Cooling Towers

Description
Make your way up as you cool the tower down. Water is your friend so don't be afraid to take a dip.

Things to note:

-The lighting tends to cut off at odd points.
-the orange and blue lights used to help give the lazers their own lighting don't always
turn on properly on loading a map.
-With the custom water texture, there may be instances where some of the static and dynamic props vanish. I'm
still investigating the cause of this.
-The laser receivers have an odd glitch from time to time, where the laser will either hit it or pass through
it without activating it. I'm not sure what causes it, but I've no idea how to fix it, other than to
sweep the laser over it rather than stopping on it.

the sphere puzzle at the start is impossible. i literally can not push the buttons fast enough. the puzzles never have enough clarity, and even when they do, i cant do anything quick enough. the only upside is the base idea of this, which is a very interesting concept- the execution is just not very good. when you get better at mapping (and at testing your maps), i'd be interested to see a remake of this, so i left a thumbs up. :)

I'd love to play this map, but the first puzzle to get the cube out of the 3D maze is just too frustrating to the point of boredom: I gave up because I'd rather spend my time playing Portal. Could you cut this out, or simplify it a bit?

I had to cheat the initial box, but after that, everything was OK, with the exception of a little lack of clarity (I took longer than my patience would normally allow). There were also some misaligned textures, as well as somewhat dim lighting, like in your other custom visuals maps.

One other suggestion: avoid using the entrance and exit instances from the Puzzlemaker. You can simply use an info_player_start and a weapon_portalgun at the same starting location, and a trigger_once with an output to the global_pti_ents instance at the location you want to end your map.

I spend an hour to finish.This is one of the best map.

I like the mini-game type areas, but I'm completely stuck at the cube. I can't even figure out where the exit hole of the box is, let alone figure out how to get the cube there..

Quite challenging map. But I agree that most of the devices need clearer marking what they're good for. Wasted a lot of time jumping through the map trying to figure out what button or laser does what.
