Playing with console commands ...

[lePobz]

... so, ent_create_portal_weighted_box does this: -

... and CreateHairBall does this: -

... freaky huh ...

But how the hell do I spawn my lovely companion cube?

I assume it's a variation of the original weighted box command to get another skin, but i can't find it.

 

[xennyth]

well first of all, it's "ent_create_portal_weight_box" not "ent_create_portal_weighted_box"

also, "ent_create_portal_metal_sphere" will create an eye such as the one that's used in the advanced map for testchamber 17.

 

[lePobz]

Yeah, you're right ... but anyway... the companion cube?

 

[PvtRyan]

The companion cube is just a reskinned weighted cube most likely. I doubt it's a separate entity/model. Which means you won't be able to spawn it through the console.

 

[Kyorisu]

Correct the companion cube is merely another skin and uses the same model as the normal box.

skin0 = storage cube
skin1 = companion cube

 

[Para]

Which all means we can't bring it back by console god power. It's dead, we just have to face it...

 

[ríomhaire]

ent_fire !picker skin1
/
ent_fire !picker skin 1
?

 

[AciD]

A hammer power can bring back cube

 

[xennyth]

ent_fire !picker skin 1

This one works

 

[ríomhaire]

Bigger List:
Use sv_cheats 1 before using as they may not work without this activated.

fire_rocket_projectile = Fire Rocket

notarget = sentry guns/rocket turrets will not fire at you even if you stand directly in front of them

noclip = enables you to fly/go outside the level/walk through walls

fire_energy_ball = fires energy ball

sv_portal_placement_never_fail 1 = You can now shoot a portal almost anywhere

god = invicibility

upgrade_portalgun = upgrade from just blue to blue/orange

ent_create_portal_weight_box = weight box

ent_create_portal_weight_box THEN ent_fire !picker skin 1 = COMPANION CUBE!!!! w00t!!

you can also bind some of these codes by typing 'bind [key] [command]'
e.g.: bind r ent_create_portal_weight_box

now you can create hundreds of cubes just by tapping the 'r' key continously!!

Piccy:

ALSO, if you can't be bothered to traverse the 'guts' of aperture labs,

map escape_02 will bring you the nearest to GLaDOS but first you must defeat the sentry guns.

sv_portal_placement_never_fail 1 = You can now shoot a portal almost anywhere

Nice. Cheers. :cheers:

ah, but that don't tell you how to bind or change maps or notarget, does it?

 

[xennyth]

true, but those are old commands that any hl2 player who uses the console should already know anyways

I think your version is bugging, it's missing all the lightmaps and even the brightness seems to be unjustly jammed to 100%...

 

[cjohnson]

yes its a custom map and it looks strange if it isnt in this setting

he either has full bright on or he never added a light entity

 

[cjohnson]

yes I have mat_fullbright 1 on or I can't see anything because the level is REALLY bringht 1 second and dark the next.

 

[Para]

he either has full bright on or he never added a light entity

I was also nabbing at the fact that most people throw the brightness all the way to 100% and basically ruin most of the "dark corners and bright spots" graphical work done by level designers and artists.

and i use the 'dark corners' in the proper game. i will post a screenshot of the level w/out thewse settings on. As previously said, it's a custom map.

It wasn't nab at you personally, just a general troll nab.
