WTF has happened to the description? o_O
Ugh I'll care for that tomorrow. Nuff done with portal maps for today.

Hmm... I don't see what could cause that glitch. It's probably caused by the pellet launcher. I'll mention it to Ben.

Wait, it glitches with a NOT gate? I'll have to check that out.

You are too fast with your comments, Nick. :-D
Meanwhile I got your point and updated the map.
Your idea is great because it prevents the pellet emitter from reenabling.

*I meant to say that the pellet launcher will also turn off

Let's look at it this way: the NOT gate is a laser pointing at a catcher, with the laser starting enabled. The pedestal button and the catcher are both connected to the launcher. When you press the button, the launcher activates, since the laser is starting enabled. When the pellet receiver is hit, the laser is turned off, meaning that the pellet launcher will also turn it off.

I admit I don't quite understand what you mean. Having the launcher connected to two items results in an AND gate and that won't work, would it? Hmm...

Whoops I used a different approach now and it still works. :-D

No, the pellet catcher. The launcher is connected to the button and the NOT gate, so that it turns on when the button is pressed, and permanently deactivated when the pellet enters the catcher.

Which catcher, the laser catcher? I'm going to try that. I was about to do a slight change anyway so that the whole thing makes a bit more sense.

Couldn't you also connect the button directly to the launcher, and then connect the catcher to a NOT gate?
