During the Halflife2.net interview Gave mentioned about wieght and balancing on beams and breaking and such... so my question...

If two very large objects..say 2 cars...were placed on opposite ends of a board that was teatering on a non crushaable object - as a barrel would probably squish, would the board flat out snap in half?


Just tickling the imagination here...
 
As I understand it can be made to do so.

But it won't snap on different locations, just where the weak spots are located by the maker.
 
I want to have bombs... and blow up stuff...

about your Q..... hmm, i guess it might snap in half... only one way to find out, wait till sep. 30th.

If you just put a standard prefab barrel in, it wouldn't squish. Gabe has already mentioned that if you wanted something like a barrel to crush under your weight, you'd need to replace it with a crushed-barrel model seperately.

If you have nothing productive to say, don't say it. You've been doing this the whole time on the forum, so consider this your first and last warning.

Enough of this. You don't contribute anything to the forum, and most of your posts are flames or spam. It's ban time!

Does that.. turn you on? :naughty:

I mean uh, good! Return to your craphole, mere peasant!
 
*claps*

Thank you Abom. The trolls are becoming like a plague :eek:
 
I dont get it.... I didnt troll. That is my form of insult, or interjection. I found out that the barrels dont squish without being flagged and I thought "douche sock". Some guys on a thread thought it was funny so I kept it up. FOB, I never insulted you so wtf do you have against me?

Let's take a little look at your track-record, shall we?

http://www.halflife2.net/forums/search.php?s=&action=showresults&searchid=14922

You haven't contributed anything at all to this forum, and have made totally random comments like "douche glove" in a seemingly normal thread. I warned you, I really did, but you took no notice of it. Now you must face the consequences.
 
Im sorry, but youre dead wrong there. Ive contributed A LOT to this forum, but when we have no new anything for like a week of course Im going to dick around.
 
That's for the staff to decide, actually. Plus you just broke this rule:

Circumventing a Ban

If you log onto the Halflife2.net forums and receive a message that you have been banned, please submit an unban request and wait for a Halflife2.net staff member to get in touch with you.

So yeah, banned. Again.
 
Back on topic then...

I think the map designer would have to script something like this.

Not to bust your bubble or anything but if he was dedicated there are ways around this. Not that I'm implying I wish to be banned... :cheers:
 
Well i always thought that this was going to be a built in part of the engine, but due to more recent information, it seems that the map designer has to specify where the wood will break, otherwise it won't break at all.

But i thought gabe said something like ''...it will spliner like wood...'' as in all they have to do is specify to the engine that the material is wood.
;(

I'm just following procedure. I gave him a warning first, then he continued to pratt around. There are no second warnings.
 
Ummm.... I guess I registered again. But how do I talk to you guys? I dont see those little IM things.

it's not like the game knows what you want... it will teeter probably unless you tell it that it can break..
 
Well i thought that wood would have a certain set of properties (like being breakable etc.) and if you wanted something other that that you would have to specify it yourself.
 
Yea really, what if you wanted to make a barrel that was solid metal? I can see why you would have to flag it.

it does have a certain set of properties.. it just might be different than what you're expecting, either way it's not going to be impossible or even hard to get it how you want... why not wait till you get the sdk to complain about it though?
