CFuncPortalBumper ↳CBaseEntity

Entity description

It tells Portal to 'bump' portals that cannot open inside it away. Use it when a portal-proof surface runs directly on to a portal-friendly one.

While having this is not absolutely necessary, it does make your puzzles much more user friendly. You don't need to use one if there is an angle in the surface (e.g. the corners of a room).

Note:Each func_portal_bumper must stick at least two units out from the surface.

Usage

• 

  Not using a portal bumper

  How to place the bumper in Hammer

• 

  The result - a portal will be bumped to fit on the concrete
