You can, that's how I did the colorful effects in Multiportal. Those are prop_dynamics tracking the positions of the portals.

I placed two prop_portals in valid positions in a nodraw_portalable box, then used a script to make two prop_dynamics track them.

// FelixGriffin's brand new FOUR PORTAL DEVICE! Get it while supplies last!
// Requested by UsCobra11

printl(&quot;Original Model: &quot;+EntityGroup[0].GetModelName());
printl(&quot;Original Model: &quot;+EntityGroup[1].GetModelName());
EntityGroup[0].SetModel(&quot;models/effects/fakeportalring_color1.mdl&quot;); //Not really necessary anymore, but it hides them well.
EntityGroup[1].SetModel(&quot;models/effects/fakeportalring_color2.mdl&quot;);

printl(&quot;ASHPD4: Models Set!&quot;);

function alert(i){
&nbsp; &nbsp;switch(i){
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;case 1:
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;printl(&quot;ASHPD4: Red Placed!&quot;);
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;EntityGroup[2].SetOrigin(EntityGroup[0].GetOrigin());
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;local temp = EntityGroup[0].GetAngles();
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;EntityGroup[2].SetAngles(temp.x+90,temp.y,temp.z);
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;EntFireByHandle(EntityGroup[2],&quot;Enable&quot;,&quot;&quot;,0,null,null);
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;break;
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;case 2:
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;printl(&quot;ASHPD4: Orange Placed!&quot;);
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;break;
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;case 3:
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;printl(&quot;ASHPD4: Blue Placed!&quot;);
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;break;
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;case 4:
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;printl(&quot;ASHPD4: Purple Placed!&quot;);
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;EntityGroup[3].SetOrigin(EntityGroup[1].GetOrigin());
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;local temp = EntityGroup[1].GetAngles();
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;EntityGroup[3].SetAngles(temp.x+90,temp.y,temp.z);
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;EntFireByHandle(EntityGroup[3],&quot;Enable&quot;,&quot;&quot;,0,null,null);
&nbsp; &nbsp;}
}

Put this in scripts/vscripts/fg/four_portal_gun_start.nut. For the logic_script, EntityGroup 0 and 1 should be the portals, and EntityGroup 2 and 3 the models. The ALERT function places the portals and writes what happened to the console.

It shouldn't be too hard to change for trigger_pushes.

oh dear god not the scripts. (o_o)

I killed my last computer with scripts. Terrible things happen when I do scripts. Terrible things.

I might save this data for later use
