yes, it could. I've been trying for a while to come up with one that looks cool for my mod but I haven't gotten any good ideas yet.

I didn't know that was possible. I always thought it was some kind of continuous particle.

Actually, light bridges use the material "effects/projected_wall" and "effects/projected_wall_rail". You can actually apply it to a brush, but the animation is a bit too fast. There's also a bunch of materials for funnels.

The same could be done to light bridges.

I actually created a light bridge out of brushes with modified versions of textures once, but I didn't realize you could actually manipulate a real one (though then again, if I had a modified version of the texture I must've seen it done before. I think it was in Felix's SoT). What part of the game files, if at all, need to be modified? Judging by what TeamSpen said, it would be a matter of replacing the texture it uses, right?

You'd probably want to make modified versions of the particles too - the "projected_wall_impact" particle appears at the end of lightbridges and when it passes through portals. (This particle actually isn't preached properly by the projector entity, causing brief lag when turned on; put a particle system with this property somewhere to prevent this. Valve probably didn't notice since they very rarely/never have bridges/lasers/funnels not always running.)

It's done by adding a pak file, in the update folder. Ofc, if I were to release a map with this, you'd have to replace your own pak01_dir file.

I sort of cheated in that map--the colored light bridges (which are all conveniently pointed at non-portalable walls) are just prop_dynamic emitters with togglable func_brushes and particle systems in front of them.

Looks awesome

Wait did you actually manage to get a Caroline model in, or is that shopped? (I know how to get hl2 humanoids into portal 2 but I've never seen a Caroline 3d mesh)

Caroline is added by PS

Some extended relaxation chambers i'm working on. Might be an intro for a map or something.

More pictures.

Any feedback greatly appreciated !

It looks good.
could use more stuff in the sky, right now it looks...weird. just a big white light right now; but if more light actually came down from there it might look pretty good.

A far better gravity gun than anyone has ever managed to create in Portal 2, including all 15+ of my previous versions.
still needing fixing:
-viewmodel is a bit too large
-might tweak the draw animation
-drop sound

stop right there: you seem to have forgotten that i told you this; and that these were modified from when i first did it. credit where it's due.

My apologies. I was rushing when I posted the video and must have forgotten to add it. Also, I made the textures from scratch. Not modified from yours, just to clear things up.

The gravity gun looks very nice! Does it still fire through walls?

sadly, yes. I'm not good at all at scripting, so I can't do much of the whole tracing beams or whatnot.

perhaps taking a look at the sendificator could help with that. it works the same way, all you'd need is to have the firing outputs not fire onto an object if the beam doesnt touch it through the wall.

and now for something i made for the iris initiative:


the transporter and a video it plays, plus this update.

fun fact regaurding the scenic video:
it's actually footage from somewhere in mexico that i took while i was there.

Yea I tried modifying the sendificator script but I can't really get anything from it.
