Is there a way to portal on a light bridge, like putting conversion gel on it and you can portal on it,
And is there a way for a light bridge to come out with gel, it will extend and more gel comes out?

No, not without custom programming anyway. Although it seems could be a neat idea I can imagine it could also be buggy and isn't really consistent with being able to shoot portals through bridges anyway.

I don't understand what you are asking here, do you mean having the emitter come out of the gel dispenser, or making gel drip from the bridge itself?

Ok, I need to program the first one
For the second one, I mean that the light bridge comes out with gel already on it, no need to paint it.

I remember a thread about this... post39612.html?hilit=gel%20light%20bridge%20conversion#p39612 Search before your post or you would be like this guy.

Again to reiterate: putting portals on a lightbridge is impossible unless you can fake it using an invisible portable texture. Though you would have to limit what areas the lightbridge can be placed to be covered by the gel and/or be activated by a func_portal_detector (Coop mode only for detector as you would need at least 4 portals to have any effect).

Anyway, is there still a way to get gel on my light bridge automatically?

Not unless you are a massively awesome programmer who has access to the game code.

I recommend using a panel and a fling, you aren't going to get white paint to work with light bridges.

look at my post in the thread i started then i did not find any thing useful and you may use the solution i used post60947.html#p60947 the only bad with that solution is that you cant shot throe the layer but that is a small price to pay
