interesting idea

Using the manipulator would you be able to stop bullets and shoot em back at the enemy?? would be cool if you could. :cheers:

 

[PatPwnt]

yea, if you could stop time and catch them?

 

[slicktick]

no... this is not the matrix plus they are moving way too fast and bullets arent simulated so it wouldnt work, end of discussion.

You can't stop bullets with the manipulator, since bullets aren't physically simulated in HL2.

 

[PatPwnt]

yea they are... I saw them in the new videos... jk

It will be in some sort of mod eventually, bullets just have to be made as physical objects that can be manipulated by the physics and your in business.

 

[TIIMMYY]

oh well

Welcome to the forums!!! :cheers:




And, nope not possible in HL2. I am pretty certain of that.

Bullets aren't simulated objects, so you cant stop them

Ow? that's all you have to do ey...

 

[TIIMMYY]

Someone should make it

Does everyone have to start a thread on every idea they think of?

I would assume it would require making a weapon work differently from how the usual guns in HL2 will work.

Look at the rockets fired from the rocket launcher, those are probably physical objects that can be made to have physics attached to them.

Of course it would be a huge burden on the CPU but its probably not impossible to do.

 

[Cynical]

its wierd tho that u cant grab weapons from enemys hands using the manipulator. those combine troopers must have some sort of super grip or something

 

[tkato]

nope.
btw you can`t kill enemies with it but it can carry thier bodys... ones they are dead .
OMG OMG Strider OMG OMG ooo

 

[TIIMMYY]

maybe you can fling em around while they are still alive and slam em into other enemys

 

[Jadewolf5675]

No. Seriously, no.

Sorry, but no.

Does this make sense to anyone other than the whole gameplay mechanics thing? If the combine had an anti-anti gravity modual I would believe that. But then you could work that into game play mechanics. Shoot their modual then you can pick them up while they are alive. You would also be able to lift your allies into sniper spots. OR you could solve crazy puzzles by moving friends to different elevations.

Better yet you should be able to pick up head crabs and throw them at your enemies. Then they would latch onto their heads and kill them. wouldn't work on the combine because the have maska but who knows.

The fun parts are easy it's the programming that's hard.
