patrick, an idea for an easier to use and cooler portal gun could be to shoot blue entrance projectiles and red exit projectiles as a secondary trigger. Should be that hard to modify to what you have

Just have it so if there is already a portal entrance/exit it replaces it

its not that hard, just add a second trigger and change the projectile of trigger 1 and tirgger 2 (im guessing you have 2 projectiles) add the second projectile to the second trigger and set the same speeds and other stuff, its not hard, i did it with a sniper rifle left click shoots reg sniper secondary shoots out needler cluster

so if i had all the tags and bsp and stuff for that map i could easily do and it and also patrickssj6, you should hex edit the name so its called Portal Gun not Plasma Rifle and mabye you can change the hud for the portal gun weapon

:D:D:D:D i just wanna do the secondary trigger thing if you would want me to help you

Patrickh · Post by **Patrickh** » Sun Dec 16, 2007 6:16 pm

mistyped, i meant shouldn't be that hard to do. But yeah, look into that... also, he doesn't need to hex edit to change it's name.

mal1t1a · Post by **mal1t1a** » Sun Dec 16, 2007 7:16 pm

well i find that hex editing is easy to do tho

**EDIT**

Oh and Patrickssj6, you should edit your first post at the beginning of the Topic, and add all the download links...ok?

Patrickssj6 · Post by **Patrickssj6** » Mon Dec 17, 2007 4:59 am

Actually we wanted to do that but...prim and sec projectile share the same memory space...an index somewhere only defines which one to shoot...

We didn't bother to look that up. The map is a Beta...the final one is going to have those bugs fixed.

How about the entrace/exit being marked with decals? Does it sync?

What are the balls? vehicles? Scenery? just curious :p

Patrickssj6 · Post by **Patrickssj6** » Mon Dec 17, 2007 5:58 am

Vehicles...scenery doesn't sync. Make sense because scenery doesn't move right? Wrong. xD

I mean the teleporters sync...and have you ever seen a map where the teleporters change location? ^^
