[Intro]
Hello together and welcome to my 1st tutorial
about Hammer [Portal 2 Authoring Tools]
and today we are going to do some Basics that you do at the beginning of the Map
1st, we have here many grey boxes
And here we go to "new"
and then we have here 4 Black Boxes
Thats here the 3 Dimensional Pespective ... Then we have the Top Pespective... The Side ... and the Front Perspective
To do a "Block" you have to select the "brush"-Tool, klick somewhere with the left "Mousebutton"...
Then you can see here a "Brush"- If you like it- press Enter
Before that you can also choose a Texture
For example a "Floor Texture" and then just press enter
and this is now a "Brush"
Now how you can make a Room?-> 2 Possibilities- 1. ...
1. You just use the Button over the Ctrl pressen, and "copy so the Brush"
Then we have 2 Brushes
Then you select the 2 Brushes with "Ctrl"
Then the Height is Calculated
Then we make a New Brush and you can se that its making a wall from one to the Other brush
Copy the Wall again with the Button over the Ctrl button to the Other side
And than again to the 3rd wall (like in the Video, and then use the "Things" at the Corner
When that Thing is not filled, or if its only at the Sides you have to klick at that brush
This is a leak-> you have to fix it!
Then copy the Wall again
now have have a hollow Room
Now the Other and Faster Possibility
Delete the Brushes by Klicking them and hitting the "Delete"-Button
Then Make a new (textured) Brush and hit Enter
And now we go to "Tools" and then "make Follow"
Positive value= Makes in it Hollow/ Negative value= Makes out it hollow
Now we have a room
This Room is a group of 6 Brushes- To ungroup, do it how in the Video
no we have 6 Brushes , that arent a group
now how to make a Player - Start 1. Select the "Entity-Tool" (under the Red Camera)
klick with the Mouse somewhere, press Esc twice and doubleklick at the Green Person
But the Green "person" still dont have a Gun- We have to add one by Cloning him with the Button over Ctrl ...
Then we write likein the Video "portalgun" and select it
Showpotato= shall it show PotatOS CanFirePortal1= shall it fire the Blue One can Fire Portal2 =shall it fire the Orange One
now we have to drag the gun to the Guy, that the Picks it up at the Start
You can set the scale of the Grid at the[ Grid and + symbol] and the [Grid and - symbol]
For example a huge Scale
Thats it- Thanks for whating!
