Long distance grabbing (Half-Life 2 Facts

[@1x1boop28]

Barney doesn't care about Gordon's death because he too was a protagonist before half life two and he knows how the save system works.

[@UseroneGaming]

Instead, he casually waits for the universe to cease existing the moment the player reloads last save.

[@grande1900]

I think the reason fact 102 happens is because they just wanted alyx to establish contact in a reasonable timeframe

3:50 Out of all the crazy glitches and insane stunts that are possible, THIS is what actually made my jaw drop. The airboat has its own headlight.

[@mkontent]

I knew that the light does work while in the airboat, I just never thought of it in terms of the light being ON the airboat

[@avtaga]

Light used to be twice as big, unfortunately Valve source update made it a lot smaller

[@SimonClarkstone]

I thought that was just the suit light?

[@mkontent]

@@SimonClarkstone The battery is not being drained while driving the airboat with flashlight on, I believe. Hence the assumption that it is on the boat itself. Also the light moves independently of the camera

[@romanm.3529]

"Do NOT go into the light!" The most insightful line in game history. Srsly, do not

[@camo6465]

7:59 “Barney does not care” Well, some best friend he turned out to be!

[@PebsBeans]

Barney is a true friend because he knows Gordon doesn't die in canon and he refuses to leave canon

[@varahunter68]

thanks for the timestamp

[@Gulliblepikmin]

Here are two facts I have: 1. On the map "d2_coast_05" there is a truck with an explosive barrel under it. When exploded, the truck catches on fire with the release build fire effects rather than the updated fire effects. 2. If you go into the map "d1_canals_12", park your airboat on the downwards ramp right after the level transition, backtrack to d1_canals_11, and then go back to d1_canals 12, your airboat will disappear. (this bug works with any object, not just the airboat)

[@MarkRosOfft]

about the first fact: They used a sprite, not an actual fire, because fire cannot be attached to anything, but sprite can

[@Gulliblepikmin]

@@MarkRosOfft You can tell the fire's an image because when something stops being on fire, the sprites shrink into nothingness.

[@casey6556]

My only guess on the rotating pipe would be that there’s something very slightly eerie about having something moving imperceptibly slowly and causing you to gaslight yourself as to whether it’s always been in a particular place, especially on something like a loading screen.

[@ENCHANTMEN_]

Maybe it's supposed to be flexing and making it rotate slowly was an easy way to give that effect? Who knows

The Jeep also has headlights coded in, but the lines that link it to impulse 100(the flashlight button) are commented out in the release build. Accompanying it is the comment: "No headlights on Superfly." Which means... something, I guess.

The headlight thing is interesting, I thought everybody knew about the airboat's headlight. With the buggy's headlight, I like to think that those are just retroreflective markers but the Charger's headlights are less excusable since the hazards work.

[@Myne1001]

I never knew about it nor have I seen it used in any videos

[@caav56]

IIRC, in the older versions of Source, both buggy and muscle car had working headlights.

[@lunaticzeroone]

I always assumed it was just Gordon's flashlight

[@Freezorgium]

I suppose Valve thought having the flashlight projection texture for the headlights either wasn't convincing enough or decided it was best the player didn't need them

I thought this "Long Distance Grabbing" would be about 'ent_fire !picker use', which somehow is NOT a cheat and you can interact with stuff from far, far away with it, especially if you bind it to a button. Dont replace the E key tho, new bind does not let you drop things or grt into vehicles, but it lets you funnily freeze things in place if you pick something up and then press the bind again.

[@AnachronisticALLOS2401]

I found out about that freezing thing on accident, trying to transport more ammo than I can carry across many maps

[@Logan-tk6eh]

Yeah, found that one too! That and setting tab to cl_showhud with the BindToggle command are my two favorite binds.

1:29 also, if you shoot multiple bolts at a ragdoll before its physics go to sleep you can achieve the same effect on regular walls, best place to see this is in Episode 1, the hallway that has turrets on the end of it and a zombie in the corner. Impale him on one wall then change directions and shoot the ragdoll again to attempt to impale it to the other wall and you'll get crazy effects.

[@FitzgeraldKrox]

The pipe is a free hanging soft plastic tube, it would be realistic for it to move in the wind. If you're doing 3d menu backgrounds, the whole point of them is to have things moving in them in an interesting way, esp if it adds to the atmosphere like wind effects. Since the pipe is just a rigid mesh, the fastest way to try to fake the gentle movement in the wind would be to set a rotation. This could(!) work if you don't see the entire pipe mesh and because it's curvy in shape it could appear to be swaying. The mapper probably experimented with the idea and made it rotate and tried different speeds, but it probably looked shitty so he abandoned & forgot about it.
