Okay thanks appreciate it. Will try and find that soon.

I meant there is one called smaller pedestal, or something well the editor icon is 3 of them lined up, for BEE2 a little bit of hacking into instances, a bit of JavaScript-style inline bunching, that's it, I done one on BEE2 before its fizzler fizzing out the game compiler, then I moved away and done one in plain Hammer that need none of that but some raw BSP manipulation. I'll help just drop me a line when you need.

You could even help with it if you want up to you.
RazorLaser  [author] 2 Jun, 2021 @ 2:27am 
Okay thanks. I guess they witnessed trapping situations on your maps sometimes then. You can just use the funnel to get out of it on this map. Yeah because it’s weird I know I didn’t think they would do that but you get trapped on the platforms sometimes I don’t know why it’s weird. Yes good to know. Thanks.

Okay thanks for the information. There already are pedestal buttons on timers or maybe you are talking about a slightly different one in BEE2 I will see if I can find it and have a look later. Thanks.

That is rather easy for me to do given @sheepdog and others like @bullfrog already witnessed me to do on my maps, go check my recent maps I can do it either in Hammer or BEE2. You need a pedestal button delegated to do this, there is a sideline kind BEE2 gave you.
RazorLaser  [author] 2 Jun, 2021 @ 12:24am 
I find it hard knowing what to do to prevent traps. I guess you got trapped behind the custom death fizzlers because you went behind it without portalling the funnel so you could go up which is not the solution. Your meant to go up with a Portal already on the funnel and then place the other portal to go up but anyway. Yeah I get that. Not sure what to do to prevent it though. I might think of something I don’t think I can still edit it though I might be able to I will see. Reloading is okay but not the best yeah thanks.
RazorLaser  [author] 2 Jun, 2021 @ 12:10am 
Yeah I know about that don’t worry. Yes you can get stuck on the platforms I didn’t realise that. You can get out by using the funnel though. I understand that. Some ways which are unintended are intended also :steamhappy:
Andy T 1 Jun, 2021 @ 8:28pm 
So many traps that can corner players into a cul-de-sac in the advanced portion although it's still quite easy, and felt like I ran it slightly unintended since I have to quick reload constantly..

Thanks

sub'd will play soon!:p2chell:
RazorLaser  [author] 23 Feb, 2021 @ 9:19am 
Actually the workshop seems to work again now.
RazorLaser  [author] 23 Feb, 2021 @ 9:18am 
No it isn’t what I meant I have seen that on some workshop items now that should be accessible to everyone but mine still worked wow.
bullfrog 23 Feb, 2021 @ 9:13am 
Is this what you mean: "Sorry!
An error was encountered while processing your request:
The item is either marked as hidden or you do not have permission to view it"?
RazorLaser  [author] 23 Feb, 2021 @ 9:06am 
Lol I can still get into my maps even though there isn't an option for the workshop right now if you know about what I mean. Should be fixed soon.
RazorLaser  [author] 22 Feb, 2021 @ 7:36am 
Thanks for playing again. You did use the platform and in a bit of a different way though wow that is fine though. You also did some things I didn’t even see. Actually I would say that all these alternate solutions are also intended ways. Thanks.
RazorLaser  [author] 22 Feb, 2021 @ 7:29am 
Thanks for playing again.
bullfrog 22 Feb, 2021 @ 7:22am 
I'm glad you are making the effort to make a new version that's not so easy to exploit. I watched your above video - I didn’t even notice that there were piston platforms xD – and read your comments on my last video about what you wanted to happen, but obviously didn’t happen. If I use the piston platforms, it’s even easier for the player to not do what you want them to do: even more unintended solution. Anyway, good luck in the future and I’ll be happy to play the updated version, once you have made it so that the solution you want is a bit more nailed down.
RazorLaser  [author] 22 Feb, 2021 @ 6:45am 
Thanks for the thumbs up @bullfrog
RazorLaser  [author] 22 Feb, 2021 @ 6:35am 
I might make an update like I said to fix some of this and that will be as a different workshop item at a different link and it will have version 2 at the end like some of my other levels I have published when I have updated them I have done them as separate versions. I guess you understand thank you :steamhappy:
RazorLaser  [author] 22 Feb, 2021 @ 6:33am 
I still added your video above @bullfrog even though some of the solution was unintended and an alternate solution but it is fine I don't mind.
RazorLaser  [author] 22 Feb, 2021 @ 6:29am 
I guess you saw my comment on your video. It’s okay I don’t mind the alternate solution on there I accept it don’t worry.
RazorLaser  [author] 22 Feb, 2021 @ 6:27am 
Thanks. Yeah I saw it. Yeah those are unintended ways some of it but I actually don’t mind and think it is intended some of it because it is just alternate solutions. I might replay this for another video on my channel showing this alternate solution some people have found lol. I might do an update to this and remove some stuff like the platforms, water and also add grating around some of the high portal surfaces maybe not sure yet but that would prevent this. Thanks for playing anyway.
bullfrog 22 Feb, 2021 @ 5:14am 
As requested; I played your map and then recorded a video of the method I ended up using: unintended solution. I didn’t use several portal surfaces in both room that I assume I was meant to use and I didn’t use one of the timed pedestal buttons in the second room which I was obviously meant to use. Like @jgaultney; I found the second room more dangerous, as opposed to more difficult. I personally didn’t like the triggered funnel at the exit, but others might. I’ll now watch you video to see what I was meant to do. Oh, I gave it thumbs up for effort ;)
RazorLaser  [author] 20 Feb, 2021 @ 11:41am 
Yeah in the advanced I kept it the same except I added water, platforms and death fizzlers to give it a bit more of a challenge but it is mostly the same. The advanced version is still a nice puzzle though. Yeah I know you just can walk around the platforms a bit and walk around and avoid them instead. I didn’t really think about that. Yeah I know about getting stuck on the platforms in the map. That has happened to me when playing this map of mine sometimes but I have worked out how to carry on anyway. It is still a good puzzle nevertheless. Thanks anyway.
RazorLaser  [author] 20 Feb, 2021 @ 11:38am 
Yeah I put in the description on the map please note there is a funnel trigger at the end so it is fine. Yeah I understand all that. I already know a lot of that. There are ways to prevent it. It is still a good map though. Thanks for playing.
Jan.B 20 Feb, 2021 @ 11:08am 
The normal version is ok, a large room with not much going on and a very easy puzzle.
The advanced version has the exact same solutions and is only made harder by the addition of arbitrary death fizzlers that can punish slow play with a softlock. The moving plattforms are both unnecessary and broken for some reason, I got stuck by stepping on them. Also the exit funnel is confusing, since there is no way of knowing that there is a trigger in front of the exit.

Thanks Shaggielll

Nice. You might like one of mine called The Fun In Funnel (Advanced)
RazorLaser  [author] 30 Jan, 2021 @ 8:39am 
I guess so. I know what you mean. It is a bit harder but not as hard I guess. Thanks anyway.
jgaultney 30 Jan, 2021 @ 8:17am 
I'm not sure the second part is harder but it's certainly riskier
and takes a bit more thought. :) :bigups:
RazorLaser  [author] 30 Jan, 2021 @ 5:01am 
Thanks :steamhappy:
niko 30 Jan, 2021 @ 5:00am 
Really cool concept, please do more like this in the future plss :D

Funnel Fun Normal and Advanced in one, enjoy.
