Impulse 101, doesn't give you the blue grav gun.

can you get it?
 
You gotta go to one of the maps where you get the blue grav gun, then you just go to another map and use give physcannon.
 
Yeah you can.
You have to load a save game where you have it, and use the changelevel console line to load a previous map. And then use impulse 101 or whatever.

Actually, I think you use give weapon_physgun (or maybe cannon).

EDIT: I hate it when I post something just after someone else, repeating what they just said :p
 
or impulse 101, for that matter.

be sure not to pick up combine APC, for some reason it lags like a bitch when you do that.

Yeah, it crashes for me when I do it.
I guess they didn't work in the correct weight for that beast.
 
O.K thanks.

They make it especially difficult to spawn the blue grav gun, I wonder why?

Because you're not supposed to go through the game with it? It's also not a seperate weapon me guesses but a.. "mod" on the previously owned gravgun.

apparently they underwent a lot of trouble to make sure you don't get it, the fact you can with that trick is merely a bug they didn't think of (wich suprises me).
we'll find out how the damn thing works with the full SDK
 
It must be a variable on the map or something because the command to spawn the manipulator is the same for the regular and blue.
 
I have completed the game and want to use the blue gravity gun in the beginning of the game when you step off the train.

if it was about weight, the grav gun would only not pick it up/ pick it up clumsily and slowly, and that would be pretty much the end of the story.
i'm thinking more about bad polys underneath the apc ? i don't think it's about that, but that's really the only thing i can think of.

that's precisely the point. it is much easier and would make much more sense to just reskin the manipulator and redo a weapon - and that's about it. no, what valve did is halfway between a weapon mod, a different skin, a different weapon and a variable. it's a indescribable mess.

did you even read the thread?
 
TUT DARN CHEATS. please complete game first. whats the point in buying the game if you dont want to complete it. i completed the game in 2 days and druled over every second of it. cheats get boring.

mabye i'me just talking like this because i spent 500 pounds upgrading because of this game
 
I have finished the game.... and I want to restart with the blue gun.

I went to a saved game that had the gun then used the console to change the map to an early one.... but when I did "give weapon_physgun" or "give weapon_physcannon" it just says something about not finding the file (can't really remember what it said) and "impluse 101" only gives me the normal grav gun.

I get the same when I try and use things like
weapon_gauss
weapon_hopwire
weapon_iceaxe

What am I doing wrong?
 
There may be another way to get it. I was trying to find out how to spawn elite combine and came up with this instead:

RESPONSE CRITERIA FOR: npc_combine_s (citadel_npc_sold_pushpullhall2_1_3)
map = 'd3_citadel_03'
classname = 'npc_combine_s'
name = 'citadel_npc_sold_pushpullhall2_1_3'
health = '70'
healthfrac = '1.000'
skill.cfg = '1'

super_phys_gun = '1'
playerhealth = '93'
playerhealthfrac = '0.930'
playerweapon = 'weapon_physcannon'
playeractivity = 'ACT_WALK'
playerspeed = '400.111'
gordon_precriminal = '0'
Ragdoll separation flags: 0007 (4774)


I have no idea how to set super_phys_gun to 1 in the console. super_phys_gun 1 doesn't work. Anyone with a more intimate knowledge of the console commands have any ideas?
 
@Nutty
Bad boy. You've been using the stolen build. Those last three weapons aren't in HL2.

EDIT
Niiiiice, Monkey! Someone try that, quick! I think you might be on to something! I knew it was called the Super Physgun or whatever, but I didn't know how to call the gun in the console.
 
This was posted by another person

1. enable the console by going to options>keybord>advanced>enable developer's console.

2. after that type "sv_cheats 1" without the quotes.

3. Type "map d3_citadel_04" (without quotes) into the console. your map will change to one of the citadel map's.

4. Then type "changelevel d1_trainstation_02" (or whatever level you like)


Then type "give weapon_physcannon" thats it. this is the ONLY way to get the gun! (The Blue grav gun)

Nope, I got a real copy from a shop.. cost me £34 :angry:

I can post a pic of the DVD and box if you want to see.

Oh, and the weapons "weapon_gauss weapon_hopwire weapon_iceaxe" were just the first 3 cheats I got off a site to use as an example.

I would like to see what they are and see if I can use them.
 
Ive read that you can set the physcannon_ commands to make it so you can virtually use the orange physgun as the blue physgun.

What are those commands?
 
physcannon_* there's like 5 or so. Only the blue one allows you to pick up characters though. It's pretty interesting when you shoot NPCs. They die but are split so one's alive and one's dead, crazy. And he's not playing the stolen build the weapon_ list is out and about and there are a bunch of variables that don't work. Pitty too, I really wanted that nifty sniper gun they shoot at you.
 
I got the blue gun now, but it takes the fun out of the game... makes it too easy.

And the game hates you doing things your not supposed to be doing.

noclip is handy... I found G Man sitting in a room :E
 
It's also very weird because all your guns now disentegrate the guys when you kill them.
 
please be careful with how much you mention spoilers such as the blue gravity gun in the thread titles and even in the replies. Unfortunately, I knew about the blue gravity gun and some of the ending before I even beat the third level thanks to people making it blatantly obvious in threads
 
The error I got when i tried the blue super grav gun to pick up the buggy or apc or airboat had to do with too many something, corners or intersections or angles or something, so think it isnt the weight, but the complexity of the model.
I was able to shift the big cargo containers and such with zapping .

The give weapon_physcannon and give weapon_physgun didnt seem to do anything for me, I just went to a save game in the late citadel, then did changelevel d1_trainstation_03. I found some triggers didnt work (like in the lab) so I've had to do a changelevel a few times , like once alyx wouldnt open the doors.

With the grav gun, you dont pick up ammo and the enemies disappear. After I played thru the part where they give you the suit and thru when I get my first gun, and after that, using 'next weapon', 'previous weapon' I could still us the other guns, just not by using 1,2,3,4,5,6.

Blue grav gun just aint enough when facing the snipers trying to help barney
