Portals

SpaceLoader activation

A SpaceLoader (see the common "Joining another space" section) component is located on each portal.
During the Awake(), it updates the portal text fields using the SpaceDescription scriptable object parameter.
When a player enter on the portal platform, it start the "Exit" process to load the new scene.

C#

private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
    if (other.GetComponentInParent<HardwareHand>())
    {
        exitingTriggerCollider = other;
        StartExiting();
    }
}

The StartExiting() method includes a protection agains unexpected scene loading.
