Do I just suck or is it hard to hit the portals? It feel a little tighter than it should to me. I feel like the portal trigger area would be wider. Does anyone else feel this way? Just a tad larger would be perfect. I think it would be cool if it wanted to suck me in a little even.

Making the portal area wider would be a bad idea, as placing portals already is quite restrictive due to the large area the portal has to cover. Also, changing the bbox size of the portals would mean changing how the existing portal maps play, and change their records. Not a good idea.

But I get complaints about this ever since ai's portal model got added. Maybe the model should be made a tad smaller to fit the portal's box again?

Indeed: this is the case. Maybe intentionally by ai, maybe not, we don't know. You now have to hit the INNER area of the portal, hitting its border will no longer teleport you:

Makes sense to me. Should keep it this way, imo.

Well, now that we know we have to hit the "vortex" part of the portal, it should be fine.

Ai should however have told us that before we had to find out the hard way

When you walk through a door you also make sure not to hit the door posts right?

Quite correct. ^_^

Yeah, this was made intentionally by me as it seemed logical. Sorry for not saying anything about it.

I know it makes sense but on maps like test01, the 2nd part can be a bitch

Perhaps the entire portal can be make a little bigger? Is that too weird?

Making the portals bigger is no option.

1. It will invalidate all previously made records. jlue and Red Dragon will hate that.

2. It will make it harder to place portals, as the whole portal area must be in air (not solid).

3. It may even break the first room on test01.

Oh well, I guess I'll just have to get better then.
