Garry's Mod

Garry's Mod

TARDIS (Legacy)
Why open doors you can see through can never work
The whole TARDIS "bigger on the inside" is basically using Portal (video game) technology.


Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhlm3mX8Fb8


If Garry's Mod ever updated the gaming engine to support Portals, then open doors would be 100% possible. But for now, this update remains un-makable.

You COULD use a GMod video screen, but it would be 2D and entirely unrealistic.

Impossible right now; we can't use the portal effect because the engine Garry's Mod uses can't support it, and The Magic Box, as noted, is unstable and not usable for the addon. Let's be patient and hope that Garry adds in that compatability later.

Hope so.

We can all spam his mail, asking for the feature.. *Lol*
well i will be excited if garry made a feature to support the portal thingy engine then matt might be able to make the tardis open the doors and be like a portal that would be awesome matt say yes to my reply if you want this feature
Portals would be completely usable if the engine worked, with some conditions Matt would have to figure out:

  • Opening the door, since the door entity can only be on either side of the 'portal'.
  • What would happen if the doors were open and the TARDIS flies into water.
  • If the doors were open and the HADS was on (but he could probably program the doors to automatically close if the HADS was activated).
  • "Lock doors during teleport" option would become a big issue, and Matt may have to resort to removing this option and auto-locking the doors.
  • Biggest issue of all, having to disable and re-enable the portals whenever the TARDIS teleports (but like some other issues, he could just disable the portal to prevent opening the doors).
