Player who can't swin ?

[lezebulon]

Hi

I was just wondering if there's a way to make the player not able to swimm... for instance there's a beach and if you want to escape by swimming, the player, who can't swimm, just fall to the bottom of the water and can't come to the surface unless he 'walks' back to a un-submerdged area... if he don"t, he can't move 'up' to the surface and die because he has no air (as in real life )

So i you have any idea on how i could do that with Hammer...
thx

I just want to say that this is a great idea. I got kind of tired of seeing every other character in games have the ability to swim.

There's always the hl2 leeches.

player clip brush would work better

I think he's talking about diabling the player's ability to swim, not preventing the player from entering water.

This would have to be done through coding, but I can't imagine it being very difficult to change. The question is, do you really want to change the code, or could you simply prevent the player from entering the water by any of the means listed above?

How about the PainKiller solution...dying a horrible, screaming, bloody death whenever you hit water surrounding a stage

disable swim movement in the code...

leeches or clip

why complicate things?
