Markers and Posters #1096

Open Byzarru opened 7 years ago

These would be two different overlay items for decoration and direction.

Markers are overlays that direct the player or their attention to an important area. These could make triggers visible or point out hard to see pathways. They would come in two varieties, both using Turret and Cube rotations. The first would pivot around the center of the overlay, while the second would pivot around an edge or corner.

  4. Black Target
  5. Painted Arrow
  6. Painted X
  7. Stenciled Arrow
  8. Old Aperture Target

Posters are purely decorative overlays, including the Old Aperture signs, office posters (including the Portal 1 posters), and test element advertisements. These would be especially useful in BTS chambers, which would help make maps look more like office and maintenance areas. You could also place posters in Old Aperture to tell hobos not to lean on the glass, or use in Clean to tell your test subjects that the test is brought to them by Citranium.

Possible sets:

The poster item could use the ICP instead of being limited to a finite selection (allowing for more variety).

One thing to note is that the 360° rotation doesn't work on walls or ceilings.

Start reversed can set a random poster orientation for ceiling and wall items. Or the poster can be set to 8 angles with some randomization.
