NPC's walking through portals

Video of the G-Man walking through a portal in a custom map. Check out http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/NPC_use_of_Portals for a tutorial on how to do it and http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Portal_Level_Creation for a list of other Portal mapping tutorials.
Basically, make the NPC (G-Man in this case) walk along a path of path_corner entities. Place one behind the entrance portal with a trigger there to make the NPC cancel his walking, and another path_corner behind the exit portal with a trigger there to make the NPC walk to the next edge after the exit portal.

[gabrielistheboss]

so thats how he dissapears so quickly

[Atomicramen]

@gabrielistheboss haha thats a real possibility. maybe chell and gordan hook up in half-life 3 and or portal 3!

[Slade95594]

This is NOT gmod,he spawned Gman with the console.

[Atomicramen]

@Slade95594 Not quite, this isn't gmod or Console. This is a custom map I made in Hammer with the gman spawned at map creation. It would otherwise be impossible to give him a path to walk on.

Are you scripting him to move to through the portal?

[Atomicramen]

@tehSuperJedi well i'm entity properties in the map editor hammer. theres a link to the map download page in the link to the tutorial i made in the description.

[machiner6]

you may be right. There are two instances where G-man uses portals at black mesa - one in HL1, the other in Opposing Force.

Hit him with Energy ball

[breakerboy365]

@Atomicramen he didnt say its on console, he said u used THE console

[OwnageFish]

That is an amazing thing you did there! I thouht NPCs couldnt go through portals, they wouldnt do it for me, even when I was working in the hammer editor. Anyway, nice job!

[Ldinos]

can you help me? I want to do an energy orb.....how can i do it??

[MeGaEdIIToRMaN]

@Atomicramen Lol and i was thinking he really goe's through the portal....

Nice job...

Thumb's up if u want that Npc's are would be able to go through portals in portal 2!!! :D

@TehhCake it does , but very buggy versions of it , i heard that Garry is trying to make a deal with valve to give him the extra hidden coding in steam , so he will make a normal portal gun for everyone
