Castle Paradox

I'm sure many of you have played the puzzle game 'Portal'.
What I'm hoping for is a way to make portal within OHRRPGCE. I have the idea of using portals which would appear on the next 'wall' in front of the player when a specific button (keyboard/mouse) is pressed.
I'm no good at scripting - I really should learn.
Any way the requirement for this code (if possible) are:
When button (keyboard/mouse) 1 is pressed portal 1 appears on the next wall in front of the player
When button (keyboard/mouse) 2 in pressed portal 2 appears on the next wall in front of the player
The above to can be combined if needed (preferred not) so it toggles between the two (portal 1 then portal 2 etc)
The two portals are only connected to each other in both directions (like doors)
If portal 1 is 'open' and button 1 is pressed and a 2nd portal 1 can be created then previous portal 1 closes (same with portal 2)
If player moves away from map then portals 1 and 2 close
Portals can not be opened upon one another

Extras for script (if possible) are:
Portals close if a certain tile is touched (could be harm tiles as probably no harm tiles to hurt player)
Portals can be 'fired' through walls which the player can not go through
Portals can only be opened on specified walls

I was thinking perhaps the portals are some kind of vehicle (as they travel) which would possibly make the 2nd extra easier as walls can be defined for player and vehicle separately.

Sorry, I waffle. You will be very much praised among the game if you can work this problem out. Thank you in advance.

You can't manipulate doors with scripting, so what you will probably want to do is create a step on NPC on the wall, as well as modify the passmap to let the player step on it, and maybe the tilemap too. You could reserve 2 npc IDs on every map to simplify things, or use one twice. To find the position of the exit, you can just check whether the other NPC exists on the map, and if so, where.

The part that you have to put together is how to decide whether a wall is suitable for a portal (what is a wall?), and how to modify it, taking layers into account if you're using them. Then scan the tiles in front of the hero in a line for a wall.

Using the mouse for that seems awkward when the player has to use the keyboard for everything else (unless they are using a joystick)
