Area portal cost

Do open areaportals cost anything when they're out of sight? --Cargo Cult 08:07, 23 Sep 2005 (PDT)

They have a slight cost, I don't believe it's measurable, but possibly negligible considering map geometry and if they weren't used at all.


Example map

Here's a test project we did with Jeff Lane on always open Area Portals.
