pellet interaction part 1

Description
what it says on the tin.
plus TWTM mechanics.
kept this one with few items, as it's the 1st.
The pellet interaction part 2 & 3 (under construction) will get harder. but will show many different ways pellets can be muniplated, when interacting with other items. as I could not remember much of them in portal (so long ago) I have been experimenting.
pellet math:
pellets travel 20 tiles.
due to pellet emitter extruding from wall, it goes slightly into 21st tile.
in a funel the whole time, it only travels 4 tiles.
going through a funel for only 1 tile,
it is as if it went through 5 tiles.
eg. 10 tiles + 2 tiles with funels = 20 tiles.
so it won't reach the 13th tile.
(well slightly into it)
going through a portal resets the pellet to a range of
20 tiles. but won't go through a portal 20 tiles away.
19 yes. or yes 20 tiles from emitter.

Your description doesn't give away the solution but it really helps to understand what's happening. I'm working on a new map and will have a link for you probably tomorrow.

thankyou
I understand.
I can't remember much about it from the original portal.
hence, the experimenting in the editor.
I have had a portal & TWTM break.
but will get back to it soon.
a link to a new TWTM map of yours would help me get back to it :)
hint, hint.
ps. I was worried the math in the description might give the solution away.

Hey mood. I played with this one so many times. I guess I don't have enough experience with pellets. I read your description. It is clear so that's not it. Maybe the TWTM concepts combined with an element I've hardly ever worked with is the reason I resorted to the video. After watching, it still took several tries to get that door open. :) This is a really good puzzle map. Can't imagine the workings of a mind that could create something as impressive as this. Great work.

spoiler video walkthrough above, to check you do intended solution.
please play the map 1st, so not to spoil it for you.
all constructive feedback welcome. good or bad.
glass & grating, are to stop accidental deaths from goo & being crushed by piston.
their is a "multiple function" & an "OR gate" on the piston, (& connected to it)
to prevent getting trapped, if the player is on it when it is deactivated.
enjoy :)
