== Hello and Welcome ==
Hey Hypocriticism. Welcome to thePortalWiki. I hope you enjoy your stay, and feel free to come to me or any of the other staff members if you have any questions. Having said that, I ask you to please tone back the use of "f**cking" and "ffs" in the changenotes when you're editing pages. That section is meant for summarizing what the change was meant to do at best, or to leave a short message or note about it at the minimum; not aggressive commentary. Anyway, the quality of your changes themselves have been good, so I'll leave you to it; welcome and have fun. [[User:Sven|Sven Cakemann]] ([[User talk:Sven|talk]]) 01:56, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

{{Featured article tag}}

The '''Puzzle Creator''' (also known as '''Puzzle Maker''' or '''Editor''') is a part of the [[Perpetual Testing Initiative]] in ''[[Portal 2]]'', a DLC released on May 8th, 2012<ref name="shacknews_editor_confirmed"/> allowing the creation of single-player and [[Co-op]] test chambers within a simple in-game editor.<ref name="shacknews_editor_confirmed">[http://www.shacknews.com/article/70740/portal-2-in-game-map-editor-confirmed ShackNews article ''Portal 2 in-game map editor confirmed''] accessed 22 October 2011</ref>

In order to create a cooperative puzzle, the chamber must be marked as a "Cooperative puzzle" in the "File" menu of the Puzzle Creator.

== Overview ==
The editor was first mentioned within [[Portal 2 - The Final Hours|''The Final Hours of Portal 2'']], "[An in-game level browser won't be of much use unless] Valve figures out how to make designing Portal 2 maps an easier process. It has a plan there too, it comes in the form of a simplified level editor [...] a Photoshop for test chambers".<ref name="FinalHours_mention_editor">[[Portal 2 - The Final Hours]], page 10 of chapter "Unlikely Architects".</ref>

The "Puzzle Creator" does not appear to have a single official name; Valve published a blog post on the October 27, 2011 referring to the editor as the "Puzzle Creator"<ref name="Portal 2 Puzzle Creator Sneak Peek">[http://www.thinkwithportals.com/blog.php?id=6632&p=1 Portal 2 Puzzle Creator Sneak Peek]</ref>, later referred to it on the blog post of April 27, 2012 as "Puzzle Maker"<ref name="The Perpetual Testing Initiative">[http://www.thinkwithportals.com/blog.php?id=7853&p=1 The Perpetual Testing Initiative]</ref> and simply calling it "Editor" in-game.

==Interface==
The Puzzle Creator features a stylised representation of the test chamber being worked on; featuring a simplified, bright, and flat color palette, and models and textures lack the level of detail that they would have in-game.

==Hints==
===Initial non-repeating hints===
*Click a chamber surface tile to select it.
*Click and drag across several surfaces to block-select.
*Right click selections to change surface portalability.
*Drag the boundary edge of a selection to move the highlighted surfaces.
*Press and drag the background to rotate your camera view.
*Move the mouse to the far left edge of the screen to open the puzzle item palette.
===Beginner===
*Right click an item to change its properties or connect items together.

*Rotate the camera view up to work on the ceiling.
*Rapidly duplicate puzzle items by holding down {{key|C}} while moving them.
*Use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in and out.
*Some items need to occupy space behind the surface they are mounted to. Look for a dashed outline of the required volume while you move them.
*Some item placements are incompatible and will show an error indication until they are fixed.

===Early intermediate===
*Use the adjustment gizmo that appears when you click an item to reposition it on its surface.
*Double click a surface to automatically expand the selection around all adjacent coplanar surfaces.
*Block-select surfaces on different planes to select a volume.
*Look for hotkey shortcuts along the right side of menus.
*The large mandatory observation room emits a bright light that casts shadows. Position it to enhance the visual effect of your chamber.
*Are your puzzles too dark? Use small observation room and light strip items to control the illumination level throughout your chamber.
*Press and drag the middle mouse wheel/button to rotate the camera view.
*The icons along the left side of a context menu are buttons that can be used repeatedly while the menu is open.
*Press and drag the middle mouse wheel/button while holding down {{key|Shift}} to pan the camera view.

*Press and drag the right mouse button to rotate the camera view.
*Drag the boundary of a volume selection set to move a portion of your chamber along any 3D axis.
===Intermediate===
*Connect multiple buttons to a receiving item: This requires all to be pressed simultaneously for activation.
*Hold down the spacebar and drag anywhere to quickly move selected surfaces and volumes.
*Use {{key|Home}} key to reset the camera view.
*Press {{key|F9}} to rebuild and run your puzzle.
*Use {{key|W}}, {{key|A}}, {{key|S}}, {{key|D}} keys to move the camera view.

*Press the {{key|O}} key to invert the portalability of selected surfaces
*Connect items together quickly by selecting one and using the {{key|K}} key.
*Hold down {{key|Alt}} while moving items to keep them on surfaces facing away from the camera view.
*Hold down {{key|Shift}} while rotating turrets and dropper-less cubes to snap their orientation to 45 degree increments.
===Advanced===
*When previewing your puzzle in first-person mode, use the 'noclip' console command to quickly navigate the chamber.
*Place up to 4 light strips on a surface by using their adjustment gizmo.
*Change glass to grating by right clicking and changing the barrier type.
*Drag a trajectory target back onto its faith plate to create a vertical launch.
*Create a pre-placed gel splat by deleting or disabling the associated dropper.


==Limitations==
As the puzzle creator is designed for ease of use, certain limitations apply. These limitations can be overcome by exporting the map to [[Portal 2 Authoring Tools|Hammer]] (see Related Commands).
* There is a limit of 1750 entities in a single chamber. Items consist of multiple entities, meaning the actual number of placeable items is much lower than this. The entity cost of each item is noted on its page. 
* The editor is block based, meaning that angles and smaller geometry cannot be achieved without the use of partial block items from BEE2 (see below).
* Chambers are isolated, so sequences of chambers cannot be published as one map using the Puzzle Creator alone.
* Certain item placements are "invalid", and the chamber cannot be built or exported to Hammer while invalid item placements exist within it. Invalid placements will show an error indication until fixed.

== Modifications ==

Modifications are addons that add custom content to the PeTI Puzzle Maker and/or styles.

=== BEEmod and BEE2 ===

'''BEEmod''', or '''Ben and August's Extended Editor''', is a well-known modification for the PeTI which adds 10 extra items to the in-game palette, including [[High Energy Pellet]]s and [[Portal Spawner|Autoportals]]. A download and more information about the mod can be found at https://portal2backstock.com/bee/.

'''BEE2''' is the second version of the BEEmod. BEE2 is a standalone app which allows the user to choose the items available on the palette from a wide range of custom items. It also includes Carl Kenner's Stylemod, allowing you to choose between styles such as 1950s and Overgrown. It can be downloaded at http://portal2backstock.com/bee2/, along with TeamSpen210's Addons.

'''BEE2.4''' is a new version of the BEE2 which has been completely rewritten in Python by TeamSpen210. It includes lots of new features including multiple game support, stylevars which can be used to configure the behavior of things, and many new compiler features. This new version is available on GitHub at https://github.com/BEEmod/BEE2.4, and the official Discord server can be found at https://discord.me/beemod. This is currently the only supported version, any bugs in the old BEE2 will not be fixed.

The BEE2 allows the user to select from a wide range of Valve-made and custom test elements, such as the large version of the [[Aerial Faith Plate]] and warm light strips. It also allows you to select a style in which the chamber will be built (such as 1950s Old Aperture). In the BEE2.4, you can also choose the background music, what voice lines are present (if any), the skybox (used for fog in larger chambers and bottomless pits) and the entry/exit [[elevator]] videos, if the style supports them. For example, you could make your map in a 1970s Enrichment Sphere with bottomless pits and the [[Announcer]] talking to the player, while [[Portal 2 Soundtrack|Die Cut Laser Dance]] plays in the background.

Heavy Duty Super-Colliding Super Button

2018-08-17T20:37:38Z

Hypocriticism:

{{stub}}
{{Quotation|'''GLaDOS'''|Please place the Weighted Storage Cube on the Fifteen Hundred Megawatt Aperture Science Heavy Duty Super-Colliding Super Button.|sound=GLaDOS_00_part2_entry-1.wav}}
The '''Heavy Duty Super-Colliding Super Button''' is a game [[Mechanics|mechanic]] used throughout the ''Portal'' series. It is used within [[Test Chambers]], and is activated when either a player or [[Weighted Storage Cube]] is placed upon it.

== Uses ==
Buttons are present in virtually all test chambers and, when activated, trigger a variety of effects. Buttons can either control the flow of Excursion Funnels, open and close hatches, release [[Weighted Storage Cube]]s, or even open and close the gate leading to the exit. It's up to the player to figure out how and when to use the button, or buttons, in order to proceed.

== Buttons ==

=== Heavy Duty Super Button ===
[[File:Portal 2 Heavy Duty Super-Colliding Super Button.png|right|100px]]

The '''Heavy Duty Super Button''' is a receptacle that can be triggered by the weights of player characters, [[#Weighted Storage Cube|Weighted Storage Cube]]s, [[#Edgeless Safety Cube|Edgeless Safety Cube]]s, and [[#Frankenturret|Frankenturret]]s. The button was introduced in ''Portal'' and remained prevalent in ''Portal 2''.

An older prototype variant from the 50-70s era of the Super Buttons can be seen in the ''Portal 2'' single-player chapters ''The Fall'' and ''The Reunion''.

=== Weighted Storage Cube Receptacle ===
[[File:Weighted Storage Cube Receptacle.png|right|100px]]

'''Weighted Storage Cube Receptacles''', as obvious by its name, serves as a receptacle only for the [[#Weighted Storage Cube|Weighted Storage Cube]]s, even though it can also activate using [[Weighted Companion Cube]]s and [[Discouragement Redirection Cube]]s. This receptacle is only present in the co-op campaign of ''Portal 2'', though it is available in the [[Puzzle Creator]].

The Storage Cube must be placed securely inside the receptacle in order for test subjects to proceed. Although its appearance is similar to the [[Heavy Duty Super-Colliding Super Button|Super Button]], it cannot be activated by the weight of test subjects or any other objects being placed upon it.
{{Clr}}

=== Edgeless Safety Cube Receptacle ===
[[File:Edgeless Safety Cube Receptacle.png|right|100px]]
{{Quotation|'''GLaDOS'''|You have no idea how tiring it is to praise someone for placing an Edgeless Safety Cube into a receptacle designed to exactly fit an Edgeless Safety Cube.|sound=GLaDOS_mp_coop_fling_3end04.wav}}
The Edgeless Safety Cube Receptacle is a receptacle for the [[#Edgeless Safety Cube|Edgeless Safety Cube]], introduced in ''Portal 2''. The Cube must be placed securely inside the receptacle in order for the player to proceed.

Edgeless Safety Cubes and their receptacles only appear as testing elements in the game's cooperative campaign and the [[Perpetual Testing Initiative]]. However, an Edgeless Safety Cube can be seen among the "junk" in [[Portal 2 Chapter 2 Test Chamber 6]].
{{Clr}}

=== Contraption Cube Receptacle ===
[[File:Contraption_Cube_Receptacle.png|right|100px]]

The Contraption Cube Receptacle is exclusively featured in the [[Portal 2 - Education Version|educational version of Portal 2]]. Although it is designed for the [[Cube#Contraption Cube|Contraption Cube]], the Receptacle will not recognize the Contraption Cube or activate any puzzle elements which are connected with it. Additionally, it appears entirely black in-game, when the model itself has different colors.
{{Clr}}

=== One-Touch Super Button ===
[[File:One Touch Super Button.png|right|100px]]
The One-Touch Super Button appears in [[Bridge Constructor Portal]] and is a blue variant of the normal Super Button that stays powered after being pressed at least once.

== [[Puzzle Creator]] item properties ==

* '''Entity cost:''' 3 
* '''Connections:''' This item supports outputs, which activate when the button is pressed and deactivate when it is unpressed. ''Connect to...'' is used to connect this item to another, via inputs or outputs. ''Connection visibility'' controls the visibility of this connection, and ''Remove connections'' can be used to remove an existing connection.
* '''Button Type:''' Used to select between Weighted, Cube and Sphere buttons. In the [[Portal 2 - Education Version|educational version]], it also allows switching to the Contraption Cube receptacle.
* '''Toggle Stopwatch:''' Unknown, only present in educational version. Possibly related to the timer functionality present in that version.

== Trivia ==
* In ''Portal'' [[Portal Test Chamber 16|Test Chamber 16]], [[turrets]] can activate a button. This is the only occurrence of this.
* GLaDOS mocks humans for having trouble placing an Edgeless Safety Cube into a receptacle specifically designed for it.

[[File:Oracle Turret 1.png|thumb|right|300px|The Oracle Turret stuck in a Vital Apparatus Vent]]
{{Quotation|'''Oracle Turret'''|I'm different.|sound=Turret_turretstuckintube09.wav}}
The '''Oracle Turret''' is a friendly [[Sentry Turret]] that is encountered twice in ''[[Portal 2]]''. Although the Oracle Turret is never named in-game, the name was revealed in an interview with Valve writers.<ref>[http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/04/27/valve-on-portal-2-spoiler-interview-part-one/ Valve On Portal 2: Spoiler Interview Part One], John Walker, [http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/ rockpapershotgun.com], April 27, 2011. Accessed April 30, 2011.</ref>

== Encounters ==
=== [[Story#Chapter 1|Chapter 1]] ===
[[File:Oracle Turret 2.png|thumb|right|300px|The Oracle Turret on its way to redemption]]
The player first encounters the Oracle Turret in [[Story#Chapter 1|Chapter 1]] of ''Portal 2'', where the Oracle Turret is stuck in a pneumatic transport tube. The Oracle Turret asks Chell to help it, and to take it with her; however the Oracle Turret is inaccessible and [[Wheatley]] advises Chell to move past and ignore it.

=== [[Story#Chapter 5|Chapter 5]] ===
The second encounter with the Oracle Turret is on the [[Turret Redemption Line]]. The player can pick the turret up from the Turret Redemption Line, at which point it says "Thank you" and an achievement(No Hard Feelings) is unlocked for saving it. {{spoiler text|After being saved, the Oracle Turret will say several cryptic messages, including "Her name is Caroline" and "Don't make lemonade".}}
If the player ignores it, the Oracle Turret will complete its journey along the Redemption Line and disappear, and will presumably be incinerated and destroyed.

== Quotes explained ==

{{spoiler text| '''Get Mad''': [[Cave Johnson]] is angry in [[Portal 2 Chapter 7 Enrichment Sphere 6|Chapter 7]] about "lemonade" and says that.}}

{{spoiler text| '''Don't make lemonade''': Same reference as "Get Mad."}}

{{spoiler text| '''Prometheus was punished by the gods by giving the gift of knowledge to man. He was cast into the bowels of the earth and pecked by birds''': [[GLaDOS]] told [[Wheatley]] that he was designed to be a moron, which triggered Wheatley to send Chell and GLaDOS into Old Aperture unintentionally. After GLaDOS and Chell went down on the fall, GLaDOS was pecked by a bird and the bird flew away.}}

{{spoiler text| '''It wont be enough''' : The parodox wont work on Wheatley.}}

{{spoiler text| '''The answer is beneath us''': GLaDOS's true identity is hidden among Johnson's intercom messages, playing deep underneath Aperture. Alternatively, this may be referencing the [[Gels|Mobility Gels]], found beneath Chell when the Oracle Turret is found, which are key to defeating Wheatley. (None of the Corrupted Cores would have been attached without the [[Conversion Gel|Conversion]] and [[Repulsion Gel]]s, and the [[Fact Sphere]] would never have been usable as the finishing blow to cause the attempted core transfer without the Propulsion Gel.)}}

{{spoiler text| '''Her name is Caroline; Remember that''': [[Caroline]], the assistant of Cave Johnson, is the person whose sentience resides in GLaDOS.}}

{{spoiler text| '''That's all I can say''': The last quote played by the Oracle Turret until picked up again.}}

Cake

Hypocriticism: FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[[Image:Portal Cake.png|right|200px]]
{{Quotation|'''GLaDOS'''|There really was a cake...|sound=GLaDOS_escape_01_death_nag01-1.wav}}

The promise of '''Cake''' is introduced by [[GLaDOS]] as an incentive for [[Chell]] to complete the [[test chambers]] in the original [[Portal]]. It is referenced in many of the [[Doug Rattmann|Rattmann's dens]] as "a lie", sparking the {{w|internet meme}} [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-cake-is-a-lie "The Cake is a lie"]. {{Spoiler|The Cake can be seen at the end of Portal in a room surrounded with waking [[Personality_core|Personality Cores]] and the [[Weighted Companion Cube|Companion Cube]].}}

== Portal ==
The cake is spoken of frequently throughout Portal. It is often mentioned through dialogue as well as [[Rattmann]]'s wall art in his dens. Although the dens frequently claim that the cake is in fact a lie, the ending of Portal shows the actual cake.

=== Recipe ===
In addition to the simple mention of the Cake, an actual recipe is given. {{Spoiler|The recipe can be found on several computer screens after Chell's escape from death.}} Additionally, {{Spoiler|during the battle with GLaDOS,}} the [[Cores#Intelligence Core|Intelligence Core]] will recite the recipe for the Cake. The recipe often contains inedible or undesirable ingredients, such as "fish shaped ethyl benzene" or "cranial caps."
{{hatnote|See also: [[Core voice lines#Intelligence core|Intelligence Core voice lines]]}}

== Portal 2 ==
The cake is referenced again in Portal 2, but much more infrequently. The earliest reference to it can be seen on computer monitors; it's recipe is displayed amidst gibberish. Another is referenced once through a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bxd7gdSt7dU#t=19m19s sticker on the fake door before GLaDOS takes Chell to her chamber], mentioning that she [[Media:GLaDOS fgbrvtrap02.wav|"...honestly, TRULY didn't think [Chell would] fall for that."]] This contradicts the common notion that GLaDOS may have forgotten about the cake after the destruction of the Intelligence Core.

== Trivia ==
* The cake does not appear in ''[[Portal 2]]'' as it did in ''[[Portal]] 1'', Erik Wolpaw stated that it was removed because he and Valve were tired of the memes and had enough of cake jokes.
* The cake slice icon shown on the neon panels throughout [[Test Chamber]]s in Portal appears in another Valve game, [http://store.steampowered.com/app/630 Alien Swarm], as the icon of the achievement "Perfect".
** The icon has also appeared on the [http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Noise_Maker#Team_Fortress_Birthday TF Birthday Noise Maker] item's icon in ''Team Fortress 2'', with the cherry removed.
* The cake was put in the game as inspired from the Black Forest cake sold in a bakery near the Valve headquarters.
* An alternative recipe is given during the [[You Wouldn't Know|credits]] of [[LEGO Dimensions]]; its ingredients are edible, save for {{Tooltip|the final ingredient.|1 20-FT THICK IMPERMEABLE CLAY LAYER.}}
