Hello i tried to not post this thread,i searched on youtube and google and in last level but that didn't helped a lot.

So what i want here is if anyone can FULLY explain me how to make portal +rep to one who solve this

Steps:

So this is all how i can explain and it is pretty hard for me and i know maybe no one will solve this :/

Just gonna say that you don't need to format your text like that. It looks better plain. Pretty hard to read when it's so bold that it's basically just a blob left.

I changed text sorry for that...

Ok, let's do this.

We're gonna need 2 areas.

Area1 = The area the player collides with.
Area2 = The area the player touches.

void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Area1", "BeginPortal", true, 1);

SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("Area2", "TouchPortal", false);
}

void BeginPortal(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
CreateParticleSystemAtEntity(string& asPSName, string& asPSFile, string& asEntity, bool abSavePS);
//Remember to create the different particle systems. I don't have the names here.

AddTimer("OpenPortal", 5, "PortalTimer");

SetEntityActive("Area2", true);
SetLocalVarInt("PortalOpen", 0);
}

void PortalTimer(string &in asTimer)
{
if(asTimer == "OpenPortal")
{
CreateParticleSystemAtEntity(string& asPSName, string& asPSFile, string& asEntity, bool abSavePS);
//Remember to create the different particle systems. I don't have the names here.

SetLocalVarInt("PortalOpen", 1);
}
}

void TouchPortal(string &in asEntity)
{
if(GetLocalVarInt("PortalOpen") == 1)
{
UsePortal();
}
else
{
GivePlayerDamage(1.0f, "BloodSplat", true, false);
}
}

void UsePortal()
{
//Do stuff when using portal.
}

Woooo easy dude easy
First i don't have model (or whatever is it) of portal inactive or something...
So i need PS and how that can help me
Other thinks are like wow thanks

The PS for the portal is orb_portal_open and orb_portal_something I don't remember the exact names.

CreateParticleSystemAtEntity(string& asPSName, string& asPSFile, string& asEntity, bool abSavePS);
//Remember to create the different particle systems. I don't have the names here.


Thistring& asEntity, bool abSavePS);

What to put there ?

asEntity is the entity where the particle system should spawn.

abSavePS should just be false.

Hmm?

It should look like this:

CreateParticleSystemAtEntity("", "orb_portal_begin.ps", "Area2", false);
