mod idea

[JERUSALEM]

Hey there

I got a cool idea for you modelers out there...a TREBUCHET!
(you know, that catapult thingy from LOTR return of the king)

Wouldn't this be the sweetest thing to see in hl2, to really show off the physics of the game...
Picture a trebuchet flinging a car in the air into a wooden crate castle...FUN!

Your thoughts on this subject would be appreciated. I imagine the toughest past of the design would be the sling and trigger

Hahahaha, that would be cool... some primative resistance weapon flinging headcrabs at the combine

They did that in a beta map, there was a big field goal post and you would launch the G-man over it, no lie

edit::note to self place link inside post
ya know i read the same thing on erm...wait a sec....linky i think the engine might not be physicy enough for it, but then the SDK is only for cs:source atm so heres praying for some complex traps

Is that the one that launches the buggy?

It's fun. Shoot up the supports first.
