Use a point_servercommand with hud_saytime 0, sv_cheats 1, [cheats], sv_cheats 0.

ok so that worked, but is there a way to keep sv_cheats changed to 1 from appearing on the screen?

Why would you want to change the linkage id?

in that thread you said to use the command setlinkagegroupid how exactly is it use, and is it any different from setting both bots' linkage id to the same thing?

The main difference is it isn't a cheat command and it is an actual Output you can use from a portalgun.

i cant seem to get the prop_portal to link to the portal gun so when you shoot the portal gun the edited prop_portal appears not the normal one. how do you do this

Change the linkage. It needs to be 0 iirc for the player's gun to link up to it.

linkportals.vmf

• When a player fires the portalgun, it looks for a newly created prop_portal.
• It renames the prop_portal so then it can change the linkage id.
• It changes the classname of the portal so it is no longer a prop_portal.
