This idea came to me obviously while watching tv. Though my limited knowledge I wasn't sure if it could be done or not.

I was wondering if you could make a prop, say for Garry's Mod on half life 2. The TARDIS, The Doctor's living ship form Doctor Who. I know you could make a map with one set in stone rather easily, but would it be possible to make one with an opening door, and once inside you were in a room larger than the model itself.


For a model like that I'm sure it'd have to a) shrink your model upon entering and grow upon leaving, b) teleport you to a stand alone room somewhere which I have no clue how you'd do on a prop unless maybe you set up a map with that room but still once again that involves making a map.

Those are about the only three ways I could see it working, anyone else that could answer this question for me?

Edit: I could see this being a lot easier to do in a mod of portal. Setting up a portal between the TARDIS door prop and a room on any/every map. Though like previously stated, still not quite the same.

ive never heard of it, but if its just a big box with a door that opens then its really not that hard to do, the whole enlarging thing is not a graphical issue tho, youd need someone to program/script that for u
