Night Turn (Coop)

**Tips & hints are available in this description, just scroll down a bit. **

A typical night at Aperture Laboratories: Everyone went home, test chambers are offline for maintenance and the night guard has to do its turn. But this night... the night guard is ill! So the workers chose you two to do this job. By performing this turn, you have to go through 7 different test chambers, containing 8 different puzzles, most of them requiring some moves or actions you normally do not need to do . The map's difficulty is increasing with your progress, starting at medium difficulty. I tried to keep the chambers tidy and to show everything you need for the solution from the very beginning, so there are neither a big exploration skill nor ninja skills required, only clever thinking (and maybe out-of-the-box...).

Map difficulty: Raising, starting at Medium (in total: 8/10) Estimated time to complete: 45 to 75 minutes

If you cannot find a partner for playing this map in a 2 player coop, you can play this map in split-screen mode by doing this:

1. Open the developer's console.
2. Type "ss_map mp_coop_night_turn_v1". Now the map should start.
3. Then type "sv_cheats 1". This enables the following steps.
4. Type "BindToggle R in_forceuser". Now you can change the controlled character by pressing R.
5. There you go! Now you can play this map in split-screen mode! If you want to rate the map afterwards, rate it in the workshop below the map's picture! Note: If you know the map's name (which is always mp_coop in the beginning), then you can play every coop map in split-screen mode in this way. Just type "ss_map [insert map name here]" and do the next steps.

I hope you enjoy this piece and have fun!

Feel free to comment and rate, but I would really like to know your oppinion about this map! In case you downvote the map, I would love to hear why / what you disliked. That's the only way for me to improve my map(s)!

Update 16th April 2013: I fixed 2 overlapping sounds and a few visuals. Update 18th April 2013: I removed a few voice lines of GLaDOS which I thought do not perfectly fit.

If you find any bugs, glitches or visual mistakes (or if you have an idea how I can improve this map), please tell me about it! Constructive criticism is best feedback a map maker can get!

**Tips & Hints if you're stuck somewhere: ** Chamber 1: Use the loop.

Chamber 2: Going through doors is not the only way to leave the room. Take a look at the broken glass. Maybe you can break more of it?

Carry the disc up through the 3 emancipation grids.

Transition to 3: Keep in mind that you do not fall if at least one of your feet is still in the portal.

Chamber 3 (probably the most difficult one): Don't use the loop. Instead, try to longer the faith-plate shoot somehow. Later on, you should try to enter the faith plate from different sites.

Chamber 4: It's about right angles and keeping the emancipation grid disabled.

Chamber 5: It's an action puzzle. Portal placement and moving at the same time is required.

Chamber 6: Remember that you do not need to grab items while flying in the funnel with them.

Chamber 7: Remember what GLaDOS said: There's an emancipation grid at the end of each test chamber. This one is broken. Do not take anything with you!

If you want to play another coop-map, feel free to try out my other coop-maps if you like to, e.g.: Reparation Forces (Coop) is a map which starts kinda hard and then ends up with medium puzzles. The estimated time for it is 30+ minutes.

Deep Down (Coop) is an underground themed coop map that is rather short (approx. 10-20 minutes). However, the length is compensated by a really challenging difficulty.
