== Theme Song Still Alive==
{{portal}} The song "Still Alive" was written by Jonathan Coulton and performed by '''Ellen McLain''' for the Portal video game. McLain also provides the voice for GLaDOS, an artificial intelligence for the fictional Aperture Science Enrichment Center and the game's antagonist. "Still Alive" is sung from the perspective of GLaDOS and used as the song that runs over the game's credits. By the end of the game, Chell, the game's protagonist who has been misled and placed in life-threatening situations within the Aperture Science Enrichment Center, the setting of the game, by GLaDOS, will have finally encountered and defeated GLaDOS. However, the song and portions of post-credit scenes suggests that GLaDOS is still functional, and despite having been apparently destroyed by Chell, is "not even angry" at that prospect, having considered the monitoring of Chell's performance through the test chambers as a "huge success", regardless of the destruction caused by Chell and the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device being released into the outside world, for those that are "still alive". The Combine invasion of Earth from the Half-Life series was also hinted in the song by GLaDOS ("Go ahead and leave me, I think I'd prefer to stay inside. Maybe you'll find someone else to help you. Maybe Black Mesa. That was a joke. Ha Ha. Fat Chance."). The song itself is also present as a samba instrumental version through in-game radios at certain points within the game.
== Aperture Science ==
{{portal}}{{portal2}} '''Aperture Science''' is the mysterious research corporation behind the plot of [[Portal]].
According to [http://www.aperturescience.com its website], Aperture was founded by [[Cave Johnson]] in 1953 as a manufacturer of shower curtains. 26 years later, Aperture began development of the 'man-sized ad hoc quantum tunnel through physical space with possible applications as a shower curtain,' also called the 'Portal.'
Aperture eventually created the [[weapon_portalgun|Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device]], and built the [[Aperture Science Enrichment Center]] to test it. They also created [[GLaDOS]] in response to the news that [[Black Mesa]] was working on a similar portal technology.
The game, Portal, is set mostly in the test chambers of the Aperture Science Enrichment Center. After escaping the test chambers (and near-death), the player finds that the Enrichment Center is deserted, with abandoned desks and disconnected phones. It is apparently run only by GLaDOS.

== Making GLaDOS Speak ==
{{otherlang2
|ru=Making_GLaDOS_speak:ru
}}
== Using preset sounds ==
It's actually very easy to make GLaDOS talk, but which method to use may not be immediately obvious. You can play one of her lines using an {{ent|ambient_generic}}, but this has an unfortunate downside: <code>ambient_generic</code> entities continue to play even when the game is paused (hence the "ambient" part of the entity name).
In Valve's maps, a {{ent|logic_choreographed_scene}} is used instead. Here's how to make GLaDOS speak in your own maps with a <code>logic_choreographed_scene</code> entity:
#Create a small room outside of your regular play area. Cover the walls with the "nodraw" texture.
#Inside the room, create a {{ent|generic_actor}} entity. Set the entity's model to '''models/props/metal_box.mdl''' or something similar. ''The model doesn't really matter, but Valve uses metal_box in their maps because the map already uses that model in most cases (thus saving memory).''
#Set the <code>generic_actor</code>'s Name property to '''Aperture_AI''' (the name cannot be anything other than Aperture_AI, otherwise the scenes will not function).
#Create a <code>logic_choreographed_scene</code> in your play area and set the Scene property to whatever scene you want to play.
{{Note|If you are making a scene for cameras, you might want to try the following scenes out.}}
There are also many scenes that can be made for special use, including things like weighted storage cubes, and cameras.
'''Cameras'''
{{Note|As soon as you put an Aperture_AI, GLaDOS will automatically play one of the following scenes when a camera gets detached.}}
{{Note|After all five scenes have been played, GLaDOS will cease to randomly play the scenes and only play the fifth one.}}
* '''scenes\general\generic_security_camera_destroyed-1.vcd'''
* '''scenes\general\generic_security_camera_destroyed-2.vcd'''
* '''scenes\general\generic_security_camera_destroyed-3.vcd'''
* '''scenes\general\generic_security_camera_destroyed-4.vcd'''
* '''scenes\general\generic_security_camera_destroyed-5.vcd'''
'''Storage Cubes'''
* '''general\ai_box_fried.vcd'''
* '''general\ai_box_lost.vcd'''
Now, just trigger the <code>logic_choreographed_scene</code> entity and listen to GLaDOS speak!
== Custom Sounds ==
You can put in your own sounds for GLaDOS's voice if you like - just follow these steps:
{{Note|You should know about making triggers, inputs and outputs already before trying this!}}
# Create your sound and place it in "~/USERNAME/portal/portal/sound/MAPNAME/"
# Place an <code>ambient_generic</code> anywhere in your map - preferably near the trigger that will activate it.
# Open the "Sound Name" field in the <code>ambient_generic</code>'s properties and browse for your sound name.
# Make a name for your <code>ambient_generic</code>, trigger it with a PlaySound input from somewhere, and it should work.
=== Important notes ===
* Your audio file needs to be a .wav file, preferably 22050 Hz Sample Rate and Playback Rate.
* When distributing the map, you will need to either package the sound with the map or use bspzip to add the files to your .bsp if you want the sounds to be heard by recipients of your map.
** If you use bspzip, make sure to use all lowercase letters on everything and to use the .bsp internal sound folder of "/sound/MAPNAME/sound.wav"
* If things don't work correctly, try to trigger the sound in-game, then look at the developer's console and see if it gives you an error; this can be a valuable troubleshooting tool.
* All scenes from the GLaDOS' chamber requires a generic_actor named tim_larkin.

== Chell ==
''Chell'' is the player character in ''[[Portal]]'' and ''[[Portal 2]]''. Little is known of her, other than that she is dressed in test-subject attire and wears heel-springs to protect her from fall damage.
Unlike [[Gordon Freeman]], a Chell model exists and she is visible in-game. The mechanics of portals required the player character to be visible.
== Cube (Portal 2) ==
[[File:portal2_cube_types.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Cube types.]]
'''Cubes''' are portable objects in the Portal series. A cube can be placed on a [[Button (Portal 2)|button]] to activate it.
Various kinds of cubes exist in [[Portal 2]]. The standard cube changes color when it triggers a [[Button (Portal 2)|button]]. The edgeless cube acts the same, but is ball-shaped, and may be placed in a special button-receptacle. The pivot cube (also known as a redirection cube) can redirect a [[Discouragement Beam|discouragement beam]]. The companion and underground cubes are themed, but functionally the same as the standard cube. Frakenturrets are also functionally the same, but under certain conditions will jump around.

== GLaDOS ==
[[Image:glados.jpg|frame|right|GlaDOS.]]
The deceitful computer, GLaDOS (which stands for '''G'''enetic '''L'''ifeform '''a'''nd '''D'''isk '''O'''perating '''S'''ystem), is the speaker and controller behind the Aperture Science Enrichment Center. She has an odd obsession with cakes.
== Origin ==
GLaDOS was created in response to the news that [[Black Mesa]] was developing a portal technology similar to that of [[Aperture Science]]. Her original purpose was to be an artificially intelligent research assistant (and disk operating system). Work on GLaDOS started in 1986, and was under development for more than ten years before she was finally completed several years after 1996. GLaDOS was activated for the first time, untested, during one of the events on Aperture Science's first annual "bring-your-daughter-to-work" day.
<br><br>In many ways, the initial test went well...
<br><br>
GLaDOS is made up of several "[[prop_glados_core|personality cores]]" in the form of strange spheres that apparently control the AI's behavior. [[Chell]] encounters a morality core, curiosity core, cake core, and anger core (in that order) while destroying GLaDOS.
==Spoiler Warning!==
What follows is from Portal 2.  If you have not played the game yet and do not wish to ruin the experience, do not read any further.
== Updated Origin ==
Cave Johnson, founder of Aperture Science Center, in his wild pursuit of better portal technology, managed to contract cancer from the powdered dust of moon rocks.  Over the years, he became more and more irrational until one day, in a fit of "genius", he decided to put his assistant Caroline in his new computer core.  This was in the late 1970's.  The final "version" of GLaDOS was not completed until 1996.  The ten years it took to actually develop GLaDOS were mostly the OS portion.
The stresses of running the Enrichment Center were apparently too much for Caroline to handle.  Her mind was simply not able to deal with the amount of testing the Enrichment Center needed to have completed on a daily basis.  This may have been the reason for the addition of the OS to the computer core.  It is unclear what drove the combined Human/AI mind to the point it is at when we first meet GLaDOS, but one thing is clear:  the compulsion to test constantly certainly was a contributing factor.  It is unfortunate that Caroline was the sane, stable part of GLaDOS.  Caroline was also the only thing keeping Johnson from going completely insane.

== Personality Core ==
[[File:CrazyCakeyCuriousandMean.jpg|thumb|right|150px|GlaDOS Personality Core.]]
{{portal series point|prop_glados_core}} It spawns a core of [[GLaDOS]] computer. It resemble the human eyeball with handles attached to it. These play dialogue and look around when near the player.
The Portal 2 version of this entity is [[npc_personality_core]], though this entity is still available in the Portal 2 codebase.
== Keyvalues ==
