Portal - Tutorial - Radio
(Redirected from Creating a Radio)
Introduction
This tutorial will show you how to create the Portal radios that usually play the fast instrumental version of the Still Alive song.
Note: The radios here will show you how to create the radios from the pre-2010 patch for Portal, some of these radios can still be seen in Portal's vmf files and even in test chamber 16's advanced version. You will have to be creative if you want to create your own proximity radios with the glow sprite.
Construction
- Create a prop_physics_override entity and set its World Model keyvalue to
models/props/radio_reference.mdl
. Place it where you want in your map. - Name the radio
