EP2 Helicopter Bombs [Replacement]

In 1 collection by V92

Description
The Episode 2 Combine Helicopter bomb with a buoyant metal physical property instead of HL2's default wood.

Unlike the version of this someone did before, this one will float in the canals in HL2 without sinking like the default EP2 bomb model would. It's metal too, instead of the default wood HL2 uses. Shouldn't present any issues when used in EP1, EP2, or even Lost Coast.

Materials modified by myself & Shadow_RUN, but any user replacements that follow the default file path will overwrite them. Includes gibs.

The EP2 model has a different physical property (metal) which causes them to sink on the HL2 canals, as the HL2 version uses a buoyant physical property (wood).

isn’t this mod useless because gmod normally has episode 2 reskins and models

I use various console commands, but you can also use the context menu.

how do you make helicopters drop bombs?

It was partially because it was such an easy fix, and partially because I made this specific compile for Obsidian Conflict.

thank you for the quick responses and straight to the point answers, great modder.

It replaces the HL2 model with the higher quality EP2 model. The HL2 model is little more than a sphere with wood physical properties.

And yes, that is definitely an oversight on my part. I'll fix it and push a patch in a bit. Thank you for pointing it out.

Does all this do make them float in water like they obviously should?
Also I feel like the gibs shouldn't float

It will depend on the load order, but possibly. It uses the exact same materials and paths from Episode 2, but Source uses first-in, last-out priority for mods. You'll have to experiment.

If all else fails, use this as a Workshop mod, and load the texture you want to override it as a legacy add-on. Legacy add-ons override Workshop files.

is this compatible with reskins?
