insta Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 Whoopservatory for Half-Life 2:Episode 2 Setup: Dr.Magnusson has been conducting a personal project in an old observatory. After an unfortunate outbreak of Zombie-itis the lab had to be quickly evacuated. You must go in and wreck up the place before it falls into the wrong hands!! about: This is a map I mainly made to showcase the player cloning gameplay mechanic. The idea is that you record your actions, then a clone repeats these actions which helps you navigate through rooms. Of course, there's still some combat involved to keep things interesting I wrote some stuff about the scripting here, in case you want to see how it's done. Screenshots: Download: Right here! Quote
Minos Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 It's the best HL2 SP mod I have ever played! Recommended! Quote
FrieChamp Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 That sounds really cool and the fact that you did this without any programming gives me a boner, too. :embarrassed: Quote
Tailgunner Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 Looks super great, gonna try it at lunch Quote
Jenn0_Bing Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 Very fun, the gameplay mechanics were great. But there wasn't enough of it! Quote
Serenius Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 This looks incredibly clever. Can't wait to try it. Quote
bokeh Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 superb mapping & attention to detail, would liked to have had more recorder puzzles though. looking at the blog post on your i/o work & use of scripted sequences, i'm rusty on source mapping but would it be possible instead to spawn path tracks at the player position on a timer (eg at 0.5s intervals), using the point_template name fixup to order them sequentially (or a logic_case with prenamed entities), & then send a tracktrain along the path? that way you could play the recorded position backwards & forwards smoothly, plus alter playback speed as you would with cached data.
