TF2 vs linked_portal_door

[henke37]

I wonder if anyone has any good ideas for what you would do if the tf2 version of the source engine supported the Linked_portal_door entity.

It allows you to basically link any part of the map to another part without the player noticing the teleportation. Let's assume that you can shoot through it. Both projectiles, hitscan and area attacks.

Obviously this does not currently work in the game. I wouldn't expect it to get into the game unless Valve wants to change the system requirements.

If this were added, I could make the hypercube map I long to make. I won't hold my breath.

They introduced it for Portal 2, so no.

Don't be a dumdum. This is a hypothetical thread.

It'd suddenly make TC easy. ALL THE SPACE IN THE WORLD.

Seriously though, TC would suddenly become incredibly easy.

On the other hand it'd screw over 3D skyboxes since they use a 1:1 mapping with world coordinates.

You could nicely use it for interior/exterior area divide though. just throw it up where the skybox isn't visible.

I don't know if this would make a difference but maybe better optimization?

One on the floor linked to the ceiling. Spam down on opponents on the same level as you, rj up to reach opponents hiding on lower levels.
