Portal gun for Gmod!!! (MUST SEE)

I downloaded it and it works awsome once you figure out how it works:D
 
Looks very promising from the video, downloading it now.
 
im really tempted, but ill hold off and wait for my first p0rtal experience to be with the main game....not with a modded gun. pretty cool to know that the current source engine is able to do this, and it doent require some type of improvements.
 
Not entirely Brim. The modded gun is only one way, your more "teleported". It basically works by setting up 2 cameras and then moving the character at one point to another.
 
It functions more as a teleport than a portal, as far as I can see. Still neat.
 
oh i understand.....so do u guys think that modders just dont know how to do it the way p0rtal is going to? or will we need a source engine update to be able to give us the tools to create such a thing?
 
Humm interesting. But how did they get that model for the gun?
 
Noob Question but once i have downloaded the file what do i do with it so i can use it in Gmod?
 
You have gmod 9 right?

If not then install it from his website

then after you download the portal gun, just extract each folder into your /sourcemods/gmod9 folder. Restart Steam if you had it running

Then in game, bring up the menu, go to the drop down list, and look for the swep weapons category. Click the portal gun, and it will spawn the weapon. Pick it up, and portal away!
 
Get the zipped file, unzip it, and copy all the folders into the Gmod9 installation directory (in sourcemods), it will ask if you want to over-write the folders, click 'yes to all'. Then start Gmod, and go into gm_construct or any map, hold down Q, and select the SWEP Weapons, near the bottom there will be 'portal' and 'portal-hole' guns, either one, it will spawn (just pick it up).

I played for sometime last night, i had pretty good fun. I sat in a corner with a portal in front of me and spawned an Ant Lion Guard, he charged right at me and teleported through the portal at the last second, very scary! Did the same with metro-cops. It feels a bit rough, you can't travel back through an exit portal and it's a bit clumsy when you come out the portal. It's pretty good fun though, chucking physics objects through and it hitting people on the opening end. e.g. explosive barrels, grenades. Very good at getting you out of trouble.
 
This thing is pretty cool. Not the place to put this, but it's related to the Portal Gun dammit!

We should get around to releasing the newer version of the SWEP sooner or later. (I'm DaApocalypse on Facepunch) We have a new Portal Gun model, not done yet, but coming along nicely. Needs wires/skin:

About a new Portal Model..dunno. I asked Lazermanic to rescale a Portal Rift model for me a while ago because it used an RT material and had open/close animations. There's still this WIP though:

Currently what needs to be finished is Player Angles and prop/player velocity (So if you go in a portal at 30 MPH you'll exit at 30 MPH)

And I also have this thing going where a prop/player will "sink" into a Portal. It works alright, but I don't know if I can implement it well.

Also it's not 2 way because currently G-Mod only supports one RT Camera. Which is what we use for the Portal.

Glad you enjoyed it. ;)
 
Have you guys figured out how to make it where the player/objects can enter the portal like a doorway yet?
 
Lua isn't limitless. All we can get the teleporting bit as instant and smoothe as possible.
 
This has to be the most pointless mod I've seen in awhile. I mean, come November, all the work done will be rendered obsolete.

Not really, this weapon can be used through HL2`s single player campaign through GMod, I doubt Portal will give you that option :p
 
I wish it was possible to use it in EP1, I could teleport alyx around.
 
I just tried it with on the Half life 2 levels it was great fun till it crashed.I am really looking forward to Portals now.
 
Of course it will.

And the thread is goddamn old as well.

...What? GMod 9 and 10 scripting are completely different. The GMod 9 portal gun will not work with 10.
Various people are working on new versions, but there's nothing finished as yet.

And the thread is goddamn old as well.

Truth.
 
Sorry, i was under the impression that Gmod 9 scripts worked in 10.
 
Theres a better mod out that is extremely close to portal. It has live feeds through the portals and everything. Its a smooth port too.
