Topic: Collaboration for TF2 map?

[Twisol]

I've been thinking of trying my hand at using Hammer to make a sort of Portal-esque TF2 map. Something that has portals that pop up on their own in certain places, and cycle through every, say, 10 seconds. I'm not sure if this kind of crossover between games is possible, but it sure would be neat...

Any suggestions, improvements, ideas?

you can't crossover things like that in source games, at least not with out
making a mod from scratch.

Drat. And considering when I click "Make a Mod" in the Source SDK it says the modding isn't compatible with Orange Box games (yet), I guess there's going to be no Portals in TF2 maps for me.

Just kidding. That is a custom map call cp_skyscraper and I am not sure if that is a functional portal or just a decoration. It looks too big to be a spray.

The textures in the portal don't match the other textures in the shot.
I'm sure it is possible but you'd had to do some serious scripting or run it in Gmod I think.

That syringe-assisted jump is AWESOME.
