I wonder....

[Silent_night]

u know the part in the e3 2k4 video were he takes the blade with the manipulaor gun and shoots it at the zombie ? well i wonder if u shoot it at a combine if he will get slice in half , also i wonder if u shoot the blade at the neck his head will fall off , and i wonder if u shoot it from an upward angle if the enemy will get sliced in that way.

Is this some sort of weird poetic form?

Anyway, I don't know if Valve is going to implement dismemberment, but I'd guess not since a rocket didn't harm the body of the combine on the crane.

I wonder too... Those sawblades look really nice and all, but what if you pick one up that isn't 100% horizontal? will it flubber in the air and fall down? And if combine don't have err... tear points, (how) will they get chopped in pieces by these things?

I think this is possibly the scariest post I've read in a long time.

Im slightly speculating, but its based on what i've learnt from ppl in this forum so here goes;

I'd imagine you can cut the body in half or head off of everything human-esque.
To cut a body in half/head off you need 3 models.
-Normal
-2 body halves
-Head cut off

you simple swop the model out when its hit. (if blade hits hit box around waiste, swop model for 2body halve model)

As for holding the blade vertically, i believe the manipulator holds certain things certain ways, and so no way to rotate objects.
Even if you could, you'd need models for each possible "Cut" outcome and so wouldn't be practical.


Hope that helps

LOL I think they will get choped up =D

There won't be any cutting in half in HL2..

well done for making sure you're 100% right!

you're actually 100% wrong but nm!

the vid that silent night refers to shows cutting in half (traptown and e3 vid) so NERRRRRRRRRRRRR

He's talking about human dismemberment.

from what I remember he shot the blade and it hit the zombie in the head or chest I think, and the body split at the stomache I think.

I think the zombie is the only model we know at this moment which will be able to be split apart, and where it does are predefined..

What I want to know is if you can't slice a combine, or any other enemy in half would the circular saw (as mentioned) stick out of their body where you shot it at em? Kinda like the crossbow bolt, its already been said that the actual arrow will stay in the world, stuck into an enemy.

The sawblades align to be perfectly straight in the manipulator, methinks.

 

[Silent_night]

it would be stupid though if u shoot the blade at a zombies ankle and he gets choped from the waste

 

[chimpmunk]

i think he just wouldn'T chop.

 

[yadalogo]

Zombies have multiple break points, as do most objects and characters! Remeber in the e3 video when hes shotgunin the bugs and their wings and legs fly off hella cool!

 

[Cyber$nake]

true. I think that there will be multiple "chop points" on most models for reasons. why make such a complicated game and leave something like that out?

 

[Headcrab Cakes]

there better be plenty a chop point because i plan on chopping plenty of enemy chop points when i get this game!

Actually no... the ant lions just blew up in pieces or a random small gib just came off of them if they didn't blow up. sorry.

 

[Brian Damage]

Definitely looks like they broke up to me, PatPwnt... I's swear I can see only the legs that have been shot flying off at some points in the movie, and a direct hit seems to detach every limb at others...

yay, score one for rafael

 

[eber]

whos rafael

Me /10char!

Everyone is saying that there wont be dismemberment. But in the traptown video when he ducks under that blade swing thingy zombies were cut in half left and right. Maybe it wont be like SoF2 but crazy stuff still may happen.
