UPDATE: A change in In-Game timing occurred on the Portal Speedrun leaderboards, so all individual levels are 0.015 slower. This video is still accurate, just the perfect time is now 15.930 instead of 15.915.

13:46 that trigger is a trigger_changelevel in every elevator that has a level transition! normally when the elevator passes a certain node in its path it sends an output to that trigger to load the next map in sequence, but *usually* those triggers have the "Disable Touch" flag set so that's the ONLY way they can be triggered. the dev who made this level forgot to set that flag on the chamber 10 elevator so it can be triggered by touch

@DonYagamoth 9 ай бұрын

The one thing that goes through my mind - I assume it's not faster to jump before entering the first portal, to gain more momentum going into the portal? I feel kind of silly asking that, because in my mind there is no way something that simple would be overlooked (Or, I just missed the jump to begin with, and it's in there) But then again, sillier improvements to speedruns have been made in the past, where a casual player asked just the right question

@nadeen3157 9 ай бұрын

Do you have any examples of casual players doing that? That sounds super interesting. I think the only case i know of is a streamer once discovering a glitch in an older game (metal gear maybe?)

@DonYagamoth 9 ай бұрын

@@nadeen3157 yes, glitches are often discovered by casual players The main example of someone asking the right question was in Secret of Mana. Specifically, whether it's possible to enter Elinees Forest early from the backside. The Speedrunners knew it was possible, but it was not considered useful because of all the route implications, and it was only barely faster to the next boss, and you skip picking up a character - which makes you actually lose about 30-40 seconds due to the bugged name over the course of the game, and make this riskier. But, it turns out, we never really tried and think it through - and the biggest timesave from implementing it was actually from a somewhat unexpected source Because we skip picking up a character until way later, running through areas is generally faster, saving a little time everywhere - which turns out, adds up a lot

@chargus 9 ай бұрын

the speed that you enter the portal doesnt matter, the thing that allows you to go back inbounds with the last shot is called a "PQR" standing for portal quick re-entry, what this does is trigger an unstuck code as soon as the portal on the wall lands, which places you into the bottom of the elevator in a single tick, the only way that you could improve this in theory is somehow shooting faster (not happening), or maybe getting less portal travel time or something, i doubt that anything will ever pop up though.

at 13:45, the reason for this debug trigger is that when the elevator is rising it touches this trigger, which will load the next map when the elevator finishes rising. The reason that this trigger can be triggered by a player is because on every other chamber there is a checkbox that makes it so that a player cannot trigger this except on chamber 10

Hey, I am not a Portal expert but some time ago I heard about a Portal TAS tool, is the chamber perfected even for tas? In the Trackmania TAS comunity there is a ''bruteforce'' system and I heard there is a half life TAS tool inspired by the Trackmania TAS bruteforce. Would it be possible for a Bruteforce TAS to be made in Portal, would that find maybe some unknown strategy, It did on Trackmania.

@evanlin96069 9 ай бұрын

Funny story, after I found the seamshot route, I tried to make a tas and the tas is somehow 1 tick slower than the wr. I’m not sure why, probably because some unknown demo recording issue or human can somehow trigger the elevator faster. For shooting under the fizzler route, my tas is 8 ticks slower.

@evanlin96069 9 ай бұрын

For brute forcing, we have a random search tool, but it can only random search on a few variables. The main problem we have is the TAS might not playback consistently. We want to solve this issue first before making an brute force optimizer.

@chargus 9 ай бұрын

there are 2 reasons why this wont work 1.) as you mentioned, in an individual level speedrun you are not allowed to load saves, your run must be single segment. 2.) when you save load it adds a 1 second shot cooldown, this also has a side effect of making segmented runs harder, there are ways to circumvent this cooldown to get the normal 0.51s shot delay by dropping a prop

After beating portal 1 and 2, I was gonna do it again, and co op after with a friend, but all up to 100% completion. But after realizing I beat portal 1 on the wrong account I beat it again on the right account. Then I realized to get 100% I had to get cameras and radios, and I did that non consecutively, so 2 more times I beat it. Then I found out there was secret dialogue in chamber 19, so I beat it again, for the secret dialogue. Then, after beating all modes of all the still alive chambers, I was gonna beat all modes on the particular main story mode chambers. But then I saw that developers commentary existed. I beat portal 1’s main story line 6 times. I know all of the secrets. And I’m a long term msushi subscriber, so I loved how I got what he was talking about instantly. Keep up the good work, man!

If you have two runs where you start the elevator at the exact same time but in one you ride on top of it, does the added height from you on top hit any sort of ending trigger sooner? Or is it just a set time from when you trigger the elevator? That’s my one thought, cause if there’s a hittable ending trigger *only after* activating the elevator that responds to player collision then there’d be new things to try.

@Pr0tal 9 ай бұрын

the elevator has to trigger the changelevel after it has reached a certain height, not the player, so this would have no effect

@pilotvideosrobloxdinoyt543 9 ай бұрын

I hope someone reads this, but if he shot the first portal at the ground instead of the seam. He would go into the portal fast because he has to wait for the bottom portal to open up since it's right below him. So it should be that it starts simple like this. Door open, step forward shoot floor, step forward shoot seam step forward at the same time the edge of the bottom portal opens up. QPR and jump.

@chargus 9 ай бұрын

the portal gun is capped at shooting once every 0.51s, it also has a 1 second cooldown at the start of the map, each of these portals are buffered which means that they are shot as fast as the game will let you, the last shot (the pqr shot) actually determines when you get into the bottom of the elevator, and since we are shooting all of those literally as fast as the game will let us it cant go faster by switching the portal order.

Question: why couldn't you shoot the first portal on the floor, which should be possible the very tick that the door opens, to shorten the time that the cooldown starts from until the next portal can be shot (through the corner peek)? It would be harder to line up, but it seems like it would mean the portals (and thus the cooldowns) can begin from an earlier time after the level loads by avoiding the time it takes to exit the elevator and crouch.

@chargus 9 ай бұрын

on any load the game gives you a 1 second shot cooldown, each of the shots in this are buffered, meaning they are shot literally as fast as possible (at 10:16 you can see sidious do this with an input hud on the top left, the game allows you to hold the button and shoot portals as fast as possible)

@italicmuscle4786 6 ай бұрын

Alright, I'm just throwing crap at the wall and seeing if it sticks, my idea is that the most likely way to skip an elevator is to find a glitch that allows you to portal up it or clip up into the load zone preferably without an item but if needed it could still be a time save, or hopefully something with the menu, (think of the super meat boy calculation tab glitch) to skip it. I'm sure this idea has already been proposed or proven not to work but still, just wanted to get this out there.
