When I fight Icthyosaurs it’s possible to swim up to them and keep hitting them in the face with the crowbar. They start their attack animation, but reset it when I hit them, and so if I keep hitting them they never manage to hurt me. Presumably this isn’t intentional?
I did a bit of messing with the configs but I don’t think that could have caused it. It’d be good if someone else could confirm this, though.
I just went to these forums to report this. Killed that first ichthyosaur by diving in after it when it jumped back down in the water. Didn’t even have the crossbow yet, just outright smacked him with my trusty crowbar in the face until he died. He never harmed me at all.
I play vanilla btw.
man, you guys are badasses
I also thought it was strange that you can sprint on the surface of the water xD
I just shot it with 9 glock bullets… man its weak
The “reset” happens on alien grunts with the crowbar in HL :s ource too
It’s an engine issue. Not theirs… exists in all Source Engine games, Half-Life 2 had a similar problem.
Founded in 2004, Leakfree.org became one of the first online communities dedicated to Valve’s Source engine development. It is more famously known for the formation of Black Mesa: Source under the 'Leakfree Modification Team' handle in September 2004.
