also, just so you know. Google is a great way to help yourself too. I'm not trying to be an ass here. but i found the answer on my very first google search
"portal 2 see portals through walls"

and, just out of curiosity; Why would you want to hide them? I admit they are a bit weird seeing them the first few times (when you've played as much Portal 1 as me) but... curious why you'd want to hide them?

Maybe he want to take a screen-shot without any hints to place portals? Also, prop_portal(s) don't show "ghosting." I know you probably don't need to know that, but I had to throw that out.

i didn't ask why MasterLagger may not want ghosting portals. I can already figure out reasons why someone wouldn't. I asked why HE wanted to turn it off.

Why shoot portals if you're just taking screenshots, Masterlagger?

To take pictures in certain areas, of course portals wouldn't be necessary if the person knew the noclip cheat. It's what I did before using noclip and crosshair 0 to take pictures.

I was just throwing an idea out since Cybermaxke didn't post anything back yet.

why not do cl_drawhud 0 and r_drawviewmodel 0 instead to get rid of the portal gun as well?

Didn't know those either. Nice to know though.
