In regards to this video - www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ne59X-e-R9YI would like to know how you were able to make the areaportal with no door. In the video, I'm talking about 4:00 to 4:12. Thanks. |

just make an area portal brush in the frame, and make it a func_areaportal.
It's more efficient to make one linked with a door, so that the areaportal opens and closes with the door, to reduce the amount of work the computers have to do. Having one like above would lead to it always being open, and therefore always running calculations.

I notice that all the good maps (3rd party)a maps dont have func_doors to open and close with APs. So they just have the AP there but with no door. Fair enough. |

As said, its better to be linked with a door so there's less calculations being done while door is closed.
Just.. don't have like a dozen all within sight of each other...

UPDATE:
I downloaded L4D "Authoring" Tools - they use TONS of AreaPortals that aren't linked to doors. I was in complete shock and awe.
Also, the hour I spent viewing official L4D maps, I've learned more about optimization than the past 4 months!
