prop_portal

Code classes:

• CProp_Portal
• CBaseAnimating (models)
• CBaseEntity (all ents)

prop_portal is a point entity present in both Portal games. This entity is a portal. Shot from a weapon_portalgun.

Warning: Removing one through methods such as Kill may crash the game. Instead, use Fizzle or SetActivatedState 0 to remove portals.

Bug: If a portal is told to activate while another portal with the same pair ID and color is open, that second portal's color will change and its particle effect will be bugged.

Portals should be placed facing the exact angle of their surfaces, or they may not open, or appear clipped. Portals should also be within a few units of their surface, otherwise movement may look odd, or they might not open at all. Portals also need enough valid space on their surface in order to open.
