Give the brains some brawn! (Scientist trick)

To save myself, some typing, here’s my post from Facepunch:

Hope you guys have fun with this!

#2

Aha! Great find!

Now I can create my own personal army and have serious battles with the HECU.

#3

Wow, they just left that in? That’s pretty nifty.

#4

I will do this so much

#5

They better keep this in, it makes the game so much more fun when you “find” a bunch of heavily armed scientists…
it’s not Gordon is the only one who uses the Hazard Course…

makes the Questionable Ethics ambush much more fun

#6

Actually, I wouldn’t mind of scientists and guards started picking up weapons off the ground like I suggested elsewhere. If the AI for them to use those guns is still there, I’d love to see it. I get that they’re supposed to be meek and helpless, but hey - Gordon basically inspired open rebellion against the Combine, and he never opened his mouth. Surely he can inspire Dr. Kleiner to pick up a shotgun and protect himself :slight_smile:

Honestly, it might make some of the jock humour much more tolerable if the scientists aren’t such panzies.

#7

I’m so going to try this. It makes sense that this works when you think about it, since they’re essentially slightly modified HL2 citizens.

#8

Giving them the Hivehand leads to a terrible case of Alien Crotch.

#9

But wait!

Maybe we can reason with them! :retard: :bulb: :rolleyes:

#10

I wonder what happens if you give all them all weapons in Anomalous Materials, then Impulse 101 and start attacking them. :3

#11

He then proceeded to grab a crowbar and beat the aliens to death, yelling “Will you listen to reason NOW?!? How about NOW?!?”

#12

you could use npc_create_equipment weapon_(weapon name) this arms all npcs that can hold weapons with said weapon.

#13

what happens if you give them the gluon gun?(if ite possible)

theres no real worldmodel for it…

#14

There is, it’s just that like all of the non-standard weapons (except the crowbar!) it doesn’t quite connect to the character properly. It looks better than the hive hand - which for some reason seems to be a genitally-operated weapon for non-Gordonites - but the clipping’s more noticeable than with the gauss gun.

#15

I can imagine modders having a lot of fun with this. =D

#16

They better add this “feature” to the mod, cause in movies they all have a gun after a period and in real life I guess everyone want to protect themselves…

#17

can someone find the npc names…? i cant find them(im too lazy to close bms and go into hammer)

#18

npc_human_scientist

npc_human_security

#19

thanks

#20

Protip: if you type in the npc name rather than “!picker” it arms all of them. So putting “ent_fire npc_human_scientist giveweapon weapon_shotgun” into the console gives every scientist on the map a shotgun.

Hopefully this will be fixed with Deathmatch?
