The first thing I really like about PX, great job! WA always needed a portal gun, in fact every game does.

awesome work! i love it

You clearly stole my idea PyroMan!! Well ideas are for people who get things done. Very good job! The thing I don't like about many px weapons is that they don't look neat and good, but you pulled this one off, impressive

[Impossible]

Ohh awesome you finally finished it

[lacoste]

Gaaah, i loved Portal 2D flash game, never thought about it being possible in WA. Looks damn good, how do you aim portal gun while moving btw?

Next up.....gravity gun?

You clearly stole my idea PyroMan!!

heh, pretty much many people's idea  i personally would make one if i wasn't that lazy, but it's good to see people doing it for fun and with a lot of free time. Great job! also the graphics are very nice (if I made one myself there wouldn't be such beautiful graphics)

this is sick, vgj man!

[PyroMan]

Thanks for such for a comments guys! It`s a pleasure for me to make things like this, even if they kill all free time. I think they worth it!
My fav games are Half Life2, Portal and ofc WA. Now they become closer to each other

Next up.....gravity gun?   

yeah dude, i`ll probably start to script a Gravity gun next I think it will be much simplier than Portal Gun. I hope

I`ve hosted it with like.. 8-10 people overall. and i have to say that its hard to handle Portal Gun with first attempts.  It`s like.. try to play Roper when you first time playing on rope.
..Matter of practice. While testing this stuff over and over and over again, i`ve learned a lot of cool things and tricks. And i think this Portals is a huge potential for Worms schemes and cool and fun (which the most important) usage.
We`ve been testing that on map i made (some fragments included on video) but looks like i`ll change it.
I`ll make start with very simple and easy stuff and try to explain very detailed how this things works, step by step. Just like Valve did once with me when i 1st time tryed to play Portal.

So i`ll make some short delay before officially releasing this gun.

Anyway, i`m glad you guys enjoyed this video. I`ve learned even more tricky stuff Becouse skills with Portals rising much faster than with a rope.

how do you aim portal gun while moving btw?

well as soon as its a 2D game with keyboard control - controls is also should be a keys I`ve tryed to make worm aim - but when you fly on high speed - those aiming is extremely slow compare to speed So best choice was to make a fixed angles in 8 directions. You can guess tho: Up, Down, Left, Right, U-R, U-L, D-R, D-L.  Holding these keys + spacebar make ability to shoot in any of those directions immidietly.
To switch between portal type (orange or blue) - used keys same as Max/Min bounce setting: "-", "+", Num-, Num+. But for me - switching with those keys takes too long
I`ve made ability to shoot opposite type of portal, with any current type active. For those thing Ctrl and Alt working.

I know most people remapping keys, partically Spacebar that goes on place of Ctrl or Alt (just like i do ). No big deal - just remap those keys to smth you comfortable with
