Revision as of 08:34, 21 July 2009

Rocket/bullet turrets are very easy to add to your Portal map.

Select the entity tool (Shift + E) and in the dropdown menu select npc_portal_turret_floor.
Then place it where you would like it on the map and rotate it so it's facing the correct direction.
Right-click on it and go to Properties.

Set Damage pushes player to Yes if you want the player pushed back by the turret.
Under Flags, check Autostart and Fast retire. This will cause your turret to automatically start and retire fast (like the ones in Portal).

Additionally, you can create a box around your turret to prevent it from being knocked down.

Select the entity tool (Shift + E) and in the dropdown menu select npc_rocket_turret.
Then place it where you would like it on the map and rotate it so it's facing the correct direction.

Note:Under Flags, check Disabled if you don't want it to be active right away.

To make it more Portal-esque, you should hide the turret under a door in the floor and have it raise up once the player comes near.
