Catapult Angles
I've had this problem in the past and I just ignored it, but this time I cannot. I am using a catapult trigger on the floor, and it catapults you into the ceiling above you. I put the catapult target way above the ceiling also. Now I need precision here, so when I hit the trigger not straight on, I fly slightly to the left or the right, when I exit the portal. How can I fix this. I was thinking about adding another catapult on the exit portal side, but that just causes more problems. Is there a way to either catapult you straight up 180degrees only, or a way to fix the angle you are going while in mid air?

I guess you could try having invisible func_brushes that are enabled when the catapult is triggered that funnel you correctly to the portal. Or the same thing funneling you directly as you leave it...depends on your map I suppose. Anyway, just a suggestion, it should work, but could be a bit buggy.
I think in terms of boolean variables. Generally, it makes things easier.
Works well enough for what I'm trying to do. A thank you.

no worries, glad I could help.

there is a option in catapult`s proprietes calld "apply angular impulse". Try setting that to no maybe it will work
Forget about the point_target entirely, and use the catapult angle field. I THINK that would work, but I'm not 100% sure - players who have manually disabled portal funnelling will have a really hard time with it.
