Just started mapping today - Picked up pretty fast, I think. At any rate, I made a very basic chamber, shouldn't take more than a minute to finish. Just a basic tractor beam puzzle If anyone would like to try and critique it, please do. I'm trying to make it into a multi-chamber map. Just tell me what you think of it so far, and anything I could add, such as props, items etc. to make it better. Thanks! I realize the door at the end is a bit messed up, still trying to figure out how to carve a hole, as the func_interwhatever model doesn't seem to work for me.

Here it is: http://www.mediafire.com/?cjub92q60wv5pxh
Just type 'map First' in console!

Nice for a first map. It is very easy, but better than anything I've ever made.

Better than most first attempts. Good puzzle and simple design.

Two things though:

- Put a cube map in front of the smashed glass, it will be make it look less weird.
- Water doesn't kill instantly so you can swim and jump across it at the moment.
