trigger_portal_cleanser

Code classes:

• CTriggerPortalCleanser
• CBaseTrigger (triggers)
• CBaseToggle
• CBaseEntity (all ents)

trigger_portal_cleanser is a brush entity present in both Portal games. It makes up the functional portion of a fizzler. Sometimes, this entity is also put over large areas of a map to erase portals arbitrarily. Entities must inherit CBaseAnimating to be fizzled.

Bug: The player's T-posed corpse is visibly dissolved when dying inside this entity.

Bug: Portal shot blocking is based on the entity's bounding box, causing diagonal or concave cleansers to block portal shots in cases where they seemingly shouldn't. Portal and object fizzling works as expected.

Keyvalues

Visible (Visible) <boolean> (only available in )

Sets if the fizzler is visible and audible.

Use Scanline (UseScanline) <boolean> (only available in )

Sets if the fizzler uses a scanline. (Small line that periodically goes down the fizzler.) Only works correctly on vertical, axis-aligned fizzlers.

Inputs

FizzleTouchingPortals  (only available in )

Makes portals inside the entity's volume fizzle.

Outputs

OnDissolve

Fires when an entity is dissolved.

OnFizzle

Fires when any number of portals were erased at once. The portal(s) must have a pair ID matching the ID of a weapon_portalgun held by a player who passed into the trigger in order to be erased. Also stops portal shots currently traveling in the air.

OnDissolveBox

Fires when an entity named box is fizzled.
