Half-Life 2: Source - NPC_ROACHES Demo

[sourceplayer151]

... now, why can't black mesa program roach NPC's , rather than using particles? :/

[FingerFoodDustn]

some guy did it where they will try to escape so much they'll climb the walls and ceilings and stuff.

[Drewskad00d]

Did you code this using a traceline? What method are you using for this? :]

Looks great! :D

[connel1982]

no tracelines ... just a chaotic moving of the textures. roaches are really brainless.

[HOLYHAMSTERITSMEEEEE]

mmmmmmmmm crunchys XD

[GGigabiteM]

Too bad they didn't have them in regular HL2, I missed those buggers from when they had them in HL1

[russianpeanut]

you made them huh? thats pretty cool. i like how the alien blood looks like bug guts

[NaburusD]

This is the kind of little details and stuff hl2 needed besides birds >:

makes the world more aliiiive.

plus I like smooshing the roaches in the first halflife :D

[connel1982]

Bingo! That is exactly why I have created them - to make the world more alive. :)

Thanks.

[NaburusD]

Well they're pretty neaat, they look good o:

What mod are you using them for?

[connel1982]

Well, as you can see in the video - there is a label "nightfall", so firtsly, I did it for NightFall Mod. But, right now I'm not a member of the Nightfall team, so I can't say if they will include this feature in their upcoming release.

[NaburusD]

I don't see why they wouldn't, it's a great detail.

[bigfluff73]

i dont get why someone would want them they do nothing

[connel1982]

What do you mean? Why someone would want those roaches just randomly run over the floor and do nothing more ? Well, such creatures can be a nice addition to the scary gameplay of the mod.
