Portal Map Concept: The PortaPortal

[Potater757]

I get it, you could put it into places where you fling through but there are no portalable walls.

[zadhytia]

PortoCorsa

[cobchob]

PUT THEM IN FRONT OF EACHOTHER!

[aniretak92]

I want one of those for my room...

[APP2024]

test testa chambers!!!!

[KLIXORthe]

ited be cool if you could move the porta portal without the portal fizzing but that would create a plethera of paradoxes aliteration for the win

[ryderxf]

first i was like -.-' "Portal Portal what a shitty name i bet it is a shitty video, let's hate" then i was like O.o "Cool idea, lets thumb this up"

[TheGamerOfOptimism]

ITS A PORTALBLE PORTAL!



[aczom2]

What if you try to fire a blue portal?

[ddrmaxman]

IMAGINE ALL THE TESTING POSSIBILITIES!!!

[shlomi546]

what will happen if you put a this portal on a moving platfrom?

BTW this is so awsome!

[jakeycool8899]

@shlomi546 If you looked closely you'd see that the portal will fizzle when it's moved.

[penguin12123434]

Is it sad it took me a min to realize what you meant by Porta Portal XD

[davidmaximized]

What is the difference from this and the conversion gel?

[ashumon23]

It's Portalble

[SvenOkonomi]

Mindblowing concept. Combine this with flooded/zero gravity rooms, and we have portal 3. ;)

[aniretak92]

@SvenOkonomi LIKELIKELIKELIKE--oh, I can only like a comment once? DANG IT.

[MrLegoJoe]

but what if you shoot both portals, will it still turn on and make like a third portal?

[AydenMize]

THIS IS IMPORTALBLE!!!

[Deltrix4762]

this is the same as having a portable white surface. it only makes the game easier.

[javalin597]

This is an amazing idea! A movable portal surface, I'm ashamed I didn't think of it myself. Great concept!

[thatrandomgification]

oh so its basically a portible wall?

[OverseerThe]

umm, this is nice, but it looks like there's gunna ba a hell of a lot of glitches with it. besides, isnt this the purpose of the portal gun?

[AllynEntertainment]

It's a really cool idea but you would still have to haul around the portal gun. So might as well just have a dual portal device.

[Yoshisuperstar123]

What command gave you only orange portals?

[jarmps111]

Make a Portal 2 version!

[isforshooting]

wow brilliant! I kind of wish Steam had thought this up for the game before.

[MUSTDOS]

can you enter behind the portaportal?

[hk0O7]

Cool! :)

[Kapurod]

ГОГ :DD

[Shaeam]

Now we need a level where you have 2 of these and thats all.

[BlueBloodW0lf]

what would happen if you shot a portal on the moon and then shot another potal directly at someone? would they be consumed or something?

[nebnoswel]

@BlueBloodW0lf why don't you ask wheatley

[BlueBloodW0lf]

@nebnoswel i did he just went on about bananas for some reason.

[dotoro3]

portaportal...

port a portal :D

[ILikeSayingFTW]

What happens if you put an orange portal underneath it

[wuiyang]

the portaportal come in timmy and jimmy (nickelodeon) right?

[furno222]

porta porta porta porta portaportals!

[rockoman100]

Good. But science needs something more. Make the 3 portal gun, and get back to us.

[SystemError51]

Cave Johnson himself became an investor to invest in this product.

[bluuuuarrg]

how is this useful? :o

[winnermazda]

could be useful for portal 3 :D

[drytaffin]

Nice idea, maybe the player should be able to moce it with his body.

[TheGLaDOSvideoCore]

what would happen if you put a portal on the ground, then put the portaportal on top 0_0

[MargaretMcKissic]

@TheGLaDOSvideoCore

HL2.exe has stopped working...

[bigbuddy2932]

@TheGLaDOSvideoCore Opps... you divided by zero

[ZVZV9]

@TheGLaDOSvideoCore the portaportal will deactived becouse u cant move portals...

[lionax736]

@TheGLaDOSvideoCore holy hell... the universe has just exploded

[XazoTak]

@TheGLaDOSvideoCore The only time portals have ever moved was in the destruction of the neurotoxin vat.

[Trualdie]

@TheGLaDOSvideoCore Time paradox causing universe explosion in a radius of 60000000000000 miles

[Alagremm]

@TheGLaDOSvideoCore I think that would create a new universe.

[KLIXORthe]

@TheGLaDOSvideoCore the instance the portaportal moves in any way the portal on it will disapear rendering the lower portal blocked but other than your fatal error in computation; cool story bro, but then i took an arrow to the knee.

[MyScorpion42]

The community never ceases to blow my mind.

[Qvieo]

I think yes

[uploader109]

The big question is: Can we do this in Portal 2? #hmm

[Taras195]

NOW PUT ONE PORTAL INTO OTHER AND WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS!!!

[Chinese0Chicken]

@Taras195 It would instantly create unlimited mass, making a black hole that could destroy the entire everything.

So please don't do that.

[KudendarX007]

Rofl at 2:03 to 2:19.

[LuiDeca]

dear valve...

[ronathandaman]

The ASPIGG! (Known by the lab boys as "the ass pig.")

[ronathandaman]

@JollyToaster Read the description. It automatically turns itself off.

[JollyToaster]

what if u put the portaportal ontop of the orange portal so wen it opened it fell through itself?

[DrexelDragonO91]

Wow, the idea is so innovative. Yet, it seems easy to make. I don't think I'll need a prefab for this, but I will give you credit for the testing element if I use it. That is to say, I will only use it with your permission. So, do I have your permission?

[KingOfSandvich]

@DrexelDragonO91 Feel free to make one, but keep in mind that this is actually a lot harder than it looks. having it tell if it's placed correctly doesn't work, and going through/behind it is really glitchy. The second problem is fixed in my portal 2 version, but I still don't have any way to truly tell if the device is squarely on the ground and right-side-up my best option ended up being to only allow placement on func_brushes. So good luck, and I'll get a vid of my P2 version out soon.

[DrexelDragonO91]

@KingOfSandvich I'm just letting you know for future reference. I am deleting my old account and I am starting a new one. The account is named ProgrammingProdigy. My maps and other customization stuff can be found there.

[G3org3Master]

@KingOfSandvich im sure there must be some way (definetly in code) for it to tell you an object has frozen.. looks difficult well done anyway.

[myshcoolaccount]

@KingOfSandvich can you put the porta portal withing the orange portal?

[bobbymonboy]

@KingOfSandvich dude. i want to know what happens if you take the portaportal, and put it into the other portal, WITH THE PORTAL ON THE PORTAPORTAL!

[biglippy36]

@KingOfSandvich Isn't it just an entity with the model changed?

Like, it can be a carriable wall-type thing entity with it's model changed?

[gmoddera]

Glados will be amaized for the new testing element :D

[GuitarFREAK9700]

This is amazing. Prefab?



[KingOfSandvich]

@GuitarFREAK9700 Maybe, but probably for Portal 2 instead of Portal 1. There is an entity for P2 called linked_portal_doors that is more adjustable. I'm still experimenting with it, so I might use either that or the regular portal system.

[GuitarFREAK9700]

@KingOfSandvich Yes, I also have played around with those. Made a tardis :P

Yes a prefab in any game would be amazing! :)

[HumorisLogical]

Also, when can we expect to see this released as a map?

[KingOfSandvich]

@HumorisLogical I'm not sure if I'll ever incorporate and release this. Maybe I'll make something like this for Portal 2, since its portal code is probably more robust and will hopefully be less glitchy. For now, it's just an idea I put together into a semi-working device.

[motanium]

That is one of the cleverest testing elements Ive seen.

[HumorisLogical]

Excellent work. Is there a way to make it so you can shoot blue and orange portals on it instead of it making the blue portals for you?

[KingOfSandvich]

No. I made sure that the portal closes as soon as the base is moved. This means that there can't be an open portal for the device to travel through when the device is traveling at all. Before I had made the I/O robust, I could put it on top of a portal and push it down. It would close too late, and the upper parts of the device would be stuck on the other side. This thing contains a lot of invisible stuff to make sure it works right.

[OwnageFish]

Thats a pretty neat concept, but can it go through portals itself?

[macic666dp]

Now try putting it INSIDE a Portal.

I SOOOO want to know what happens. :(

[WhiteyMcFly1]

All hail the portaportal.
