I tryed to play modification Rexaura in P2CE, at second level (map rex_01_holder) I found that portals clearing whan box dropper drop new cube, portals also clearing if cube contact with energy pellet. Because of at this moment player have portalgun that cannot fire orange portal - we can't done this level without cheats in P2CE.
Original mod.
I explored the reason that cause this, as it turned out - map designer decided to use very stupid hack. To fizzle cubes - maps logic use huge trigger_portal_cleanser that toggling whan pellet touch cube, also toggling cause box droppers.
In Portal if place portal in disabled trigger_portal_cleanser and after this enable trigger_portal_cleanser - it will not detect portal and nothing will happen. In same situation but in Portal 2 placed portal will cleaned, not a bug, but cause compatibility problems.
Test in Portal.
To fix this I suggest cvar sv_legacy_portal_cleanser_behavior 0/1, 0 - disabled, 1 - enabled, 0 by default. This cvar will enable the legacy portal cleanser behavior.
Test map here. testtest_r.zip
Which component should be improved?
