Caged Turret Experiment

Description
This is an experiment based around an idea found in one of the advanced chambers in portal 1.

No no- wait- don't go away! The advanced chambers are not good logic-puzzle design over all, I agree. That's why I only took inspiration from one of the ideas.

You can likely guess from the name, but this puzzle is a proof of concept for the element of a turret in a cage.
I'm not sure if the way I solved the portal 1 test is what was intended, since someone said they didn't need to stack cubes in-front of the turrets, but it's what I did, and I thought it would be interesting to see what sorts of puzzles could be built around that.

This is but one idea of what a test chamber themed around this idea might look like, feel free to borrow the idea for your own tests. But be sure to introduce the idea clearly, as shown in the first room.

Feedback, especially in-depth, is aprecieated. Try to remember, this is largely a proof of concept. I did put a lot of thought into the main puzzle though (didnt plan to at first lol

After installing beemod it is indeed gone.

@derPacifist Possibly. I'm glad it wasn't anything major tho.
Beemod is generally worth using even without doing anything fancy with it, so it would be worth looking into.
Only drawback is there is the occasional thing that isn't fully function for non-beemod users, but the vast majority of it is fine, including the custom test elements.

Stick to the "improved original clean" or whatever it's called and you probably won't run into any errors at all.
Use the portal 1 style and all non-beemod users are completely screwed XD

@WaifuLover69 No worries, there were turrets. One error was in the laser field in front of the portal surface. Do I need to download the mod to show these models?

@derPacifist, where were the error messages? Was it the turrets in the cages?
Or somewhere else?
I'm using Beemod, so there's probably a couple elements that didn't have models in the base game (and aren't packed in with levels for whatever reason, stupid beemod being amazing but having some annoying things like that)

Solid puzzle! There are error messages floating around, but it works.
