Slime Water

Slime, toxic water, or goo is an obstacle in Portal 2. Like shredders and pits, objects and players that drop into it are destroyed. The surface is brown and green.

Creation

• Create a brush extending over the area where you want the slime. Apply a toolsnodraw texture to all surfaces, then one of the toxicslime textures to the top.
• Create another brush in the same location. Texture with toolstrigger. Choose Tie to Entity and select Trigger_hurt. Set Damage and Damage Cap to 1000 and Damage Type to RADIATION.
• You will fall through water, so the basin needs another brush at its base.
• One way to destroy objects: place a trigger_multiple above the water, with the flag Physics Objects, and these outputs:

	My Output >	Target Entity	Target Input	Parameter	Delay	Only Once
	OnStartTouch	!activator	SilentDissolve		0.00	No
	OnStartTouch	!activator	Kill		0.10	No

Note:The engine will show you that both commands are invalid, just ignore it

The SilentDissolve command destroys cubes and fires their OnDissolved output correctly, so they can respawn. The Kill output removes other entities that ignore SilentDissolve. It is delayed to ensure SilentDissolve executes.

Although you cannot see it in-game, the slime will probably have ugly edges where the texture tiles. To fix this, you need to stretch the slime texture to the size of your pit. However, for whatever reason, pressing "Fit" on the Hammer Face Edit Dialog with the slime texture will not align it properly. To properly align/stretch the texture of the slime:

• Find a texture that is 256x256.
• Open the face edit dialog on the slime.
• Apply the 256x256 texture to the face.
• Press "Fit."
• Switch texture back to slime.

To finish it off, put a particle effect over the slime. You can use water_mist_256, water_mist_512, or water_mist_1024_512. (List of Portal 2 Particles)
