I'm creating a single player map and I need to change the colour of prop_portal to something other than orange/blue. If I could use the co-op colours that would be perfect. Alternatively if I could change the player portal gun to a different colour set.

I don't think it's possible by default, but any ideas for a workaround? I'm OK with modelling new ones if that's what it takes.

maybe you could just change the RGB properties in the menu? I havent tried it, but it might work.

Doesn't that require cheats enabled?

decompile the fake portal rings model, change the texture and color, and recompile it and use it in your map.
and use world portals.

That changes the link, not the color.

***EDIT: I made a demo map for you.***

Thanks for that spongy. Very nicely done.

I'm playing around with it. One problem is the surrounding texture sometimes disappears at certain angles making the full square portal visible.

This is one of the drawbacks of faking portals. And one of the glitches of world portals. That's why I recommend you to use it when the player's near it, and once.
