Destroyible projectiles?

[HunterSeeker]

In the HL2 2004 bink trailer I spotted that when gordon uses the rpg on a combine standing at the crane the combine seems to shoot at the rocket just prior to getting hit. I dont think this has been discussed before.

Or have I just drunk to much water?

 

[BlueWhiteRed]

Yeah, people have noticed it ... It's a nice touch with the AI. It might be in other games but i haven't seen it before ...

 

[Roland Deschain]

He is too far away to see if he is shooing at the projectile, but descructible projectiles aren't really hard to model these days, so it's up to Valve to implement them or not.

 

[Neom]

Thats a big 10-4 on rockets being able to be shot down.

 

[Roland Deschain]

Well, in Doom 3 there is an instance where you have to shoot projectiles to beat that enemy, and if Doom 3 can do it, then you can bet Source can do it

 

[sHm0zY]

shows how smart the AI are =D

 

[Neom]

the soldier guys in the video seem to have a hard time with a small gun.But that gunship thing has sme killer aim.damn u cant shoot em from to far because they will take it down.

 

[dart321]

Yeah, rockets and grenades are now real rendered objects in Source I believe. Meaning you can shoot them because there "real" instead of being a script. Stuff like bullets is obviously not "real" because it would be pointless. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think I remember reading this somewhere.

 

[Neom]

yea grenades are real,as you can see in video he can grap with manipulator.

 

[SLH]

Grenades were 'real' in HL1, you loose 1hp if you get hit by a grenade.

 

[AlaskanStewie]

ROFL, reminds me in the days at a lan we had and we didn't allow any wepons, just grenades. It got pretty funny and intense.

wt do u mean by hit?

by after they hit the floor u cn;t reallydo much to them in HL1. In HL2 people throw them back and gordan can do the same with the manipulator

 

[Crusader]

I used to love that in CS... trying to kill someone by bouncing a 'nade off their noggin. Shame they took it out

 

[major5013]

Although in games like DOD, you were able to pick them up. Dont know if that has anything to do with this but oh well

 

[Jimlad]

Hardly realistic, but sounds like fun. Thing is, no matter how I look at it, shooting down a rocket with a pistol seems totally ridiculous. If it's in, I'm not sure I'd be able to keep myself from laughing out loud upon witnessing it.

its still in, happened to me last week in 1.6

 

[SLH]

wt do u mean by hit?

If someone throws one at you, and it bounces off you. You loose 1 hit point (as well as possible explosion damage of course).

ohhhh...cool i neva knew that
