Block Code

This page is a rough outline for visual scripting in Portal.

For the broader scripting overview, see Scripting.

What block code is good for

• Simple triggers and reactions
• States, timers, and counters
• Wiring gameplay events together
• Fast iteration without writing code

Common patterns

• Door open/close logic
• Objective enable/disable flow
• Round start and round end handling
• Spawn or reset sequences

What to document

• Best practices for keeping graphs readable
• Common node combinations
• Naming and grouping conventions
• How to debug broken logic

Rules of thumb

• Keep graphs small when possible
• Split repeated logic into reusable patterns
• Prefer clear event flow over tangled chains
• Use TypeScript when the block graph gets too complex
