You wanted the Hydra? This gets pretty close...

[BRX]

I dunno if anyone had already tried it, but in case not...

It's really really simple and has a super-cool outcome.
Using Garrysmod, use the pistol's "attach manhack" and make a looong (20-30) manhack chain (I made two). If you give it targets, it will act like a whip (kinda like the Hydra) and it'll seem as if it had intelligence beyond that of each individual manhack, like they work together... it comes out really nice.
Here are some screens:

1
2
3
4
5
6

OK so maybe it isn't like the Hydra... But it's really neat anyways

Say, that is pretty cool! It actually attacks the citizens like a hydra, because well, that is what manhacks do!

Pretty neat, I will have to try that.

What's it like in action?

What's it like in action?

The manhack chain acts like a whip, elastic and all, "working" together to kill anything in the area. It's really 'smooth' and fun to watch...
Especially when you make an octopus of these (8 of them) and spawn 100's of civils

 

[subtlesnake]

Man, someone really needs to put up a video.

I would have, but with my lame-ass PC my framerates are so bad that I won't bother.

 

[Cukel]

Looks neat. Ill try that.

But relating to that, I attatched dozens of manhacks into the airplane at the edge of buildingblocks_final. It moved slowly and clumsy, but it was really hilarious.

 

[DreadLord]

Awesome!

Make a demo of it in action, and email it to [email protected]

Ill put it in a HQ video..

When you want to start the demo type this in console:
record hydra

and to end it type:
stop

Then the file will be in your Half Life 2/hl2 directory

 

[BRX]

DreadLord, the file (4Megs) is too big for me to send it via eMail. Any other way I can get it to you? IM maybe?

[L337_Assasain]

Where can you get that map other than HLworld, because i'm npt a member there and they haven't sent me the confirmation of my account yet..

 

[BRX]

uuuummmmmmmmm
maybe at www.half life2files.com
(without space..)

 

[The Bait]

It isnt working...the link that is.

 

[L337_Assasain]

They only seem to have a map pack, or the previous versions of building blocks.

 

[FoxDie]

Whenever I press "New Game" in Garrysmod it crashes. Does anyone know what the problem is?

EDIT: You don't need the SDK installed, do you?

 

[BRX]

It isnt working...the link that is.

Are you talking about the savegame or the website I linked to?

 

[L337_Assasain]

The guys over at HLworld sure are taking there time activating my account (or there just ****ing morons)
Is there any other place to get that map (buildingblocks_final)?

 

[BRX]

You don't start a new game in garry, you need to load the map you want to play in manually. Type in the console:
map_XXXXXXX (X's where the name of the map should be)

 

[coolmich]

link dosent work

 

[BRX]

People, if you're havong problems finding this map... search the forums!

Thanks, but how do I know the map names?

 

[BRX]

Just type
map
and then space
it will list all of the maps you can load, and you can scroll through using the up\down arrow keys
