My theory is that since the gap is smaller that yourself, the tiny gap in between the portals is far too small to stand up in as well without actually making physical contact with yourself, however, since that was most certainly not supposed to happen at any time, the game kind of glitches out.
Only I could have explained that more professionally but you should be able to understand what I'm saying.
I read in a physics book that there's a theory that at the edge of the universe, it doesn't really end but instead just comes out the opposite end. Kinda like when Neo in the second matrix ran down the subway tunnel just to end up where he started.
Obviously you didn't hit the floor, but if you want to make it more obvious to people, then just do this on a "least steps" challenge map, and show that your steps did not increase.
Actually, this bug isn't so much of a bug at all, but...a really weird situation to stumble on. You're not actually bouncing up, you're standing ontop of yourself. So, that's totally fucking with the physics because in video games, characters (should) be created to be a solid object, which is why characters can't walk through other solid objects.
Check the ceiling. It's barely taller than Chell, thus with the almost nonexistant gap, she can stand on herself and fall simultaneously.
in valve physics it's always solid, what they do is make you body go through the map and teleport to the other portal. so that little stp thing u get may be your body or your just bouncing on the floor
@nitrohedgehog obviously you didn't get what rayman was trying to say... The portal itself is just an image.
Valve has certain constants... one of which being their games suddenly closing without warning...
But you are crouching and when you "un-crouch", it ignores the fact that there is a portal on the floor. It simulates you uncrouching on the floor, then the portal allows you to slip through it again.
@nitrohedgehog He's actually right, Primarily the physics object that is applied the the Chell model is in fact a basic cylinder which is slightly taller than the actual model itself. (72 units when standing) The height of the room itself is 128 units, meaning that when you pass through one portal to the other, you are left with no gap for more than two chells in the same room. You stand on yourself, and the physics engine calculates the friction between both models and slows the player down.
When you are going through the portal, you ARE hitting the surface. Inside the portal (which is a flat solid, in the game physics), is a 3d copy of the world, rendered. When you go through a portal, your character "hits" this wall, and as part of collision checking, notices "hey there is a portal here, teleporting", causing you to teleport. Because the engine sees the floor (and the portal) as a solid, some actions may have glitches.
...On top of that, you MAY be hitting the floor outside of the portal, as the Chells you are seeing are not you, but are separate models rendered in the copy worlds, and are not used for collision detection (she could get stuck, without hitting something, she could pass through solid objects, as those models are NOT solid, I have seen both happen)
In fact, I am pretty sure, except 3rd person mode, CHell's model isn't used for collision detection at ALL, rather, camera distance.
@nitrohedgehog Perhaps while crouching, the hit boxes on Chell's legs go farther out than the portal, and cause a slight tap which temporarily slows the player?
@digiangel234 you can't stand on your own head when the ceiling is higher than you, that's trollscience. you can't fuck yourself into the ass either because whenever you move your dick forward you also move your ass.
@digiangel234 but doesn't that mean that since she would be standing on herself then her own body prevents herself from falling? she's on a solid object (which is her) in which no other gap between her and herself is there thus preventing her from falling? I fucked my own mind!
debate? why? its justa an unexplained bug, like ragdoll bugs in halo 3 or bot bugs in gears of war 2. Maybe teabagging in mid air through portals are so strong it destroys gravity
@Player01198756 why? Gravity is a constant, you'd be accelerating at the same rate... well there is some marginal ammount of decelration due to wind resitance but you'd have more wind resitance crouched so maybe a tad slower that way.
no he has a point if there was no floor only a protal linking to the portal above all attoms iside the cylinder of the portal wouldnt be effected by gravity becuase there cant be gravity emited from above and below so the forces would cancel eachother out creating an equalibirum... *cough* i mean aint this game greait :D
Actually, I think what's happening here is that you're ducking, and the game is reading you as falling faster because you're ducking... except your "double" ... the one you see below you... is still falling at the same rate because it's not really you.. and you're bouncing off of your own head.
@frajeff91 That's plausible, but I think the room is too tall to support that idea.
In my opinion, as spliter88 said, but differently, I think that maybe if when you uncrouch, your model extends upwards. In doing so, the game thinks that you're going through the portal in the ceiling, causing it to push you up and thus slowing your speed.
Just a thought. I haven't looked at the mechanics of the game.
The distance from the ceiling to the floor is matched with the height of your body times 2. So when your legs go through the portal and touch your head you slow down.
This actually wouldnt work, it would actually create a zero G scenario, and the person would just float. because there is no actual ground, just a portal.
@nitrohedgehog no he hasa point if there was no floor only a protal linking to the portal above all attoms iside the cylinder of the portal wouldnt work becuase there cant be gravity emited from above and below so the forces would cancel eachother out creating an equalibirum... *cough* i mean aint this game greait :D
@pistolpete198069 actually, that's not true. An object that goes through a portal retains it's momentum. As the object falls into the portal, it gains a little momentum as it is pulled down. In the infinite loop scenario, it reappears above the lower portal with the same momentum as before, but continues falling down, so it gains a little more momentum before re-entering the portal. The object will gradually accelerate, just as if it were normally falling.
@pistolpete198069 I think the gravity would be added to itself and create a black hole... Or you got mashed to goo... But who cares, the game is cool anyway :-P
@pistolpete198069 After playing the game it is obvious that gravity acts through a portal such that one on the floor does not create a 0g area above it.
To put this simple and hopefulluy stop debate, this is not a bug, nor glich. When you go through one portal you come out the other. If you have one portal above you and you shoot one below you, you infinitely fall, untill you move towards the floor.
@smolskius spparently you are blind and deaf, with exception to the end, not with did i make contact with the floor, there was never an impact noise withe the floor.
if you have annotations turned off, then turn them on, otherwise you must be illiterate.
@nitrohedgehog I totally agree with you, I see it. But they have a point :-D I think you could kill yourself by falling through a portal for too long. In a 2-meter high ceiling, in 20 falls that would be 40 meters fall, assuming this is on Earth, the speed in vacuum would be fast. Can't remember now how fast exactly you'd fall, but barefeet? Ow.
Lol at first I thought to my self "Its not a bug! That would happen in real life!" (I would explain why but you might already have a clue) Then i noticed that you were right.
It's the way Source engine handles crouching that makes this bug, when you croach your height is halved, when you rise your height is doubled downwards instantly which makes you hit the ground even though you hit the portal first (the raycast test gave a false negative since it still things you're half the height and so you stop. The jump pack up is the result of portals actually pushing you forward a bit when you pass through and stopping in midair.
Look up terminal velocity. This person should be able to fall in this configuration at quite a high rate of speed. Of course, this could be considered a big problem with entropy since one could easily use such a thing to produce infinite amounts of energy (picture a paddle wheel positioned over the portal. Now pour water through. It falls past the wheel spinning it, goes into the portal and then hits the wheel again and again... viola, energy forever).. wow I must be really sleepy.
actually, one time on the platform in the last area, i used the infinite loop to get rid of the energy ball. when i made a new portal to get past the wall, i got hit with the energy ball.
Man one time I managed to make two orange portals. I was mesmerized, but I couldn't stop to marvel because I was being shot at by turrets from two different portals. Anyone else done that?
This is the way the Source engine slows the player down in an infinite loop to prevent overflow, since the maximum speed you can get in the Source engine is 110-120MPH. If you could fall forever, it would result in an overflow or a graphic crash. Just think about it, you're falling, gaining speed, until you hit a limit which is a no-go, and the game crashes. This solution is way better than crashing every time you gain too much speed.
@MokkaFergie actually it limits your speed just going through the portal. try loading a custom map that has a very tall platform to jump off of. i managed to fall much faster than i would in an infinite loop with the ceiling and floor in such close proximity. the bug here is when you crouch while passing through a portal, it stop you completely and pushes you back up. it would never do that if i never crouched.
@nitrohedgehog I believe is you are crouching and colliding against the clips of the level. Portals warp you but the clip of the wall/ floor is still there. Either crouching widens the player enough to be slowed by the clip or it interferes with the noclip properties of the wall.
@MokkaFergie i did it and i fall nonstop...no matter how long u fall, u never go past like...100 mph lets say...it goes on forever for me without stopping
@MokkaFergie thats wrong. Going too fast isn't going to crash anything. They way they limit your speed is the same way you hit terminal velocity falling out of the sky - a constant downward acceleration is eventually cancelled out by a relative friction force ie; velocity += gravity -> velocity *= friction. soon enough this reaches an equilibrium
what's happening is that when you're halfway through the floor portal and you crouch you change your hull size down and when you un-crouch you fly back upwards causing your hull to revert and go into the ceiling portal, causing you to fly upwards.
@GuitarManiacRocker how blind are you? this video isn't about an achievement. i doubt you are that stupid to miss a glaring red annotation AND the description...
@nitrohedgehog Hahaha. I'm not stupid, and yes, that has happened to me when it slows down and bounces up, the 2 portals are just on a different angle to each other. And no, I'm not trying to insult you like you said in your description, i didn't swear or be rude.
@nitrohedgehog yeh but he was trying too point out too you that its not a bug it was put there in case people get stuck in the infinite loop after getting the achievement do you even read the comment ?
lol, goin down through the firey rings make me think that we're fallin through the Apeture Science building, which has had something burn holes it the floors. =]
Also, rofl at all the tards arguing and insulting you. :3
Such a silly lil group.
This was pretty easy to solve had you any knowledge of computers. And I mean REAL computer knowledge. As in the programming kinda and having programmed a few games. Figure these sorta things out is always fun. X3
When you crouch, your hitbox shrinks, so when you stand back up, it enlarges, correct?
So, when you are close to a portal and stand up, you actually re-enter the top portal. Technically it's an unintended design feature of the engine. Not the physics engine, but how the hit-boxes and portals where designed. You touched the blue portal, which cause to appear to slow down and pop up in the yellow/orange one for a second before falling through.
@nitrohedgehog its a glitch and a bug its a glitch cuz u have to do it a sertin way and is heard a bug cuz the game will not know what to do next and u will be going in and out of portals that are not on the ground or the roof (thats what happend to me)
@TheHellwars Read the fucking discription, you must be fucking retarded its called a "Bug" and theres a big difference between bugs/glitches and Physics. I fucking hate retarded people like you.
@TheHellwars you shit pipe i'm studying phyisc in University, the only thing that crouching would do to ur terminal velocity would be because of air resistance, this is a glitch because valve has worked to make sure the "physics" in this game were partly accurate. yes there may be a differnce between a bug and a glitch but who cares people came to see the video not shittalk on the title.
@TheHellwars You see, a portal that connects two random points is not physics. It is science fiction since it has not been declared a fact or even remotely possible. So unfortunately, you are the fucking retard.
@nitrohedgehog I think "bug" might mean something of a higher magnitude, while "glitch" seems to be something that doesn't interfere? Or perhaps that bug actually refers to a problem in the software, while a glitch refers more to the obvious effects of said bug?
I know it's unimportant, but it did make me suddenly realize that I'm not consciously aware of the difference between a bug and a glitch.
If people are actually getting irritated with you over that, then ignore them, though, haha...

Look up terminal velocity. This person should be able to fall in this configuration at quite a high rate of speed. Of course, this could be considered a big problem with entropy since one could easily use such a thing to produce infinite amounts of energy (picture a paddle wheel positioned over the portal. Now pour water through. It falls past the wheel spinning it, goes into the portal and then hits the wheel again and again... viola, energy forever).. wow I must be really sleepy.

Wow! That totally is perpetual energy and destroys physics as we know it today. Good thing portals don't...

I think it's because you step on yourself's head in the portal space and be able to perform a jump.

actually, one time on the platform in the last area, i used the infinite loop to get rid of the energy ball. when i made a new portal to get past the wall, i got hit with the energy ball.

Man one time I managed to make two orange portals. I was mesmerized, but I couldn't stop to marvel because I was being shot at by turrets from two different portals. Anyone else done that?

This is the way the Source engine slows the player down in an infinite loop to prevent overflow, since the maximum speed you can get in the Source engine is 110-120MPH. If you could fall forever, it would result in an overflow or a graphic crash. Just think about it, you're falling, gaining speed, until you hit a limit which is a no-go, and the game crashes. This solution is way better than crashing every time you gain too much speed.
MokkaFergie 1 year ago 15
@MokkaFergie actually it limits your speed just going through the portal. try loading a custom map that has a very tall platform to jump off of. i managed to fall much faster than i would in an infinite loop with the ceiling and floor in such close proximity. the bug here is when you crouch while passing through a portal, it stop you completely and pushes you back up. it would never do that if i never crouched.
nitrohedgehog 1 year ago 6
@nitrohedgehog I believe is you are crouching and colliding against the clips of the level. Portals warp you but the clip of the wall/ floor is still there. Either crouching widens the player enough to be slowed by the clip or it interferes with the noclip properties of the wall.

@MokkaFergie i did it and i fall nonstop...no matter how long u fall, u never go past like...100 mph lets say...it goes on forever for me without stopping

@MokkaFergie thats wrong. Going too fast isn't going to crash anything. They way they limit your speed is the same way you hit terminal velocity falling out of the sky - a constant downward acceleration is eventually cancelled out by a relative friction force ie; velocity += gravity -> velocity *= friction. soon enough this reaches an equilibrium

what's happening is that when you're halfway through the floor portal and you crouch you change your hull size down and when you un-crouch you fly back upwards causing your hull to revert and go into the ceiling portal, causing you to fly upwards.
in other words, GABEN.

@nitrohedgehog Hahaha. I'm not stupid, and yes, that has happened to me when it slows down and bounces up, the 2 portals are just on a different angle to each other. And no, I'm not trying to insult you like you said in your description, i didn't swear or be rude.

@nitrohedgehog yeh but he was trying too point out too you that its not a bug it was put there in case people get stuck in the infinite loop after getting the achievement do you even read the comment ?

@TekranoXx you do know that you can just reposition one of the portals right? and if that can't be done somehow, you can move in the air.

@nitrohedgehog yep but i got stuck even doing both those things so i had too crouch and it slowed me enough too move a portal

This was pretty easy to solve had you any knowledge of computers. And I mean REAL computer knowledge. As in the programming kinda and having programmed a few games. Figure these sorta things out is always fun. X3
cryoworld1223 1 year ago
Lesse, let's apply some logic here.
When you crouch, your hitbox shrinks, so when you stand back up, it enlarges, correct?
So, when you are close to a portal and stand up, you actually re-enter the top portal. Technically it's an unintended design feature of the engine. Not the physics engine, but how the hit-boxes and portals where designed. You touched the blue portal, which cause to appear to slow down and pop up in the yellow/orange one for a second before falling through.

@nitrohedgehog its a glitch and a bug its a glitch cuz u have to do it a sertin way and is heard a bug cuz the game will not know what to do next and u will be going in and out of portals that are not on the ground or the roof (thats what happend to me)

ENDORPHINSAM 1 year ago
@TheHellwars you shit pipe i'm studying phyisc in University, the only thing that crouching would do to ur terminal velocity would be because of air resistance, this is a glitch because valve has worked to make sure the "physics" in this game were partly accurate. yes there may be a differnce between a bug and a glitch but who cares people came to see the video not shittalk on the title.

@TheHellwars You see, a portal that connects two random points is not physics. It is science fiction since it has not been declared a fact or even remotely possible. So unfortunately, you are the fucking retard.

maybe you bounce back up because you crouching slows you down and you probably hit your own head and that stops you and bounces you back

none really. some people just like to argue over petty differences while missing the point of the video.
nitrohedgehog 2 years ago
@nitrohedgehog I think "bug" might mean something of a higher magnitude, while "glitch" seems to be something that doesn't interfere? Or perhaps that bug actually refers to a problem in the software, while a glitch refers more to the obvious effects of said bug?
I know it's unimportant, but it did make me suddenly realize that I'm not consciously aware of the difference between a bug and a glitch.
If people are actually getting irritated with you over that, then ignore them, though, haha...
