Portals do not handle contraptions / complex objects well for teleporting

If you ram a car with opened doors, it goes into the interior with a 90% chance of crashing the server. Some sort of Filter for that?

It would help if the TARDIS did something similar to the displacement gun mod, where the whole creation is pulled through (as in, welds and things are used to determine what that it)

Problem with that is most of the contraption will still be outside the doors if you try and teleport it as soon as soon as part of it touches the portal, and it will end up spazzing out anyway.

If constraints then DoorPass false

Transferring issue to world-portals as it is a bug in here

[LoganDark]

It might be possible to do something similar to what my portal system (for a different game engine) does. Teleport the entire creation at once only when the very center of it passes through the portal. Fast moving cars and etc. would be just fine. Not sure about sleds and such though, you might have to fake collisions if it's halfway through the portal, which is probably more effort than it's worth.

Teleporting one part at a time is a recipe for disaster unless you do some spoopy constraint overwriting that can somehow represent only half of a creation being on the other side of the portal. I don't know if that's possible in Gmod though...

[MattJeanes]

Yeah that's roughly what I was thinking, try and calculate the centre origin for the entire contraption, should work at least better than it does now
