So, this is my second tutorial, do you like it? Well, somebody have to fix grammar ;) BTW: In Portal, there's blue line under platform, do you know how to make it? ~ Rullaf 10:05, 04 Feb 2008

Yup thats a Laser, an env_laser, and wow, fantastic job on the tut, keep it up!--Gear 08:56, 4 Feb 2008 (PST)

Lots of effects

Hey, I'm new here, but a long time visitor. Just a heads up, I'm working on a map that involves a platform, and WOW. It has a lot of special effects. To start: yes, there is a laser that runs the length, I think the sprite is "sprites/trackbeam." Also, there is what seem to be a func_illusionary running the length of the beam as well, possibly 8 units thick, and, I think, painted with "effects/light_rail_beam1." There is something new, called an env_lightrail_endpoint to be included, and lastly, something I can't figure out. There is a glowy sprite thing right under the platform itself, that travels along the beam. Can't figure out what sprite it is though. Cheers. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Doomboy1000 (talk • contribs).

Yep, you're right, but I don't know neither. I'll add some of these effects to tut soon. ~ Rullaf 08:10, 12 Feb 2008

Wrong Example Link

The link to the example map links to the wrong map - it links to the rotating portalgun map. :) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Doomboy1000 (talk • contribs).

Thx, I forgot to change it when I used that tut as template. I'll reupload it and change link in an article. ~ Rullaf 06:55, 22 Feb 2008
