Forum | Thinking With Portals

#1 · July 22, 2011, 9:46 pm

I found this animated gif of a guy getting "squashed" between two moving portals.
Took me sec to figure out if there actually would be any space between there.

Would love to see this happen in a level. I know moving portal surfaces are possible, but are beyond my beginner mapping skills. Not sure how the game mechanics would actually react.

Interesting though

How did you create a surface which doesnt remove the portal as soon as it starts moving?

sorry for going off topic...
