The way I'd prevent the feedback loop is the same way Minecraft does it: Override the portal you teleport to until after you exit the trigger, so if you step back in, it works again
I know why you had trouble with putting the portals on non-static objects. *Aperture Science would like to remind you that portals cannot be placed on moving surfaces.*
What I like about your video is you show the funny bugs along the way, not just a couple cuts after each successful step! I love the portal gun, I hope you can collaborate with other modders!
It's funny to see this, but imagine how making the actual portal felt, making all those puzzle, yeah, it's just a teleport trigger with a camera, but it's still probably difficult to fine-tune.
@@link7417 I already know, I just stated the basic idea but it's definitely more than just what I said. Ik that ain't clear, but I've made portals so I know how complicated that actually are, or can be.
The way i would have prevented the portal feedback loop, is the same way valve did in the portal series (at least i believe so) i would have put a tiny timer on the portal (give or take 0.3 sec) and apply a small push out of the portal in the direction the portal is facing. Basically, it would work like this: When player enters portal: -start 0.3 second timer (while timer active portal is not portaling you across) -check which way the portal is facing, and apply a small increase in speed in said direction
If you ever do a video like this again i have a 2 part suggestions that might prove to be really usefull for quite alot of creations: A. Player scanner, will return the ID of the player in front of the scanner using modpack logic (or return the closest player to a scanner, with adjustable radius cycle using E) B. Wireless part connector, Allows scripted parts to be wirelessly connecting (using modpack logic would be ideal of course) B could be used to make alot of cool things like camera drones and whatnot, it would also be cool for missles A could be used to protect your doors in a cool way or even as a security device if it is ranged.
me: I'm not that far into Raft Mechanic, maybe I should wait until they turned it into a custom game mode, so I can play it more easily in the future also me: Raft Mechanic go brrrrrrrrrrrrr
Not sure the capabilities of sm's moding api, but do you have the ability to render a perspective to a texture? In unity 3D you can render a camera to a texture and then apply that texture to a mesh. You would have to do some perspective math to angle of the perspective to make it orientate relative to the player, but thats one step closer to a real portal (would make you see through portal a into and out of portal b) also at this point, write a vs extension for sm lua (one might already exist)
@@Dr-Pixel Well then, time for plan B You could send many raycasts out each of the portals, then create a corresponding part on the other portal where the raycast was shot, this small part would replicate the color of the part the raycast hit basically a custom raycast renderer that renders to the other portal It would be decently pixelated but it could be better than nothing.
This video was cool but I wish there was a bit more of an explanation did you spawn a second pole in front that was invisible that also can’t teleport you back is that’s how you teleported
I think it'd be cooler if you made the portal placeable on only White bocks that are big enough, or a certain block in general. I watched the video through with no audio, so I'm just imagining the problems you faced until I get to listen!
@@Dr-Pixel well that's good. It might be cool if you were to make some Portal Map templates for people to build on if people wanted to make their own portal puzzle in Scrap Mechanic, and only wanted portals to attach to certain walls.
question: can u also make portal blocks? like draggable portals, and maybe even seethrough? (totally not a specific thing i need for an infinite challenge (within sandbox, because can have it in challenge mode), no totally not)
Rather than doing some weird cooldown thing to stop repeated teleporting, just check if something's velocity is away from the portal. If it is, then don't teleport it.
an idea for a mod block: a gearbox, would take one rotational input and let rotation output, there would be an option which would shift the strength to speed ratio of the input, probably 4:1, 2:1,1:1,1:2,1:4
@@guillermoelnino Fant doesn't even want any other mods in his. If so, he would care about the modpacks that use his mod. He doesn't even have legacy versions.
i drove my car into the blue portal at high speed..... the game froze, i had to shut down to get control back haha good mod though lots of fun on foot :)
if you watch closely at 12:03 to 12:05 if you look at the line that says "object = oject" he proceeds to spell "ovject" instead. i totally died with that. xD i feel your pain...
Can you make a mod/framework that allows ppl to make custom guns by just adding files into a folder For example .cfg (fire speed, projectile velocity) .blend (models) .mp3 (sounds)
make a mod with a yeet tool and yeet engine everytime you yeet a creation or animal you get more yeet energy batteries with those batteries you can power a yeet engine that yeets anything it touches so put the engine on the front of the vehicle and the yeet engine is way to powerful
The way I'd prevent the feedback loop is the same way Minecraft does it: Override the portal you teleport to until after you exit the trigger, so if you step back in, it works again

Finally! Someone who ACTUALLY made a portal mod for sm.
I know why you had trouble with putting the portals on non-static objects.
*Aperture Science would like to remind you that portals cannot be placed on moving surfaces.*
It's been a while since I've seen portal, so yeah... Probably should have watched something for reference before...
unless you're sabotaging the neurotoxin, then you can place them on moving surfaces

It would be even more amazing if you even added the camera in the portal

It's funny to see this, but imagine how making the actual portal felt, making all those puzzle, yeah, it's just a teleport trigger with a camera, but it's still probably difficult to fine-tune.
the portal portals are way more then just that, look up non-Euclidean geometry that is what portal uses to drive their portals

Well done, great work! This is the quality content.
Really cool! I love the Portal games and this is so cool.
As someone who's tried making a portal mechanic myself, It feels good seeing that my working process is very similar to fellow programmers lol
Siiiick, every FPS game needs a Portal Gun mod.
Love you.

That looked painful to do.

Imagine making the portals so that you can see through them
Hmm, I wouldn't know how though
bruh, I haven't even unlocked the propeller yet in Raft Mechanic and now you drop this? Lmao, what a mad lad.

Me neither! Would be epic to see some puzzles or challenges with this.

2 OF THE BEST GAMES
COMBINED
1:11 Should've left the wrong text colour, would've been so funny)
another amazing mod! all that time really payed off
so cool
you could add a delay time to the exit and enter times
I didn't quite get it, does it work for the player?
I wass literally looking on the workshop for a portal gun mod a week ago, and little did I know you were making it
It was only a matter of time before dpp made this
question: can u also make portal blocks? like draggable portals, and maybe even seethrough? (totally not a specific thing i need for an infinite challenge (within sandbox, because can have it in challenge mode), no totally not)
it would take a looot of work and it would be very long to make
probably won't be done for a long time
"Omg object = oject, THIS TYPO! if i've just- no wonder it never works"
Corrects it with "ovject"
That's modding in a nutshell...
Could you make pistons with collisions or collistons.
now make a placable portal gun (2 seperate for blue and orange)
Rather than doing some weird cooldown thing to stop repeated teleporting, just check if something's velocity is away from the portal. If it is, then don't teleport it.
I don't create things with velocity away from the portal, so it wouldn't work.
your coding pain brings us happiness keep it up...lol😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Now we just need a way to make portal guns with different channels for multiplayer if there isn't already
That would be possible. You would just need portal guns with different portals.
this is awsome i think it would be cool though if you had a custom model for the gun its self
And a custom model and animation for the portal, I don't think it's possible to do in-game.
I don't have a clue about 3d models sadly

Omg you are so creative!!!
