Incaite [Co-op]

PLEASE READ
Incaite is a purely logical Co-op map with only a few portal surfaces. It consists of three sequences/rooms with an increasing difficulty curve. Each sequence ends with a door - don't forget that in Co-op both players need to stay next to the door. I marked the trigger area on the floor and added a checkmark that indicates if both players are standing together in the trigger zone. The doors stay open once you passed them.

Difficulty: Medium - Hard

IMPORTANT info in case you're missing that mechanic:
In Co-op, narrow floor surfaces need an initial shot while standing in line with the surface. Once a portal is placed, the other player is able to overwrite it from any angle.

In this map the orientation of the floor portals isn't important because the laser is centered. Don't be upset that you can't switch the orientation as you might expect - I used a better portal magnet instead, that helps to improve your experience drastically. Please also care for the coloured frames around the signs, they indicate which dropper/door is connected to them.

Known issues:
- while trying to overwrite the other player's portal, you can accidently erase it instead. That's not intended and caused by the weird engine behaviour in Co-op. You can prevent that entirely if you shoot in the center of the portal when you're going to overwrite it
- apart from the first textbox, the other ones will only be shown to the player who runs into them first. They aren't important at all, feel free to inform your partner about their content
- cube climbing is a bit worse in Co-op - due to the engine again. I hope it isn't a big deal for you.

List of unintended things:
- glitches (especially Co-op exploits like passing grating or fizzlers)
- cube tossing with wild mouse movement
- speedrun techniques and ninja moves

Useful stuff:
- you can play Co-op alone if you have no real partner. Everything in this map can be easily executed as solo player. Check this simple guide if you want to learn how it works
- for long distance shots, you can use the mouse wheel for better aiming
- the console command "+remote_view" activates a permanent view of the other player's screen (instead of pressing TAB)
- "host_timescale 1.5" (or other values) can help to shorten the time for walking in sequence 3
- if the laser colission doesn't get disabled as it should, feel free to use this console command to disable it: sv_player_collide_with_laser 0

Huge thanks to SpKi for playesting and Mystical Λce for technical help.
Also thanks to all people (Libbybapa, Teo, Dark Rozen, Fumbly Bumbly, Mikeastro, ...) who gave me feedback for the thumbnail and tried checking workshop files!
Special thanks to Nobody No-One who gave me the idea for the map in 2019.
