I won't be home for about 45 minutes or else I would.

Go go go!

wow, this looks interesting. i wish i had the SDK workaround working, i'd try it right now, as it is i'm in the same boat as you, sleeper (eagerly awaiting to see just what this is).

Just like the first portal that ever opens... func_liquidportal.

Life is like a pipe, it's hard to get through and you're not always guaranteed a happy ending.

I've been fucking with it for an hour and no luck. I wonder if it even works still.

It seems as though some of the portal entites are labeled as obsolete. Perhaps this is the case? I would love to work on this when I get home. I have been eyeing that entity in the entity list for awhile.

I ment to play around with it, but I just haven't had enough time. I work tuesday, but not wednesday. Darn work, can't my boss see all I want to do is to create content for Portal lovers? I've been meaning to get part 03 but I ended up doing voice recordings and puzzle design all last night. Almost got my first real puzzle map done and it looks very good so far. I think my competition entry will be the Portal: Quest for Cake demo.

My map series will be named "Post-Portal". The name speaks for itself. :wink:

A lot of entities are marked as "Obselete" since we don't have the real SDK update (I'm reminded of the HL2 beta days). Also, I don't think they would put the entity on the developer wiki if it either A.) doesn't already work to some degree, or 2.) don't plan on making it work in the future.

well, on a far side note, though still related, (i hope im not lynched for saying this) in UnrealED, theres plenty of features, particularly with lights, that are there even though they dont work. So just because its on there/in the entity list doesnt mean it necessarily works.

Liquid portal doesn't even have a choice so you can input its name so you can't even tell it to fill up or anything =/

Holy shit, someone try this right now
