Portal Gun Pedestal style suggestions #1312

Open vrad-exe opened 7 years ago

The Portal Gun Pedestal is currently unstyled on all non-Clean styles. I would like to suggest style variants for the item.

[ ] Overgrown - Dirty portal gun pedestal. If static, the pedestal will have a chance to be tilted, with spark effects and the gun lying on the floor.
[ ] Old Aperture - 50s, 60s and 70s would all use TeamSpen210's custom Old Aperture pedestal, with the mechanisms and wires removed if static. 1980s would use the dirty Overgrown model, but without any damage effects. Refurbished would use a modern pedestal extended up through the floor on a Clean panel.
[ ] BTS - A 64x64 unit hole in the floor with a claw extended out, holding the portal gun. The arm would rotate to fire portals. When picked up, the arm would retract and grating would cover the hole.
Portal 1 and Wheatley - Same as Clean.

I updated the original post with style suggestions.

Quite some time ago I made a design for a 50s pedestal. 20170420171505_1

Additionally that beta pedestal needs to be modified, I've raised up the pedestal so it shoots at the center of surfaces.

What map is that?

Konclan commented 7 years ago

Why does it need 4 rotors? It could probably just do one small one

TeamSpen210 commented 7 years ago

The map is a remake of P1 TS 11 I did. It could do with 1 motor actually, that might look pretty good.

I still like the idea of 70's static pedestals being tables.

CubieJudy commented 6 years ago

Why 70's specifically? Why not all Old Aperture? Is there something about 70's that im missing?

Endermage77 commented 6 years ago

70's was a time of hardship for Aperture Science's coffers, so they tried to keep things as low-cost as possible to save the pennies they had.

I mean true...
