MrSnottyPants Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) This morning, when I enter the base, my character is stuck inside the swirly portal. Can't walk or fly out. I removed the floor under it, and found I cannot fall out either. I can get out in base edit mode. What did I do? And more important, how do I fix? -- UPDATE --> I moved the portal and the problem went away. For now - if someone knows what this about I'd really like to know so I don't do it again.

ShardWarrior Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Sounds like you have the portal embedded too close or within other items or the floor or wall. For example, if you are putting your portal entrance on top of some stairs, make sure it is not clipping with said stairs otherwise you will wind up getting stuck in it.

MrSnottyPants Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 I had just started making the base yesterday (friends are starting to play cause events). I didn't touch the entrance that I know of - bare walls, no furnishings. But I find I'm sometimes touching stuff without knowing 😁so maybe I dropped it into the floor just a tin bit. Hopefully it's just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troo Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 It happens. The base builder is not super awesome. It is easy to accidentally have something in conflict with the portal. To fix it - move the portal to where it is clear of any possible conflicting items. Note: having done this to myself a number of times, and out of annoyance, I just don't put anything near the portal and try not to make any edits to the base portal room.

Retired Community Rep Dacy Posted March 20, 2020 Retired Community Rep Share Posted March 20, 2020 The portal seems to even stick when it's not interfered with, sometimes. It's a bug. Shifting the portal usually works. Raising it above the floor works the best, so it's not touching anything. -Dacy -Dacy Retired CR Active Base Advocate My base building tutorials are always available for you!

WanderingAries Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Easiest solution is to raise it to the next snap point. For some reason (the whole time we've had the servers) it just does this. IDK if it's the mods they've made by unlocking everything and it's not auto-snapping correctly at first, but this seems to work Almost every time. Sometimes you need a Dev to walk in and do it.

FourSpeed Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Interesting. I've run into this a few times, and wondered wth was going on. My entrance portal is in the middle of an empty room, so it's not getting stuck on any objects, as such. I'll try raising it above the floor and see if that works... Definitely an annoying bug, though. Regards, 4 Guide: The Low Budget Introduction to Fire Farming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingofMonkeys Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) Indeed an annoying bug, albeit not a common one. All we can do is keep bringing it up/pointing it out to the devs and maybe they will do something about it (Like making the portal object collision intangible so you can just walk through that sucker regardless).

Actually, it is...the floor itself is the "thing" that it's interacting with. IDK why, but it does. :/ OG Server: Pinnacle <||> Current Primary Server: Torchbearer || Also found on the others if desired <||> Generally Inactive Installing CoX: Windows || MacOS || MacOS for M1 <||> Migrating Data from an Older Installation Clubs: Mid's Hero Designer || PC Builders || HC Wiki || Jerk Hackers Old Forums <||> Titan Network <||> Heroica!

FourSpeed Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Ya, in light of the discussion, I figured that it's the "thing" in question, although it's *really* counterintuitive when your portal is in a seemly empty room. 😉 Cheers, 4 Guide: The Low Budget Introduction to Fire Farming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erydanus Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 It is really random and for instance, I have a bunch of stuff by my portal in my main base and have never had it happen; but in another base where the entry room is completely empty and the portal is where the game placed it by default, I've had the bug happen. It's like whatever records in the game define the portal's location, once in a while there's a rounding error and when you enter the base it's effectively like 1 pixel off the floor and blam, your foot gets stuck there.

Sealdy Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) I just raised my base portal and still have it happen. The base portal is now floating with me in it. Changing characters didn't fix it either. *Relogging helped, now hope that it will take a long while to happen again.

Without_Pause Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I just came in to post about this. I moved the entry room to the middle of my grid so I could build around all sides of the entrance. Character gets stuck every time. There's nothing else in that room. There are only other rooms with the single block doorways connecting to the base. Oddly enough if you edit the base and move out of the entry point, and then exit the editor, you are fine. Top 10 Most Fun 50s. 1. Without Mercy: Claws/ea Scrapper. 2. Outsmart: Fort 3.

SuperPlyx Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Guess I will chime as well, just happened to me. My portal is in empty room and I built base months ago with no changes in this room . I was able to get out by going into base edit mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heraclea Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 This can happen from time to time with any base. If it's yours just enter the base editor and your character automatically moves.
