this is the best antlion mod i have ever seen in my life

skill issue

5 year old behaviour

literal perfection, how haven't i found this before?

skill issue

They have a disjointed hitbox when downed, but take no damage from anything. Maybe you should actually test the mod you ported before you speak.

skill issue

you cannot shot the downed ones, I tried, you can't, the hitbox is eliminated but the game still thinks thinks that the antlion it's still there
I would recommend you to just eliminate the custom death animation and replace it normal ragdolls, or make them always explode upon dying because when they get gibbed the death is registered or fixing the problem. I f you don't believe us just try the mod for yourself.

when the scientists found the donut thief

The antlion hitboxes are broken for NPCs like the turrets and guards in Nova Prospekt. They will just shoot straight up, and it makes it too easy.

just shoot the downed ones
ez

Yeah, as much as i love this, it seems to softlock the game more often than not due to the locked up not quite dead but also invincible ones that didn't get gibbed. In HL2, it makes it so the Antlions in Nova Prospekt will stop spawning. In E1, so far it's soft-locked me at least once (after the Antlion fight, because Alyx thinks there's still live enemies), and i can't even imagine how many locks would happen in E2...

The dead scientist animations don't count as dead. So when you kill them without exploting them, they don't respawn back. I would rocommend just deleting the animations and just letting the scientist ragdoll in peace

can you PLEASE make a separate version with the bubby voices. I BEG OF YOU

Such a goofy mod bro. BUBBY?

THE BUBBY CLONES!!!!!!!!

Lmao

how did i not see this

After the events of Half-Life, all of the remaining scientists who refused to update to the Half-Life 2 style took it to the underground

MY GOD! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

If possible, I reccomend you add a timer to make them disappear on death. Without it, the game soft-locks in EP 2 in the tunnels segment, and attempts to re-enable the mod after the segment makes the game crash. otherwise, great mod!

this is really funny and it makes me feel like im playing hl1

did you make the animations?

in that same part that Igotabigone239 mentioned, I believe the AI gets confused and bugs out, because all they do is shoot upwards.

Can work a bit with episode 2 but when it comes down to fighting the horde while Alyx is being healed, you have to destroy each body, which takes a long time, for the part to spawn more. It doesn't count them as dead when they are laying on the ground

BLOODY BRILLIANT!!!!

this goes well with the mod which replaces bugbait with money

I love how this mod BUFFS the Antlions, Turrets for some reason don't register these guys.

can u create a half life source scientist version?

When i use gravity gun and shoot them with it they appear to be alive still due to the pain sounds they make

it dont work on ep2

replace hl1 scientists replaces antlion worker please

It seems they also have increased health?

When we'll get one with Antlion worker?

Very good.

Now, now... there is nothing to be worried about, we have made major
strides since then... major strides...

you mean its working, for real this time?

ty for bringing it to my attention!

i forgot to reply again but i did fix it

Actually this might be a problem with the new files I pushed, somehow? It was working fine for me before I pushed though. I'm looking into it

ive been troubleshooting and still cant get the scientists to reappear. I'll keep digging

probably a mod conflict on your end.

it has suddenly stopped working

what do you mean "back in working order"

this mod is fantastic! I hope its back in working order soon!

can't wait for this to be fixed so i can use it in my eventual modded hl2 playthrough

I think i know why the scientists stopped spawning. Because the scientist didn’t die “properly”

It needs to be a ragdoll in order to die properly. And since it kind of still alive, the scientists stopped spawning due to a limit.

also it does not work on ep2

finally, no more of that ear-piercing, annoying "SCREEEEWEEEWWEERRWWWEERRREREEE" the antlions make

Hello gordon!
