The Collection
Hello map makers!

As some of you probably know, I'm building for a long time now a list of the demo/showcase maps I made and I found in the workshop. So I made a collection for all those chambers showing mechanisms useful for map creators and usually hidden to the player. If you think some maps you made could enter this collection and you want me to add it, feel free to ask ;)

For now this guide is only here to promote this collection so that map maker can create better and better test chambers by reusing what they found in the demo maps. If I find time and motivation for that, I will maybe try to explain in detail the mechanisms presents in my own maps.

@kit10tom : Well the idea is to play the map in order to understand how to use the mechanisms in it ^^ I can't describe exactly everything that is in the map with just screenshots and videos, I just designed them so that you can see all the mechanisms while playing them ;)
But I agree that those maps are not really tutorials, they are just some technical help for those who want to exploit a bit more the possibilities of the editor ^^

u should show all the thing you can and/or cannot do in video or screenshots. Not just a picture of the tools.

@linnyluke : As said ddperisic, on the main menu of the game you can select "custom test chambers" to start the map making tool ;)
