How to shoot portals off the screen?

Hi!

Does anyone know how to shoot portals of the screen? In Mari0 without mods, when you
try to shoot a portal at something that's not on the screen the dotted line is red and you
can't fire the portal. Can anyone tell me what to change?

I get it, your asking my original question. Let me ask you a question, do you have the source?

Source? The Mari0 files like main.lua and game.lua and etc.?

Yes. Try looking in the Game.lua. If not, then play the waiting game...

I have looked in the game.lua but I am no super-leet programmer.

You need to change the "traceline" function in game.lua
Something about currentblock[0]+1 < xscroll+width or something.

I think you'd change from +1 to +2 somehow in mario.lua's mario:jump method. This would make it on jump, add 1 more block to be raised on the y-axis.

to double jump. I don't think that he'd wanna make it so he jumps two blocks higher automatically.

When did anyone in this thread mention double jumping

wrong topic just delete the posts since I can't

But you can shoot the portals offscreen somewhat. Just not too far from the edge. It's hard to describe.

Ok, I didn't make myself clear. I want it to be so it's portal possible is always active, and I can place a portal to that place from even 500 feet.

See what I posted.

Well, the plus side is you go farther in the level.

The downside, you don't entirely know if there is something that'll screw you over. For example, if you portal somewhere and accidentally hit a surface perpendicular to an open gap in a custom mappack, you're done. But I see your point how useful it would be.

Ain't exactly rocket science.
If you can't figure something that simple out, maybe you shouldn't mod games.

I'm not really that old for programming, just started a few weeks ago...
You're right.
