Portal Gun

A gun that lets you teleport? yes.

 

Shooting through the portal or seeing the other side or standing between or changing orientation or putting portals into the roof or expecting not to get stuck 90% of the time, or the "portal jumping". a definite NO. The engine is not suited for that.

A bit amuesing that someone suggest this as I played through Portal yesterday :biggrin: .

 

I remember in commentary mode that in the Source engine it at first took around a half second for the portals to calculate how to interact with each other, that means that you will easily see this and it looked quite bad so they modified it for months so it took 10 milliseconds.

In the Fallout engine however it would be as close to impossibile you can come.

 

Also looking through a portal and mirror yourself would probably crash the game. Because in Portal they worked a long, long time to make objects render in the other portal, creating sort of temporary copies.

 

I can't see this happen, it takes hardcore programming. But well if someone wish to try I won't say no.
