Portal Chambers under Water

Page 1 of 2Next

I just came up with a extremely odd idea, that I thought would be very cool. A portal map underwater.

Not actually swimming though. Would this owrk in real life? Absolutely not. Basically a bunch of test chambers under the ocean, with different rooms that you Portal across to.

Example. Your in one room, with a box. Across a few feet theres another chamber, shoot a portal through a penetrable wall, to get to the next. Maybe like a plasma wall like in the TFV Mappack that keeps water out.

Would require some texture fiddling, but possible.

I've been experimenting with that, and it's extremely difficult to create an underwater-side effect (like what you can see through the windows in Bioshock) in Source. But like I said, I'm experimenting with it.

hahaha when I heard this, I thought of Bioshock, then I was like wait a second. Bioshock + Portals = win?!?!?!?!

'Do not submerge the device in liquid, even partially.'

Be advised that any noticable taste of blood isn't part of any test protocol. But is an unintended side effect of the Hand-Held-High-Energy-Pellet.

Well, it seems fine if you drown in toxic goo and you can see the gun through the death cam.

It eletrecutes you. That's my idea of why the goo even harms you.

It's green and gooey. It has a green fog appearing from it. The device electrocuting me is the last thing I'm worried about when I drop into it.

Yeah, I always assumed it was acid or something similar.

Check and Mate. I agree, btw.

EDIT:I think I'll kidnap this idea and use it... wait, that would totally f**k up my planned maps... *cursesquietly*
