**** it why not make her staff, the game is dead anyway

Well Mr. Atilla , this game in your mind (EE) you can consider anything else . But EE Universe can be a true successor for the entire community .
She wants to be something or random person what gave hope in this game . Why we can't put her as translator for EEU?
Why everyone say Everybody Edits is dead if isn't true and players give propaganda to another game?(In a contradiction against toxic players and don't ignore what I say 'Why the term 'Drama' does exist here if it's too ilogic and absurd to explain all of this?' , We can't make a topic of this)

because you need to accept the reality
i doubt eeu can get more players but we'll see, miracles exist for sure you know

Reply to your post above,
Imagine going through an one-way platform and suddenly see yourself being teleported to the other side, it would not feel natural and would make you feel most likely controlled at all time by "invisible forces"
Your idea would accomplish only one of the many purposes the one-way portals have adequately (only when the portals are placed in a closed tube in switch systems), and would be rather problematic than helpful for all the other building needs.
Lukem did the same than you did here, and I proved that for many reasons doing so is not ideal and might cause more problems than it solves, if we do like so, is building in the hard way, not efficient for playing neither building, I would rather look for the alternatives that are less messy (Without the need of portals but switches or other type of action tools for the purpose)

The purpose of Death portals is to optimize the usage of the space in the map without being intrusive with the building and the gameplay, it have to be unnoticed by the player in every moment of the gameplay - yeah, my sollutions are intrusive, and making them functional won't change that
It is done by making one of the active portal sides inactive while all others sides remain active (Or more sides could be inactive in case the player place more than one death portal in a side of an active potal)

The main problems I see with your suggestion is:
1. It uses a bit larger area occupied to do the same
2. It teleports you, so you have a high chance to teleport you to a wrong portal, so it require a huge amount of carefulness to not cause major issues while building to not use Important ID more than once otherwise teleporting to the wrong portal is guarteed - not a big problem when you can do the same with simpler things even in EE if you don't list in your mind used ID's
3. It reduces the efficiency of the use of IDS and the usability of the already used IDs - [img]when we have 99999 ID's possible[/img]
4. It teleports you, it causes unpleasant teleporting that makes the player to lose control of the smiley speed and direction, this might cause as well to allow the player to even get into the portal activation accidentally - yeah, block jagging, i've said it :/
5. It uses a large amount of IDs, making it more difficult for the builder to manage the correct IDS - same as 2 and 3, but yeah, for repeatable things it's difficult
(Basically you are teleporting from A to B to C - or even more, teleporting from A to D and then teleporting from B to C, too many teleportings for a simple task)

actually, in that type of mini shown in the video, i would use single line of portals, instead of one point, or change a rotation a bit and add some mid-layer to prevent player from looping, but the problem in video is shown well
