Diversity Vent Wall

Is there any way to make a wall getting sucked into a portal (and into a diversity vent) as seen in

Yes,
All you need is a lot of func_physboxes and a func_portal_detector

Then make an output when the portal is fired on a specific place, the physbox will be enabled to be sucked into the vent

I'd also suggest using a few hinges to get the flapping effect. That's what I used here:

It hadn't occurred to me to use a portal detector. I guess that beats setting all the physboxes to sleep and clipping the player.
