irrlicht map teleportation

[dejai]

Hello i resently saw a youtube video demo with a person starting of in one quake map and a portal was infront of him to another map he walk straight through into another 3d Map!

Does anyone have any idea how this was done I don't really want the code just a explanation on how it was done if it was possible I will try to link the video too...

Thanks Enjoy The Video

I'd guess the level was pre-loaded at different co-ordinant and the character's position was changed to 'warp' them.... I haven't actually watched the video though...

Hmm thanks for your input you should watch the video its actually quite interesting.

A guy on this forum did that, though I'm not sure if it is the same one since I didn't see the video due to a slower connection I'm on. Do a search for "prey like portal" or something like that since I remember that being the title to his post about it. It hasn't been all that long. The effect was pretty good too. It only worked for either OGL or DX, I can't remember which. If it is fixed for both, it would be a great addition to Irrlicht, and it looked awesome.

isn't this the same level? Or is it two identical levels?

[LemonMan]

Yeah, thats just the second floor of the same level.

But those portals are SWEET!

All that video did was make me want to play Portal even more...

But that is quite sweet!

I believe the video was from Blizzard's portal project, here's a link to the thread: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... hp?t=12806
