Would the Sawblades from Ravenholm work?

[Slainchild]

Would they work in DM?, or arent the models choppable?

/me imagines throwing sawblades around a small packed room :O :E

 

[seinfeldrules]

Awesome idea.

 

[WacK]

yeah, it would be great

 

[vanilla]

uhhhh ****ing rofl just slizing a body over ;D

I think sawblades only cut zombies in half as Valve added specific model animations for them to do that. I doubt our player models have the same animation added, but it would be great if they do.

I was messing around with the model viewer earlier, and I didn't see anything like that. Odds are the models aren't destructable like that.

* shrugs *

Maybe someone could make the models fairly easily. I mean, the inside of a zombie and the inside of a person aren't too different, so maybe someone could split the soldier and civilian models in two and just paste in the zombie guts.

Try spawning a few sawblades and some combines (if its possible) and see if you can cut them in two.

Tisnt, Go to model viewer, they have zombie models, torso and leg models for zombies, and zombies only Would be kickass though.

 

[NeptuneUK]

i suppose it could be modded in

 

[Ennui]

That'd be nice... but also annoying as hell.

Sort of like getting brained with a sink.

the models could easily be made to be cut in half, and we dont even need that really, just throw a sawblade at someone and it kills them.

now im sure valve would be smart enough to make a DM level based in Ravenholm though
traps, paintcans, and sawblades galore :thumbs:

 

[cylyk]

it doesn't cut other players in half, I tested it

Sawblades would be too powerful anyway. As it is right now, objects tend to turn end-over-end while in the air, which can result in less damage impacts or missing the enemy entirely. Sawblades, if they acted like the singleplayer (as they should) fly in a dead straight line very quickly - it'd be a garunteed instant kill, if you aimed correctly. Too overpowered.

Maybe there should be only one or two in the map, that way there wouldnt be a sawblade spam-a-thon.

^yea, they have those rare hard to find hard to get weapons... they could do the same with objects! :thumbs:
