Im trying to make a portal like effect where you shoot two objects and when you go through one, you come out the other. How would I achieve this or is it possible?

    It's possible. It's the basis for the D-capitatrix app.

    ok, well

    Create 2 integer attributes, portalX & portalY
    Create 1 angle attribute, PortalRotation

    Constrain a portals X&Y position to the 2 integers attributes & constrain its rotation to portalRotation.

    Then make lets say when the ball collides with portal1, change self positionX to portalX, self.position.Y to portalY, & change self.rotation to portalrotation

    Tell me if it works :D

    Attributes:
    PortA-X
    PortA-Y
    PortB-X
    PortB-Y

    PortA
    Change: PortA-X to self.x
    Change: PortA-Y to self.y

    PortB
    Change: PortB-X to self.x
    Change: PortB-Y to self.y

    Actor touches Portal A
    Rule: If overlap for collide with actor
    Change: self.x to PortB-X
    Change: self.y to PortB-Y

    Actor touches Portal B
    Rule: If overlap for collide with actor
    Change: self.x to PortA-X
    Change: self.y to PortA-Y

    -Allows you to go back and forth.
    -Allows you to move the portals where ever and not have to change code

    You can add a timer in the rule for a delay if needed.

    LOL it actually took me like 15 min of digging through darren's vids to find it but I knew he had made one.

    NO disrespect intended. But I also knew darren had taken a lot of things into account with his warps.

    Does that method also let the object build momentum like in D-capitatrix?

    Whenever you go through a portal, unless you tell your actor to slow down etc, you will keep the momentum and trajectory the actor was going at

    Essentially the biggie here is, how can the object falling through portal 1 change it's direction when coming out portal 2. Meaning, let's say portal 1 is on the ground and portal 2 is on the left hand side but ANGLED towards the UPPER RIGHT of the screen. The idea would be, ball falls (building momentum) and then shoots out (with some momentum) out of portal 2 BUT at the NEW ANGLE of portal 2 (i.e. upper right direction).

    Another example to be even more understandable.
    Portal 1 is on the floor.
    Portal 2 is on the left hand wall and it is facing the RIGHT HAND WALL.
    Ball builds momentum and falls into portal 1 and shoots out of portal 2 (TO THE RIGHT HAND DIRECTION... NOT MOVING DOWNWARD). That's the trick, I don't want it to continue moving downward I want it to shoot out in the direction of the portal but maintaining it's momentum etc.

    You guys are the best thanks!
