scripted portal exit
I'm having an issue with my map where simply looking a certain direction alters the exit arc from leaving a portal, which as a result either leads to acid or laser field. How can i make it so when exiting I can have the player travel a specific arc, similar to a faith plate.
Whatever you do, though, don't make it increase/decrease your speed by too much. Make sure it looks as natural as possible, and if possible, put the trigger_catapult right in front of the portal, so the launching is done during the transition between portals.
I can't seem to tell what speed I'm exiting the portal at, is there a console command that can display this info for me, or is it just trial and error? Also, when I have the threshold off to test the actual arc, it sends me in a more upwards direction despite the info_target being in a lower position (I do have it properly assigned under launch target), and the point direction button doesn't change the coordinates for launch direction. Will I have to adjust those number manually, or am I looking at the wrong properties?
EDIT: I also want to point out that the exit portal is on an angled panel.

It's in the wiki
