Forum | Thinking With Portals

#1 · April 7, 2008, 6:05 am

So I decided to investigate on closing portals. Ive played with the Gmod 9, and gmod 10 portal guns and R closes portals, I think it was the same with the sourcemod ExitE.

So I wanted to do it in Portal, and I did, so Put this into your Config
bind "r" "ent_remove_all prop_portal; play weaponsportalgunportal_close2.wav;

You can change the Closing sound as well if youd like

I dont know if it will work if you type it in console, I forgot the console command to bind it so youll have to add it to your config, Other wise ENJOY

I think you're missing an end quotation there. Also, does this require sv_cheats 1 to work?

Well, there is one problem here, I believe: doesn't this close all of 'em, including autoportals?

Re-open the Portal in the very next command so that the user never notices it's gone?

Re-open the...?

Then what's the whole point of closing the portal in the first place?

reopen the autoportals IE the ones the play has no control over.

I was sure there is already a bind to close user placed portals

/me shoots off to portal to see if he is right

EDIT: /me is devistated to find he is wrong

Well, hard to explain, But sometimes when Im doing a puzzle, I want to place a portal under a combine ball and not have it go through another portal, so I close the portals, Place the portal, then Ill place the portal I need at the right time

does it need end quotations or not?

cant you add a command to make the autportals reopen? so it also does that when doing "R"? i guess it would be possible but i dont know ... i never config scripted b4 xD i made a pistol script for cs once.

if you could i got an idea to cheat using the script xD in the lvl
