Motanum's Portal Mapping Questions (And some answers) Thread
I can shoot through elevator doors! How do I make it so it looks like Valve's? I tried Invisible, no draw and noclip. And it doesnt work =(
In testchamber_05 that comes with the sdk, it is just a simple invisible brush :S Im confused!
99% done with 2 out of 3! Overall 65%
I'm a bit too lazy to boot up the SDK right now, but I'll take a stab. I think your elevator door model is non-solid (it's sent a disablecollision input just before it opens and an enablecollisions input just before it closes again). I believe the invisible brush is called something along the lines of crazyplayer, and its solidity is enabled when the player enters the elevator (about midway back, in fact) to prevent the player from quickly jumping back and getting stuck in the elevator doors model just as the solidity is reenabled.
Hope this helps a bit.

Ohh, alright. I didnt know I had to re-enable collision of the door models! Thanks!

No problem, glad I got the issue right.
For the record, that really bugs me. Why doesn't the collision model follow the actual model? I suppose it's not all that important with something that moves but won't be accessible often (in which case you probably won't need a collision model at all), but with something like a set of doors it seems rather important.
Now with 100% more inline comments!
They probably did that for two reasons:
- from a collision point of view, the door is never "partially closed" so players can't get stuck if they decide to step back at the wrong moment;
- there needs to be only one collision volume for both doors, which is cheaper on CPU resources.
(BTW bullet lists don't seem to work? When I just use [list] it does nothing.)

Guys, I am using the Weapon_playerstrip entity to strip of the player's portal gun.
I use "Onpressed>!activator>strip> >0.00
Still, Chell doesn't really get stripped (I know, very sad). She just lowers the portal gun down.
Yeah, you cannot shoot portals, but it looks bad. How can I really take away Chell's portal gun?
Thanks!

You need to use trigger_weaponstrip in Portal.
