<div class="IPBDescription">make them like P0rtal (in hl2 ep2)</div><a href="http://imageshack.us" target="_blank"><img src="http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/363/phasegatecv3.jpg" border="0" alt="IPB Image" /></a>
Would love to see the phase gate function as an actuall portal , such as the one in the new p0rtal puzzle game by valve. Marines can actually walk thru it and see where they will end up before going through.
Might create some game issues but perhaps bullets and alien projectiles could go through also - gorgies would effectivley bile bomb thru a portal <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" /> or even oc's and turrets would shoot thru (sieges would not) so aliens destoying the phase gate on the other end would need to stand out of thte view zone so they can't get shot.
Aliens would not go through - as funny as it was seeing an onos use the phase gate and appear in your base back in the old days of NS it was a bit like seeing a human use an MC to appear in a hive.
This phase gate would need to be rotated as there is only one way in.
also seeing hl2 has real collision detection, I think that the commander should be able to rotate anything when its being placed, hold mouse button to place, use mouse to rotate, let go of mouse to "deploy" and the object appears.
EDIT - i wonder what a fade would be like using the p0rtal gun for blinkage, and to trap marines by causeing them to fall through a portal into a bed of oc's or near a back of skulks <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" /> but thats best left to another thread.

i could draw you a diagram too, but i'd probably get banned <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />
EDIT - well yeah your idea is pretty much the same so naturally i think its a good one <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />
