agree with you, however, in game design, that "drain" would be called an "empty", which is short for an "empty object" where it has no physical properties or any properties at all really other than it's vector3 positional data as well as it's child-parent hierarchy and obviously it's name property and class designation (if you even want to call "class" a property, even though "class" is read-only and not something you can change).

i do this all the time with my plane that has detachable bombs. just transform into the plane again for a clean reload. also works for another plane which blows itself up. I can respawn it with the transform and hop in while still in the air.

2 things: Drop a yellow artifact into the vortex, if the orb changes colour then drop a different artifact of the same colour as the orb, rinse and repeat untill something happens If nothing happens when you drop the artifact, then complete the mode by going clockwise from the starting point and then go inside to see if anything has happened

It looks like some sort of explosive to me, so if you activate it by collecting all the artifacts, you may be able to detonate and kill/deter the Vortex and save the world or something like that.

[@steeljawX]

Seeing how the water is pretty much all converging on that glowing orb, it's probably a vertex left over that's a point where the physics and textures of the water for the vortex are hinging around. The point of a lot of 3D artwork isn't to get things absolutely perfect, it's to get it good enough that it's believable. That orb isn't supposed to be seen so the devs probably left it there figuring it'd be fine. Now it's a troll for players to keep jumping into the vortex to try and "get" it.

When in build mode, the lights still work, so use the lights to get a clear view of the object. My thought though is that it is a catalyst for the damaging field around it which is supposed to destroy all blocks and people near it

lights wont effect the blindness effect since its restricting your field of view to nothing. the objects in the center are a pipeline from Sub Zero and a cushion tire from Red Harbor

[@K41-g6p]

i think the answer is kinda obvious from a game design perspective(im currently a student) that vortex is designed like 'Charybdis' the greek sea monster. its there to act as an obstacle in the centre of the map for you to avoid and thus it kills you if you enter it. it makes sense as that whirlpool current if you managed to reach its centre would probably spin your vehicle ridiculously fast, possible sending you flying at high speeds in a way that would break the game, or just be too much to actually run in game, so instead they kill you and force you to respawn to prevent it.
