==Introduction==

When transitioning through levels, you don't want the player to hear the portalgun upgrade sound or see a portalgun coming from nowhere when loading a new map from a level transition. This guide will show you how to fix that.

{{Note| If your map doesn't have any level transitions or it's the first/only map in the map collection, all you have to do is put the <code>weapon_portalgun</code> on the player spawn and you don't need to follow this guide.}}

==Creating==
1. Create a <code>[[weapon_portalgun]]</code> entity and position it inside the <code>[[info_player_start]]</code> or where the player spawns and set its name to <code>portalgun</code>.

2. Create a <code>[[point_template]]</code> and set its name to <code>portalgun_template</code> and set <code>template 1</code> to <code>portalgun</code>.

3. Create a <code>[[logic_auto]]</code> entity and enter the following properties:
::{| class=standard-table
!  My Output > || Target Entity || Target Input || Parameter || Delay || Only Once
|-
| OnNewGame || portalgun_template || ForceSpawn || <none>  || 0.00 || No
|}

The portalgun should now only spawn when you load directly into the map and won't spawn when using level transitions.
