Re: How would you want to control a Portal Gun? My vote is for fire and double tap fire. Scroll wheel is bad for laptop users like me.

Re: How would you want to control a Portal Gun? Use what P3l said. I don't see scrolling and firing simultaneously working out.

Re: How would you want to control a Portal Gun? You could ofc have multiple ones appear in the buy menu, with different control schemes.

Re: How would you want to control a Portal Gun? Actually, I'd have single tap firing alternating with long presses firing repeats. I wouldn't really mind instant spawning if it's more reliable.

Re: How would you want to control a Portal Gun? Having some button to press to switch colors would make it much easier. Perhaps Tab?

Re: How would you want to control a Portal Gun? And a big glow on it to tell if it's blue or orange.

Without a mouse? 411570N3 wrote: Actually, I'd have single tap firing alternating with long presses firing repeats. It might get confusing if you forgot the last portal you shot. Perhaps there could be a glow on the gun that indicates the color of the next portal to be shot? I might make this control scheme into the script, and people can change between this and the control scheme below... Anyways, so far I think the portal gun control scheme will be (for mouse and keyboard users): Fire = Create Blue Portal Double-tap fire = Create Orange Portal Reload Portal Gun = Remove both portals (or one if you only shot one) And you can switch this mode with 411570N3's method by changing a setting in the script.

CaveCricket48 wrote: Warguy wrote: How about click once, blue comes out, click again, orange comes out This is the only part of your post that makes sense. I thought about this, but you wouldn't be able to choose the portal you want to shoot Press Q, blue portal comes out. press E, Orange portal comes out. You fail.

Re: How would you want to control a Portal Gun? Both of those keys are already mapped to switch characters. You could change it yourself, but I think there are plenty of other options.

You fail. You haven't ever said anything even remotely productive since you've been here. Your posts being mostly one-off childish, grammatically flawed snippets, and now you're being outright rude. If you actually bother reading threads you post in at all, you would have read that CC48 doesn't want to do any functions bound to specific keybindings.

Re: How would you want to control a Portal Gun? Then you can't aim without only being able to fire orange portals.

Re: How would you want to control a Portal Gun? Ugh. Why can't right click just be an alternate fire and some other key can open the pie menu. It seems like we run into so many runaround ways across so many mods just to implement alternate/dual firing modes for weapons. It's absurd.
Damn CC.

Re: How would you want to control a Portal Gun? Piemenu on right click isn't even practical.
