Chamber 18 has issues with aiming and firing Portals #14

Is it TraceFirePortal again? Sigh...

I have the problem that I can't set the portal on the ceiling with the bridge in chamber 18. It only works when I'm standing directly at the bridge but I have to open the portal from the other side of the room but it no longer works from there.

I have the same problem but cannot create a portal n the ceiling at all I'm assuming this is the big room where the two laser cubes bounce off the faith plates and hit in mid-air and fall to the murky water. So I am stuck. Index/rtx4070/i9 9900k 48 GB ram - Edit I CAN make a portal standing at the bridge but its impossible to make one from the platform at the other side same as DJanocsch. Its a shame Valve didnt make a couple of different ways to do this test. I set a portal near the button to drop the cubes and one at the base of the far cube platform and try and jump through and jump up and catch the cube - but it flies through the air too fast.

i ran into this too and eventually got a portal placed by spamming the ceiling plate from the other side of the room until one stuck/spawned

luckily you can shoot through the hard light bridge to get it

at first i thought you couldn't shoot through the bridge and i was making it harder on myself for only aiming for the small corner of white i could see that the bridge wasn't overlapping, thinking i had to avoid it

I will try Jakedowns suggestion of firing through the Light bridge and report back.

Hello! I'm new here and don't know how to write a message directly, so I apologize for being offtopic. I tried to install a vr mod for portal 2, but nothing started. There is only a VR mode for the cinema, but if you turn it off, the game starts on the monitor. Pimax 4k helmet, but runs everywhere as an oculus rift. Thank you in advance!

yeah, thanks to jakedowns! I was actually able to put a portal on the ceiling through the bridge. To do this, I stood on the platform with the switch all the way to the right and looked straight down. When you can no longer see the platform but only the water below you, you are close enough (at least that's how it was for me). Now just spam the trigger through the bridge until a portal appears (let the cannon circle a bit). and that's it, it worked for me, even 3 times in a row, so it can be reproduced. I don't know what kind of headsets you use, it could be that your fov is different and you can't go as far up the right corner of the platform until you can only see water. approach as far as you can. good luck!

fwiw, in the main game, with a mouse, you can re-shoot a portal of the same color onto an existing portal to perfect its position. in this mod, it seems like you can no longer do that? (maybe worth a separate ticket)

I finally did it too by following both Jakedowns and DJanosch recommendations - but took about 20 minutes.
