Cube Funnel

• A set of vphysics clips to guide a cube/ball into a button
• It should take up 128x128x64 units as an octogonal cone
• Have a player trigger 3³ blocks around it to prevent players from noticing it easily.
• The model should have the cone shape as either editor/glass or a wireframe, with the the trigger as an thin block ~16 units high at the base.

This would be useful for one of my maps, where you have to drop a cube onto a button, but it will often miss.

An invisible variant of this would be super useful for maps where you have to drop a cube onto a light bridge (ex. Perambulation)

of course then you'd have to figure out how to place it free-floating which is always super fun in PTI lol. Not sure if extending the piston platform base is possible, or you could use the Angle property as a distance selector (like the custom fields from way back in the day, when they didn't extend the barrierhazard thingie)

I don't understand the desire/need. Placing a funnel over a button and then placing the dropper 1 voxel to the side with an angled block or angled panel below it works fine. Here's an example: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=772385098

You can even add a timer to the spawning button so the funnel only stays on long enough to place the cube like in this map by Jade BGE: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=527583403

The same can be done easily onto a light bridge.

This is more general, as an item to adjust flung cubes. That's a rather large contraption, and wouldn't fit in most cases.

This has basically been replaced by the trigger button.
