==Limitations== | |||
As the puzzle creator is designed for ease of use, certain limitations apply. These limitations can be overcome by importing the map into Hammer in the [[Portal 2 Authoring Tools]]. | |||
* The entity limit is set to 1750; the actual number of items placeable by the user is much lower than this. <!-- get exact number --> | |||
* The editor is block based, so complex geometry such as curves and angles smaller or greater than 90 degrees cannot be achieved. | |||
* Chambers are isolated, so sequences of chambers cannot be published as one map using the Puzzle Creator alone. | |||
