Portal - Tutorial - Spawning With The Portalgun
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 weapon_portalgun on the player spawn and you don't need to follow this guide.Creating
1. Create a weapon_portalgun entity and position it inside the info_player_start or where the player spawns and set its name to portalgun.
2. Create a point_template and set its name to portalgun_template and set template 1 to portalgun.
3. Create a logic_auto entity and enter the following properties:
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.
