and, just out of curiosity; Why would you want to hide them? I admit they are a bit weird seeing them the first few times (when you've played as much Portal 1 as me) but... curious why you'd want to hide them?

Why shoot portals if you're just taking screenshots, Masterlagger?

To take pictures in certain areas, of course portals wouldn't be necessary if the person knew the noclip cheat. It's what I did before using noclip and crosshair 0 to take pictures.

i didn't ask why MasterLagger may not want ghosting portals. I can already figure out reasons why someone wouldn't. I asked why HE wanted to turn it off.

I was just throwing an idea out since Cybermaxke didn't post anything back yet.

why not do cl_drawhud 0 and r_drawviewmodel 0 instead to get rid of the portal gun as well?

Didn't know those either. Nice to know though.
