I never realized it was that rare. On my second playthrough, I decided to destroy all the cameras, but always waited for her to stop speaking before destroying them, because I was worried it would interrupt her and I like the dialogue.

As an 7 or 8 year old kid I played Portal around 2013-2014, and I remember being really worried that I might accidentally cut GLaDOS off if I did anything, so I would just stand still whenever she talked, but I also destroyed all the cameras because idk funny? so I heard that line my first playthrough. It just makes me love these games so much more that so much effort was put into them.

[@warmCabin]

This makes sense. You don't want her to interrupt herself, but you also don't want her to skip any camera lines. So they really needed to check the achievement counter and skip the dialogue counter ahead when it's 33.

[@calebstevenson6069]

I'm not trying to patronize you or be rude I just like thinking about this stuff, also, take what I say with a grain of salt as I'm not a valve employee and I'm an amateur programmer at best. There are better simpler implementations that don't require a connection to the steam service or reference to another part of the code, eg, simply keeping track of the times the player portals a camera off the wall independently of the dialogue playing or not; eliminating the need for a "Dialogue" counter in the first place. Safeguards around if the player dies might need to be considered depending on how the aforementioned code was implemented, eg not adding to the count if the player dies 15 times on a level and shoots the camera off the wall every one of those 15 times or 15 times without shooting it and only shooting it on the 16th time, but I digress.

[@cunny1]

yeah, the dialogue counter is no needed at all, the achievement counter does all the work

[@legomanshorts252]

@@cunny1 the achievements would cause it to reload same dialogue on new save

[@cunny1]

@@legomanshorts252 Isn't the achievement counter tied to the save file? otherwise, we would then be able to create 33 saves and destroy the first camera in each and eventually get the achievement

It's very rare to see extremely quality Portal content on this platform, let alone covering a topic as obscure as this glitched line. Hats off to you for bringing light to this! It'd been something I had known about for a very long while, but hadn't had the chance to ever talk about. You did it way better than I could with the presentation, even despite me being the Portal Lore Master :)

[@vict632]

I think the reason the achievement counter and the voiceline counter are separated by the "is glados talking" check, is to keep track of the achievement while also making sure that the player hears all 4 of the camera detachment voicelines. If both counters went up or if was just a single counter keeping track then everytime glados was already talking and a camera got detached, the corresponding voiceline would be skipped. A simple fix would be to have a check for the achievement counter before selecting a voiceline. Something like If(achieve.count = 33 OR voice.count = 33) { play special voiceline} Though everything seems obvious in hindsight

[@Fishman2028]

It may be that the game can send events to the achievement system, but can't read from it. In which case, it would have to have a third variable 😕. Probably worth, but still - unfortunate

[@managar5569]

Wouldnt you only need to check if achieve.count == 33? Since it counts the number of times the camera has been shot down and the voiceline counter, as mentioned in the video, almost never is equal to 33

[@TheLegendOfLame]

@@Fishman2028 It's highly unlikely, imo, that they can't read the memory related to achievements, as iirc the game has an in-game achievement tracker as well. In all honesty they could've just programmed it differently but didn't think about it enough. Bugs are a lot more obvious in hindsight once they're discovered

[@vict632]

@@managar5569 Yeah, maybe its just comparing to the wrong variable and that's all that would need to change. I used both in my example but as you point out the other counter would very likely never reach 33. Perhaps it was only meant to keep track of the first few instances and any checks beyond that should reference the achievement variable instead 🤔

[@skillfulfighter23]

The achievement counter is actually through steam. The game itself has no access to it. Steam listens for events and increments its own counter. This is why the game needs to keep track of it to do logic. This is nothing more than a simple bug with a simple fix. Just have a third counter that tracks which voice line was last played. It was just overlooked by the devs since the achievement worked as expected and nothing else depends on the number of destroyed cameras

[@ollies5097]

this is huge i need this

[@VenereJames]

this is something i never fully knew i was "studying", in my head canon every breakable object has a sort of healthbar that doesn't use regular hp but a "how many times can this thing be hit before it breaks regardless of how much damage it's supposed to be getting" bar, and ana's biotic rifle is an interesting (and infuriating) thing when it comes to that. a great example would be junkertown's bike in the attackers' spawn, where (almost) every bit of damage causes it to shake around. with the bike, ana's rifle can "shake" the bike up to three times. but the bike itself also has a cooldown between every shake so i could be entirely wrong!! anyhow i'd absolutely love a video on this

This feels like a spiritual successor to Doom's "ouch face" bug. It's a bug caused by a very obvious flaw in logic, but the effect is that a cosmetic feature rarely triggers (meaning most people won't even know it exists just by playing the game) with no effect on gameplay. I wonder if someone could mod portal to fix this bug (probably by adding a separate check to override the dialogue counter if the achievement counter is 33)
