// This is called each frame for each client to all portals to close
// when the viewer is far enough away, or on the backside.
//
// The default implementation closes the portal if the viewer (plus some padding)
// is on the backside of the portal. Return false if you close the portal.
//
// Returns whether or not the (server part of) the engine was told to shut the
// portal off for purposes of flowing through portals to determine which areas to
// send to the client.
//
//
// bIsOpenOnClient is usually the same as the return value but NOT always. Here's why (explained
// here in depth because this case was discovered in a lengthy debugging session):
//
// - Each CFuncAreaPortalBase represents two dareaportal_t's (matched by CFuncAreaPortalBase::m_portalNumber
// and dareaportal_t::m_PortalKey). Each dareaportal_t leads into one of the connected areas
// and the dareaportal_t's have opposite-facing planes.
//
// - The engine's SetAreaPortalState function takes a portal key and closes BOTH dareaportal_t's associated with it.
//
// - UpdateVisibility may decide a portal leading out of the _area you're sitting in_ can be closed
// for purposes of flowing through areas because you're on the backside of the dareaportal_t that
// you would flow out of.
//
// - At the same time, you might be able to look through the other dareaportal_t attached to
// that portal key (right back into the area you're standing in).
//
// - An illustration:
//
// --------------------
// | |
// | |--------|aaaaaa|
// | | |bbbbbb| <---- aaaa and bbbb area both for PortalKey1
// |**| | |
// | | | area |
// |**| | 2 |
// | | |------|
// | | | |
// | ---------- area |
// | 1 |
// |------------------|
//
// "aaaa" and "bbbb" each represent a different dareaportal_t, (aaa leads into area 2 and
// bbb leads into area 1). They both represent the same portal key though (call it PortalKey1).
//
// When standing in area 1 (where the "area 1" text is), the engine will check aaaa and it'll notice
// that you're on the wrong side of aaaa to be looking through it, so it'll say that PortalKey1 is closed
// for purposes of flowing through areas on the server (it turns out you can get to area 2 through
// the portal right above the "area 1" text).
//
// If you told the client that PortalKey1 was closed, then you'd get a pop when moving from area 1
// to area 2 because the client would think you couldn't see through PortalKey1 into area 1 UNTIL
// the server transmitted the new updated PortalKey bits, which can be lagged.
//
// That's why we have bIsOpenOnClient which doesn't include this backfacing test.
//
// .. and they all lived happily ever after.
// The End
//
//
//
// Note: when you're standing in the space between the **'s, then the server would stop transmitting
// the contents of area 2 because there would be no portal you were on the correct side of to
// see into area 2.
