I'm remaking Portal on the Portal 2 engine, and I can't seem to get npc_rocket_turret to work (it's just a big error even though the model is in the model viewer), and energy ball launchers (it's just a checkerbox thingy.

You'll need to copy the assets (models, materials, and sounds) to the portal 2 directory (or your mod directory). I've gotten energy balls to look and sound right by doing this.

And, how do I do that? Everything for the energy ball launcher works except for the actual ball, soooo, is it a sprite or what?

It's a material.
materials/effects/comball/comball.vtf
materials/effects/eball_finite_life.vmt
materials/effects/eball_infinite_life.vmt

I also needed to copy the sounds to hear it.
sound/weapon/physcannon/...

I'm sure you can find the stuff for the rocket turret too.

well if you can fix the energy balls why not try the rocket turret i've found ways to get it 50 percent fixed but now its just an inanimate light orb that doesnt seem to be phased by portals or physics so it just sits there not even aiming

If this project is still active (remaking P1 in P2) then please PM me, I'm interested in contributing some stuff.
