This would be difficult to fix in a way that looks fully correct. It might work best to have the particle just stop at the worldportal.

maybe just fire two tracebullets (one at the original player position and another through the actual worldportal, based on player's viewangles + position) and spawn two of the same portalgun trail particles? it might not look great, but it's still better than nothing
