If it's interacting with the player, even something as simple as aiming for the player with props (Which is all D0G does when you get the Grav Gun. Are you saying he doesn't have AI then? It's just "random stuff"?) it is still AI.

It's not exactly "random stuff", more like scripting. To be able to say that the advisor had AI it would have to able to identify targets, navigate (in most cases) and attack (usually with an animation). Have you ever tried spawning a Dog in Garry's Mod, it doesnt spawn an npc Dog that runs around or even throws stuff, it just sits there looking at you. This proves that whatever made Dog throw stuff was either Hammer scripting or a VERY basic npc script.
Good mappers do it right, the best mappers do it right over 20 times without losing their sanity.

You might have speed cheats on or wall hacks just to see.
But I've got the same ones running so just try and fuck with me!

Sorry tornado, but the HL2 Wars Team will NOT add the Antlions as a playable faction. Maybe Yes, but perhaps in the near future, I hope... I do love rushing my Enemies...

Ha yeh, everyones a bit confused.

Originally we said there will not be playable antlions. But, after making this demo, we can't just throw all the work away can we?

So most likely this antlion gamemode will be another gamemode in hl2wars 1.0

Its been a long time since this update, and so i was wondering... how is the progress going ?
are you guys making big progress? and now in the holidays more time to work or will it stop in the holidays...

I'm on the forums for a long time and there hasn't been many updates, i don't mind, I'm used to it
but i was just wondering, maybe you could post like how far you are for the demo or even the full version.



PS: sorry for the bump, but i thought... it would be rather pointless to create a new topic for it when there's something like this.

I know. I just typed that because we know that work's picking up a little bit. Can't we have a bit of excitement or glee around here?
