Hammer Tutorial 29 - Box Dropper From Portal 1 As A func

Uploaded February 2023 | Updated September 2026, 18 hours ago

Hey everyone and welcome to another Hammer tutorial! In this video, I outline how to create the box dropper from Portal 1, but use it as a func_instance and I showcase a way to make it spawn either regular or companion cubes. I know this video goes on longer than it should have and the box dropper has some issues that I couldn't resolve, apologies for this! Please let me know what you think and I hope you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching.
