Trigger portal

This entity is not in the FGD by default.
See below for instructions on making it available.

trigger_portal is an brush entity in the Source base code. It moves touched entity to a target location, changing the model's orientation to match the exit target. It differs from trigger_teleport in that it reorients physics and has inputs to enable/disable its function.

Note:This entity is unavailable in any Source game. However, it can be made available in Sourcemods using custom binaries by editing server_base.vpc to include trigger_portal.cpp before building the project.

Bug:The code for this entity will not compile on its own. See below for how to fix it.  [todo tested in ?]

FGD Code

@SolidClass base(Trigger) = trigger_portal :
	"A trigger volume which teleports touched entities and reorients their physics."
[
	RemotePortal(target_destination) : "Remote Portal" : : "The trigger_portal linked to this entity. Entities that touch this entity will be teleported to the Remote Portal."

	//Inputs
	input SetRemotePortal(string) : "Set the remote portal to the specified trigger_portal."
]

Code Fix

Line 278 and 302:

SetContextThink( &CTriggerPortal::DisabledThink, gpGlobals->curtime + 0.1, TRIGGER_DISABLED_THINK );

Keyvalues

Remote Portal ([todo internal name (i)]) <targetname>

The trigger_portal linked to this entity. Entities that touch this entity will be teleported to the Remote Portal.

BaseTrigger

Filter Name (filtername) <filter> A filter entity to test potential activators against. Start Disabled (StartDisabled) <boolean> Stay dormant until activated (with theEnableinput).

Flags

BaseTrigger

Everything (not including physics debris) : [64] Clients (Survivors, Special Infected, Tanks ) : [1] Only clients in vehicles : [32] Only clients *not* in vehicles : [512] Disallow Bots (removed since ) : [4096] NPCs (Common Infected, Witches ) : [2] Only player ally NPCs : [16] Only NPCs in vehicles (respects player ally flag) : [2048] Physics Objects (not including physics debris) : [8] Physics debris (include also physics debris) : [1024] Pushables (Passes entities with classname func_pushable) : [4]  Deprecated. Equivalent to using Everything + filter_activator_class that filters func_pushable.

Inputs

SetRemotePortal <stringRedirectInput/string>

Set the remote portal to the specified trigger_portal.

BaseTrigger

Toggle Toggles this trigger between enabled and disabled states. Enable Enable trigger Disable Disable trigger TouchTest  (in all games since ) Triggers either the OnTouching or OnNotTouching outputs for whether anything is touching this entity. Bug:Sleeping prop_physics will never fire "OnTouching". Also applies to entities using prop_physics as base.  (tested in: ) StartTouch  (in all games since ) !FGD Behave as if the !caller entity had just entered the trigger volume. Accepts non-physical entities. EndTouch  (in all games since ) !FGD Behave as if !caller had just exited the trigger volume. DisableAndEndTouch  (only in ) Disables this trigger and calls EndTouch on all currently-touching entities.

Outputs

BaseTrigger

OnStartTouch !activator = entity that caused this output !caller = this entity Fired when a valid entity starts touching this trigger. OnStartTouchAll !activator = entity that caused this output !caller = this entity Fired when a valid entity starts touching this trigger, and no other entities are touching it. If there are any other entities touching the trigger when a new one begins to touch, only OnStartTouch will fire. OnEndTouch !activator = entity that caused this output !caller = this entity Fired when a valid entity stops touching this trigger. Note:Will also fire for entities touching it when trigger is disabled via Disable input Warning:This includes entities which are deleted while inside the trigger. In this case !activator will be invalid. Warning:OnEndTouch can fire before OnStartTouch under certain circumstances[How?] where both are fired on the same tick and each have the same delay. Fix:Add a slight delay to OnEndTouch. OnEndTouchAll !activator = entity that caused this output !caller = this entity Fired when all valid entities stop touching this trigger. OnTouching  (in all games since ) !activator = !caller = this entity Fired if something is currently touching this trigger when TouchTest is fired. OnNotTouching  (in all games since ) !activator = !caller = this entity Fired if nothing is currently touching this trigger when TouchTest is fired.
