How to Create Custom Elements in Portal 2 Puzzle Editor

Показать описание

In this tutorial I show how to add custom elements in your Puzzlemaker maps in Portal 2, so you can work around Puzzlemaker limitations while still continuing to use it for designing and editing your map, without having to switch all the way to Hammer. Click "show more", below, to read more of what I wrote here.

Closed captions are available!

The Hammer hotkeys that I used were:
- shift-C go to move-camera mode
- shift-S go to select-object mode
- shift-B go to create-solid-block mode
- shift-A go to apply-texture mode
- shift-V go to vertex-adjustment mode
- H hide object
- U unhide object
- alt-F go to File menu

You may notice there is desktop recording going on in this video. This was made with the new computer that I have the Patreon campaign going on for, to finance it. It took me 10 hours to make this video from start to end. Before, it would have been impossible for me to make this video, and those parts that were possible, would have taken me days. Thank you everyone who will make this have been possible.

Always wondered how that worked. But never was interested enough to look into it.

gotta be honest after you start talking about replacing an item in the map editor i had no idea what you were doing

The title is kind of confusing. What you did is replacing the light panel .vmf map by another one on the scripts.
It's true that is more convenient than going to PeTI then switch to Hammer, but it's technically the same as doing prefabs, it's just more convenient.
However, the video is great, well-explained.

Your voice is a mix between G-Man and Stanley Parable Narrator, also thx so much for the video

When i'm done some of the assets on puzzlemaker are non textured and if i try to put the custom element in the map it says "There was an error while building the puzzle"

how to i replace the Circle button/pressure plate? it is a sub type so it is more complicated to replace, then say, the light strip.

Is there any way I can download custom elements from anywhere?
Found a test that I think even had custom glados speech?
This seems too complicated for my tiny brain to create any elements
