Portal Guns "setAsPortalLink" output event.

[Lugnut]

Alright, so I wanted to make a crappy portaly thing, kinda like stargate, but not quite.
Such as, having two bricks spawn portals, and link them together.
so to do this, I have two named bricks in front of me. shoop da whoop.
I click one, it spawnProjectile s a blue and orange portal at two place. whoo hoo.
They don't link.

You'd think I ask tough questions or something.


Where's Regulith or Space Guy when you need em?

[Lugnut]

Bump.

[Space Guy]

You can't link two separate bricks together, that event is for linking a player's Blue portal to a brick's orange one. Try doing clever things with Raycasting, then portals from the same brick will be linked.

[Lugnut]

Basically all I want is teleporters, but with your portals.

[Space Guy]

You could have one brick spawn an orange and a blue portal projectile at high speed to hit the walls you want them to teleport between.

SETPLAYERTRANSFORM

[Lugnut]

Thats the one problem.
The places (namely, bedroom main floor, and the cellar thing underneath the bedroom) I want to reach are separated by a wall.
Can't shoot through walls, or can I?
No, Setplayertransform isn't what I want, It doesn't transfermotion and stuff like the portals do.

[Kyzor]

Oh, but it can transfer motion.
Example:
onActivate->[NAMED BRICK]->setPlayerTransform->[Player](right here there's a little checkbox. Check it. The event is now transferring motion.)

[Lugnut]

Yes, But say I make a 1X12X5 brick. I have it, and another, the target, at a 90 degree angle to it. Does it transfer position?

[Lugnut]

Wrong question. Lemme bemore specific, It doesn't transfer motion and position like spaceguys portals do.

[Lugnut]

WAIT! I HAS IDEA!
What if, I made a brick, it fired a orange portal, and  setAsPortalLinked it to the players portal gun. The player then fires a BLUE portal onto a brick, and viola, link!

Fail.

[Lugnut]

Help? Please?

If you use Rotondo's updated setPlayerTransform, it can save both your velocity and position relative to the brick you activated it on. If you make some kind of "elevator" room with a 16x16F base, you can have it teleport you to that position in an identical room for a seamless teleport.

Alternately, you could fire non-linked Portals at the two walls from different bricks and then have events on both to teleport you to a brick near the other one facing outwards (e.g. one North, one South), then use setVelocity to fire you outwards.
