Half-Life 2: Lost Coast Fisherman Attacking with Harpoon

Рет қаралды 10,958

Күн бұрын

I modded the harpoon to be a usable weapon for Half-Life 2 Chaos. One of my goals for the mod is to make the unconventional weapons fully functional for both certain NPCs and the player.
The animations are all done by me. I'm new to animating so they're maybe not the best. The attack animation doesn't feel convincing to me.
The state where he holds the harpoon with two hands is done with the readiness level system used by CNPC_PlayerCompanion.
Even if he's an old man, it's still a harpoon, so it does 100 damage.

More like a rag doll. Few npcs who die just go to their default reference pose(t or a pose) fisherman, advisor, and any npc not meant to ever die usually don’t have rag dolls. A rag doll would negate the need for a death animation.

Thousands across both city 17 and the rebellion would fear the acclaimed warrior of the coast. His mere mention struck fear in the hearts of soldiers from the lowly civil protection officer to the experienced rebel leader. The ones he declared his enemies end up either fleeing in fear or among a field of fallen, harpooned. His name? Gordon fishman.

Typically people who use harpoons hold it near the back so I think that'd be a good start for making the attack animation more convincing

Bruh this is a character in a side game that takes ten minutes to play if you’re slow. He’s never in a combat situation ingame. Be lucky he even attacks and doesn’t just tank the hits.

i am by no means an anim expert, but i would say if u wanted to improve the anim i would add some movement to his upper body. potentially also make him have a stance with his legs. or yknow, u can keep it like this. he is a feeble old man after all LOL im hella excited for the chaos mod

You should keep the animation. The jank and absurdity of it is so perfect

@Iskaldr 18 күн бұрын

I think the holding animation and transition is good. For the attack animation, it definitely needs some rotation of the upper body (this would also help with the current odd arm pose at full extension). The buildup seems to be a good length, maybe it could be a slight bit longer but the thrust itself needs some more velocity. Then you could apply a good punt to the body to show off the fisherman's unmatched power :)

try to see a person stabbing with a harpoon, you ease your whole body into it, not just the hands. you back up a little, then start leaning your torso forward and in the middle of that movement you start extending your arms you at the peak of both movements you get top kinetic energy of the harpoon.

When I was a kid on my first playthroughs of Lost Coast, not understanding any of it, I apparently had a dream that the Fisherman would escort you the rest of the way up the hill, whistling sea shanties and complaining about his knees. He'd lead me to a chasm where you crossed through the hull of a dead ship on a cart-like gadget like Grigori's but you had to help him pull levers by shooting them while also watching his back against the headcrabs. I think it all had to do with digging through the sound files and the commentary, I miss that childhood imagination I dreampt the up the whole rest of the chapter. I remember him smacking enemies and such with his harpoon like this,

@monsterhunter4398 8 күн бұрын

honestly for a first time animator I think this looks alright! a good piece of advice I have though is that to make it look more convincing, have him use his waist more. have him turn his upper body more towards his right as he pulls the spear back, and then turn back left as he thrusts the spear forward. that way he looks like he's putting his whole weight behind it. other than that this still is awesome!

@bubbleman2002 17 күн бұрын

The animation is well integrated into the game, there's no delay or weirdness about the moment he stabs vs when the combine soldier falls, but the animation itself definitely has lots of room to improve. I think if he put one foot in front of the other, and spread his legs some, just the stance change alone would make the stabbing motion look significantly more natural. If you're feeling ambitious, you could try making an animation where he takes a stance, and then steps into the thrust. I would also add a little more elbow movement when he draws the harpoon back to attack, and as well as when he thrusts it forward, as his arms look a little too stiff. It might also help to have a "recovery" animation, as the way he resumes his default standing position looks very abrupt at the moment. A useful reference for animating character's melee attacks would be footage of people practicing historical european martial arts, obviously the weapons may be very different, but the footwork is very good as a reference for making a character use their whole body with physical attacks, instead of just using their arms alone.

If you want the attack animation to have more weight, maybe take inspiration from dark souls 3 where the weapon actually has a "wind up" and "wind down" time. Also maybe take into account the fact that he's stabbing it hard and there for he's reaching out further?

the animation needs more power, his arms should move in kind of an arc, pulling back the harpoon and then stabbing with more momentum

His harpoon deals 50 damage minimum. Due to Combine soldiers have 50 hp in hl2 and it died with a single blow. With basic calculation, His harpoon will k*ll Gordon freeman without suit power in two swoosh at worst case scenario.
