How do you make it so that when I fire a portal towards a 128x128 wall it places itself in a certain way? The area is big enough to place two portals on, but no matter where you shoot the first portal is supposed to place itself in the middle.

I've gone through some entities and couldn't find something like it. Am I supposed to use brushes in a certain way?

That's the one! Thanks!

Close the thread if you guys do that sort of things

The entity has a bunch of arrows of different colors. The thick red arrow points towards the top of your portal, so just place the entity flush with the brush with that arrow pointing in the direction your portal will go.

Also, remember to manually input the angles into the X Y Z in the properties. If you try to rotate it by hand, your portals might be at weird angles slightly and screw up your puzzle.

This is an image to show how I use them:

Actually, there is, but it's a brush entity. I believe its func_portal_placement or something similar.
