Gunship Crash

ok so this gunship crashes instead of blowing up after 3 rockets in easy mode, anyone know why?

 

[ríomhaire]

Yeah, that's a bug for if you blow it up over land. I actually just drove past and tried not to get killed. If you look at the tail you'll see it has insect wings and not rotor-blades!

 

[DEATHMASTER]

I guess it's literally a bug then!

 

[Axyon]

It's not a bug, it's just to make it more exciting - heck, it even happened in the 2003 E3 video.

 

[Is This Tea]

That happens pretty frequently during that specific part.

Edit: Why is this thread titled Valve?

 

[DEATHMASTER]

heh, it was supposed to be about something else but this was better

More people would look at it than if it was called "OMG, teh GunShiP cRAsheD!!1111!
Calling all mods: please edit the title

on my first run through hl2 all gunships exploded when i killed them, but then on my 2nd run through hl2, about 3/5 of them crashlanded instead. i always thought they blew up when they died until then. twas a nice revelation.

 

[Foebane]

It sucks.

 

[DoctorWeeTodd]

It only explodes if it hits the water or is killed in the background. All other gunship deaths have it's physical remains crash land.

At least thats how it happened in my experiences.

 

[Asknoone]

It sucks.

Yes, you do.

 

[ríomhaire]

I have never had a guinship crashland on me.

I have never had a guinship crashland on me.

Then how would you know the info in your original response?

 

[Cukel]

The gunship is scripted to crash land if it is killed in above the road and if its looking at the right direction. This was in the E3 Coast video too... I wish people would stop making threads about this.
Looks damn nice tho, the crashing.
I can post a screenshot of where it should be killed when I come home, so you can make it crash whenever you want to.

QFT.

Kinda gets annoying.

Me not ever having done it makes it more annoying

 

[Jintor]

If i remember correctly it's not scripted.

It will crash if it is projected to crash onto land, or something along those lines. Should it be destroyed over water it will explode... i remember taking down one of them gunships at the lighthouse and it fell onto some houses... didn't get a chance to examine properly because it was a bit chaotic at that point.

I've read the other threads and I'm extremly good at remembering useless info.

Thats sad :dork:

 

[WhiteZero]

Or maybe he has the violence restriction on?

 

[Dr. Freeman]

hmm..the gunship almost always crashed somewhere on the road for me so for it to be considered a bug? kinda strange to me.

 

[Asknoone]

It mainly just explodes for me, and usually, if I fancy having it crash onto the road I'll make sure I take it down when its over the road. Once however, it never exploded and fell into the sea.
