'''Vacuum tubes''' are an aesthetic element of Portal 2. They are used throughout Aperture to distribute objects, like [[cubes (Portal 2)|cubes]], [[turret (Portal 2)|turrets]], and [[gel (Portal 2)|gel]]. They can be used to add visual interest to levels, and should be used around [[dropper|droppers]].

The cubes and turrets that fly through the tubes are an animation.
Look in the model folder "props_vac_anim".
 
To make gel flow through tubes create an [[info_particle_system]] and set the particle to '''blob_curve_orange''' for propulsion gel or '''blob_curve_blue''' for repulsion gel (These particles are not listed anywhere so i do not know the name for the conversion gel particle).
Then create an [[info_target]] entity, name it, check the "'''Always transmit to client (ignore PVS)'''"
flag and set the [[info_target]] as '''control point 1''' of the [[info_particle_system]] you created before.
The Gel will now go straight from the [[info_particle_system]] to the [[info_target]].
 
The distance between those two entities will determine how thick the gel flow is.
