Its a dynamic model, but there was supposed to be a blur overlay for it.I think this got scrapped in a rush when they almost hit the ACTUAL release date.
Looks like you’re right, they changed it to a cheat to it’s not that accessible.
I’ve once read on the Wiki (or the forums dont remember) that the headcrab latch became a cheat but that was 3 - 4 months before release.
Eitherway, which texture you used to do yours?I can’t make a transparant texture because I don’t know shit about VTFEdit.
I do hope the devs are reading this one because a scary headcrab moment would be a fine inclusion even if it only happened the once or twice… It would add a lot and sure there could be a good situation to use this mechanic
I can say with absolute certainty that this will not be added back into the mod. Maybe they’ll fix it so it works out of the box with cvars.
Ofcourse it wont, since its been scrapped like 1 year ago and became a cheat.
ok well here’s hoping… I think it just needs a copy paste of a headcrab but named to a npc_latchcrab added to the fgd to make this possible… Shame if the hardwork cannot be included even if only for a few momments and set it up so that it can happen…
Such a dangling carrot that
Well here it is

The texture I used as an overlay.
Edit: Try pure black texture for transparent overlay. I haven’t tested a black texture yet.
I think I’ll make a blur texture tommorow for this.
