TrickingIT presents Portal Tapping

Wait, isn't TrickingIT dead...?
Yes, TI was dead, but me, being one of the ex-members, has asked ipushmycar if I could take over the "dead" clan. So to come back in a semi-bang... I present to you "portal tapping".

What is it and what does it do?
Well portal tapping is a glitch I found last night while playing with InfiniZ. It allows you to pass trough almost any solid object.

How do you do it?
Simple!
  1. Create a teleporter receiver
  2. Place it on the object you would like to penetrate
  3. Tap the "a" button rapidly until portal falls. // To prevent dropping the portal once its trough, position yourself above directly above it.
You can do this on horizontal, vertical, or diagonal surfaces.

Does that mean we can get under levels?
Yes and no. If a portal is dropped trough a floor with no cavity it will be blocked and will disappear if you let go of it.

Any type of host disadvantages?
Yes, you can not be host.

Any proof?
Video, not yet, but your more than welcome to create one for us. Pictues, yes, there are lots of screen shots below and some other goodies too.

Wait no video? Wasn't TrickingIT all about videos?
My capture card is a pain to set up right now, so for right now no videos. If you would like you can add me on xbl and we can create a video together.

best part is being able to freeze the teleporters anywhere using the save feature when holding the telepoter ;). It wont delete, i already have a teleporter saved in a death zone.

Indeed, I was wondering how to do that on my own.

I tried this trick earlier and it didn't work. :(

He says you can't be the host, so that might explain your problems.

Trough: A long, narrow, open receptacle, usually boxlike in shape, used chiefly to hold water or food for animals. - Nice.

Anyway, good find =x

can you do this by yourself OFFLINE?
or does that still count as you being host and restricting you?

I thought this was well known. I mean its simply double tapping the a button twice. Besides its not just offhost only. Everyone in my party could do it fine. Good job though on letting others know that didn't before. cool pictures.
