What the sh!t is Grunt-o-matic?

[HeadCrabMolester]

The console command is "impulse 76"...after inputting this I get a "you must restart the game in order for grunt-o-matic to take effect"...er...something similar...and I do...and well...nothing...not a damn thing happens.

So, someone, anyone, what's the point of grunt-o-matic?...


er...what the hell...and what's the meaning of life?

 

[bliink]

it allows monster spawning of grunts about 2 metres infront of you.
Do this to make it work (in console)
mp_allowmonsters 1 (if you're in multiplayer)
sv_cheats 1
impulse 76
restart

now, impulse 76 will spawn grunts in fron of you.

er...and, what the hell, while I'm at it...what's the meaning of life?

Well, I don't know what the meaning of just life is. But the meaning of life, the universe and everything else is 42.

 

[luketabor]

maybe a grunt is just an overwatch unit or a CP or something

 

[HeadCrabMolester]

Douglas Adams...you're well read, Banaticus *tips hat*...but what's the question to the meaning of life, the universe, and everything?

 

[B-MAn]

so does it work?

 

[bliink]

Its a halflife 1 command!
.... damn person posted it in the wrong section!
We need a mod to move... oh wait..

*Moved the hell out of general hl2* :E

 

[B-MAn]

aw...i gt excited for no reason

 

[HeadCrabMolester]

erm...how do you mean bliink?

 

[bliink]

erm...how do you mean bliink?

The command is for HL1.
Go into a game, drop the console with "~"
then type
sv_cheats 1 (and press enter)
mp_allowmonsters 1 (use this if you're in multiplayer)
impulse 76 (wont do anything yet)
restart (will restart the map with grunt o matic on)
then when you use the impulse 76 command, a grunt will spawn a little bit in front of you.

cus i've entered it in the HL2 console...and it sorta works...in the respect that the console detects it as a ligit command...but other than that...I'm not sure if it does anything more...but it does sorta kinda work in HL2

ah, in hl2, theres nothing for it to spawn, the grunts aren't in there.
Its just leftover code from hl1, they obviously copied over all the old impulse commands.
Just use "npc_create npc_combine_soldier" instead

 

[HeadCrabMolester]

welp...s'pose that answers that...umm...oh yeah...and the meaning of all this? *gestures behind him...referring to life and all there of*

oh that? thats much easier...
for the meaning of life, you use impulse_42

Wouldn't Marvin be too depressed to eat anyway?
