func_portal_orientation is a brush entity available in 
Portal series. It adjusts a portal's rotation to match a specified angle. The "front" of the portal points in the specified direction.
Bug: Broken in Portal 2. It will rotate existing portals to the specified direction when first enabled, but will not affect newly-placed ones. [todo tested in ?]
Workaround:Since it still works when first enabled, a logic_playerproxy can be used to fire an Enableinput to the entity every time a portal is placed, which will orient the portals correctly. This can result in some odd behavior when placing portals near the edge of surfaces within the volume, func_portal_bumpers should be used to prevent this.
Keyvalues
{{KV|Angles to face|intn=AnglesToFace|angle|The angles to rotate portals to.
Tip:An easy way to figure out what to set this to is to place a prop_portal, rotate it to the desired orientation, then look at its angles.{{KV|Match linked angles.|intn=MatchLinkedAngles|boolean|If set, portals placed in this volume will have their angles match their linked portals. This only works for floor or ceiling portals with a currently linked partner that is on a surface with the same orientation.
Todo: Seems to be broken in P1? It does work in P2 if the workaround is used.
- Start Disabled (StartDisabled) <boolean>
- Stay dormant until activated (with the
Enableinput).
Inputs
EnableDisable:
- Enable / Disable
- Enable/disable this entity from performing its task. It might also disappear from view.
