Cars In Love With The Gravity Gun...

[Mujuro]

Here is a quote from PCGamer, describing the Gravity Gun. "...which comes in handy for shoving smoldering cars and other large obstacles ou of your path." For those of you whom said you can't move cars and large objects, guess you can, eh? (Sorry if I can't post a quote.)

i believe you can shoot at them with the grav gun, but you can't "pick them up"

Well they said long ago that there would be a weight limit, we assumed that meant a car was going to be too heavy but I guess not. It looks like I have a new method of taking down Striders. heheh.

 

[poksmote]

remember that the gravity gun has a blast function. you can move cars without picking them up. (the video where someone gets the buggy stuck on a cliff, used the gun to blast it back onto the road, then on top of a soldier.)

There was that bink video with the guy grabbing the dune buggy after it got hung up on the edge of a cliff. I think that's what they mean - not full-on lifting and moving, but "bouncing" heavy things.

Exactly.

Picking up cars would be just a little too much.

Regardless, it still will be fun.

probably (unless somehow you can grab its feet without being impaled and the game allows it) the main body of the strider is too far away
unless you get a guass cannon, shoot down so you go up,
attach to strider from above with manipulator (heh heh)
if you think about it, you would be able to make the strider walk you around while you hang out in mid air
...now the only problem: getting down
even though this most likely wouldnt work because that would be pretty dumb
it would still be really cool

also i thought this was badly done:
on the coast video when gordon gets into the crane, he hits that combine
i just hate the way that he dies :angry:
its so cheesy

 

[Intamin]

I would think the death of that combine being "cheesy," as you say, would be due to a combination of both the physics and ragdolls--it's as real as it can get without realistic gibbing and real world physics, which HL2 basically has anyway.

So in reality, what's to say that wouldn't happen, have you ever seen a real combine get blown off a crane by a rocket launcher? Nah, didn't think so...

Exactly.

but it would be awesome im gonna make a mod where you can pick up EVERYTHING

 

[The Mullinator]

but it would be awesome im gonna make a mod where you can pick up EVERYTHING

I wonder what an Incredible Hulk type of mod would be like. :O

Now that could be pretty damn fun.

 

[Jesus Lincoln]

You cant lift--you can shoot it--like the bink

 

[dream431ca]

LOL!! Fortunatly because of the mods and probably the console commands you can edit the Manipulator to pick it up and shoot it...I hope..that would rock.

 

[The Lost EVA]

Someone will probably make a tweak so you can lift the cars.

 

[KNoX]

i could rip lamp post of of the ground and swing it with the manipulator and you could like rip out a house and shoot it at a STRIIIIIDEEERRRR!!!

that would be fuc*ing awesome
or you could pick up a combine tank whith the combine still inside it!!!!!!
or rip a wall of a building ohhhhh that would be coooo000oollll

 

[Cole]

Take the Strider and throw it at a combine

 

[nw909]

I bet there is a weight limit console command.

Imagine that, find a tank, pick it up, hurl it at enemies.

 

[KNoX]

yep it would be cool very cool but i want to be able to throw a tank at a wal and have the wall cave in !!!! THAT WOULD BE SOOOO COOL!!!!

 

[groovy]

With a manipulator you are almost invincible. Against a few combine soldiers you can just pick up a random innate object, use it as a shield and then blast it at them. Something that i'd really like to do is some how trip Striders by blasting one of their legs away with the manipulator so they'd topple over.

 

[KNoX]

do you think it might be overpowerfull?

 

[Teta_Bonita]

I bet there is a weight limit console command.

no duh. sv_gravity, anyone? :naughty:
