i luv it but its impossible

oh

The start button in on the right when you enter the room, you can see it on the preview screenshots of the map.

i like it but wheres the button that starts theball pinball ball

@William : Please only post comments related to this map or I will delete them ^^

As you can see there is no #BEEMOD tag in the description so that means I didn't use it in this map ^^

But does it need bee mod

UM WHAT ABOUT THIS MAP I LOVE IT

@nintendo.erk : That's an idea ^^ Not sure if I still have the original file of this map (so that I can edit it) anyway...
Will try yours when I have a moment ;)

you can make a system with lasers for the flippers so they return right after being deployed.
i recently created a pinball machine in the pti with some help from beemod and modified panels so the ball won't fizzle on them.

It might work. It's almost pinball without flippers.

@Diamond Knight : Not before I googled it ^^

Very cool design. Ever heard of Pachinko?

Wow... I fail.
Thanks for the tip!

You need to enter the command "sv_cheats 1" to activate cheats first, or you wont be allowed to use noclip ;)

I haven't played yet today...
BTW: I still can't figure out how to use noclip. I put it in my dev console at one point, but it never activated...

And you were able to take a screenshot of the situation? Maybe use noclip or some glitch to enter the pinball and see what's the problem with the ball...

If it happens again, yes.

Hmmm, strange... You mean you pressed the button to respawn the ball and nothing happened? It's possible that the ball dropper glitched itself and wont drop balls any more because the ball was respawned too repetitively... In this case, I can't do anything to prevent and/or fix that sorry ^^"
But if something else happened that stuck the ball, could you take a screenshot of what's going on?

For some reason, it stopped working for me...
I got two turrets, but then for some reason, the ball glitched out. Apparently, it got stuck somewhere. Might I suggest placing a second button to respawn the ball?

Yeah sure, finishing the puzzle is more "waiting that the ball bounce half-randomly to all the buttons" X)

Enjoyed the hell out of this. Not the puzzle part, but just enjoyed watching the pinball action. Loved it! Difficulty 8/10 (if you really want to solve the puzzle, getting rid of all the turrets was not as interesting as the pinball action) Design 9/10

Lol X) The exit is on the same floor as the entrance ^^"

i couldn't find the exit -_-;;

Brand new fun game in my workshop! Lets try the Chamboule-Tout !

great pinball game. i can see many hours of work for my few minutes of fun. thanks

Well all that would be if I knew how to use Hammer ^^ I'm currently building maps with PeTI only, so of course if you start editing with Hammer you can probably fix the bug and make it looks like a real pinball ;)

Well then, rather than use flippers, make it a bit more futuristic. This is portal, after all, 10,000 years in the future ;) Use a vacuum tubes that exert an outgoing air pressure when the button is activated. Granted the layout will need some rearranging to accomodate vacuum tubes but the pinball machine layout is messed up anyway. Also, you could have a rotating block connected to a button to change the trajectory of the ball and you could incorporate a machine shaker feature, like an earthquake thing to shake things up.

@machmanx : Sorry about the few interactions of the ball with the flipper, but I reduced them voluntarly because of a bug of the game : If you deploy an angled pannel (the flipper) when the ball is on the trajectory of the pannel, this will most of the time destroy the ball instead of making it bounce!

The pinball setup is flawed. Out of the 20 launches I got to use the flipper once. Otherwise the ball never reached the flippers. The layout needs improvement and consulting a pic of an actual pinball machine may help. Besides that, this is supposed to be for science and well, user interaction was little.

impressive.

Well the idea was to place a portal behind the dropper button and the other close to the flipper buttons ;) So that you can see the ball in the dropper when you press it ^^

Oh, suggestion...put the button that drops the ball closer to the flipper buttons, maybe right behind?

OK, that was REALLY cool. Much better than mine!

I apologize about the lack of control, but I was faced with a big problem : for some reasons if you activate an angled pannel when the ball is on the trajectory of the pannel, it will fizzle the ball instead of just push it -_-

And I tried to prevent cycling path for the ball as much as possible ;)

Pros:
• Pinball!
• Bouncing turrets!

Cons:
• Limited control over ball;
• Watching the ball hit the same two targets more than once;

Thanks ^^

Best pinball map in Portal 2

Yup ^^ Added it to the list ;)

Hi Gen,

This is my pre-release as I told you last week

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=75743537

Thanks

@Soup Calhoun : I undestood how to portal through glasses by watching some video X) But I will not fix this, it may break the skin of the room :p

it was so fun

The update stopped the gel method, but did not resolve the ground portal method I mentioned in my earlier comment. I don't know why I am so invested in finding exploits in people's maps.

Map updated ^^ I only fixed the way to take the cube... If someone want to enter the Pinball and is able to use the glitch, nevermind :p

Wow you find exploits I couldn't ever imagine ^^ And I already imagine a looooot of possibles bypass in my maps X) Thanks again, I will correct this soon...
It would be pretty perfect if you could test every maps I did like that, but I don't want to impose anyone to play all my chambers ;) So do what you like in my workshop :p

If you know how portal bumping works, I did it on the ceiling near of the glass separating the pinball game from the player. And the update did stop one way to get the cube, but there was still another way. Shoot a portal on the wall slightly under the height of the glass over the turrets and a portal sideways on the ground near the cube. Fall out of the wall portal and shoot the same portal onto the ground to enter, upon coming out of the first ground portal move sideways (You move faster in the air like this) toward the cube, then grab it, Harder to do but still bypassable.
You can resolve everything by putting more nonportalable surfaces on the ceiling near the pinball and the ground near the turrets.

@Soup Calhoun : Ok, did the last update fixed the way you bypassed the turrets? And for entering the Pinball itself... How did you pass through the glass wall? X)

I beat this level a different way by only getting the turret in the far left with blue gel then got a portal at a high distance, fell down out of it, shot an exit portal at where the light bridge ends and the entry portal at the ground, bounced off the blue gel and over the remaining turrets to the cube. Huge success followed. You can also portal bump your way into the pinball game.

There is actually a very good community for source mapping with helpful tutorials and so on. only problem is, it is in german language ;) its called Thewall.de i dont know if such sites also exist in english, at least the valve developer community is a good start.

^^ I have to sneak with the item limit since my first map X) And there is not a lot of maps in my workshop which didn't annoy me with this error ^^" I think about using Hammer, but need more time to learn how it works... Maybe this summer :p
