weapon physics

Been wondering if there any possibility that i could disable the physics on a special weapon cause using the physics makes it to easy to get.

a face from the past. /me waves.

cannot answer your question but, i have noticed that a lot of maps were not as good because of this.. even the Valve remakes have not taken this into consideration.. its to easy to get the RPG off of a ledge, that in HL1 was a good hiding spot for it. :sad:

/me advises, build a cage of some sort to prevent it from being sucked to the player. assuming you cannot disable the physics.

i havent tried it out yet, but couldnt you make a func_clip_vphysics (think its called that) brush around the weapon.

I really dont know what your talking about: "disable the physics", what
does that mean? Prevent a weapon from moving? Stop the gun from
shooting physics :razz: ?

you're jokin, right?

you mean, you do not use the gravity gun to slurp the weapons/items to you from afar?

Make it so that there is a Box around the RPG with a cage texture on it. Put it on a ledge. If the player manages to get onto the ledge, have a button there that lowers the cage walls allowing that player to get the RPG. It's brilliant!

You can do that, I guess this guy is trying to prevent you from doing that I guess. But his wording was wacky:

disable the physics on a special weapon cause using the physics makes it to easy to get.

Maybe im being picky here, but why didn't he just say: "prevent the
weapon from being picked up by the gravity gun" instead of the term
"physics".

shrugs

i dunno. perhaps its because the physics engine drives the whole game..
