If we talk about the portal gun, then many gamers immediately have an association with the game "Portal". And it is no coincidence, because it is Portal that is the very source from which this device appeared.
Straight from Portals Nature Research Lab
The place indicated above is also known by its abbreviation ASHPD, which is the full name for the ghana portal. What is this type of device? If you try to explain in a simple and understandable language, then the portal gun is directly related to the process of instantaneous movement of physical objects and the installation of visual communication.
This is the most important thing that the main character of the Portal uses. It is used throughout the gameplay, in those moments when you need to solve puzzles. Thanks to the cannon, you can open the portal on any flat, solid and fixed surface. As for the exceptions, this is any fluid, something curved, smooth and in motion. After appearing, they take the form of an ellipse and are able to pass objects of human size through themselves. You cannot open the third portal, at the same moment there can be only two. One of them, as a rule, is highlighted in blue, and the second in orange.
About gaming features
When using the device, the player sees an orange or blue semblance of a ray. When it reaches the surface that it was aimed at, a portal appears at the point of contact. Color is appropriate.
By the way, if initially we had a blue portal, then we won’t be able to duplicate it. As a result, after the appearance of the copy, the old one simply disappears. Thus, in order to leave the blue portal, we will have to make orange.
The capabilities of the device are not limited to this. The fact is that a special manipulator is placed in the portal gun, which is aimed at the work of the energy field with a zero level. Thanks to him, it becomes possible to transfer small items, he will cope with cargo cubes or automatic turrets.
The appearance of each portal is tied to a specific mouse button, so the left is responsible for blue, and the right for orange. If there was a need to transfer the item, then the "E" key must be activated.
At the very beginning of the gameplay, the player can open portals of only one color - blue. The device starts to work at full strength only in the middle of the passage.

It's no secret that many popular devices sooner or later find their way into other projects and franchises. As for the portal gun, the modifications with its participation affected many games, among which there were "Terraria", "Minecraft", "GTA 5" and others. Of course, all the merit belongs to talented users who are driven by the desire to diversify the usual game worlds.
