Does anybody (maybe from experience) know if the Nihilanth has been successfully set up in a map before? I know it would be a mammoth of a task to set it up correctly but I am interested in trying. If anyone has any info on this please let me know! - HeAdCrAb KILLA

(The Nihilanth is that big ass thing at the end of HALF-LIFE that looks kinda like a baby with man-boobs

I think it teleports you to every info_teleport_destenation in the level! So put some and I think it will work! I'm not sure so try also,after you tested the last thoery,to name all the info_teleport_destenations!

i put nihilanth in one of my maps that i never put on this site once. Its not easy seeing as he will go right through blocks to follow you (because, as you know, he follows you going up or down) make a huge area for him, huge, then put clip brushes that are inside your walls. And turn them into func_monsterclip, that stops him from leaving the room. Im not quite sure as to how to get him to attack though

hmm.. i think we need to decompile that map

yeh...i would like to know how they did it too. Although i am seeing a rough idea hows its done, but i still havent figured out how its done yet.
Decompiling should help solve this one

Alright I'll decompile the map and post some answers if I find any. - HeAdCrAb KILLA

There is a example map of the Nihilith in the map vault...

why do you write HeAdCrAb KILLA in the end of your post... you think we can't read what's written above your avatar?

Im not quite sure as to how to get him to attack though

You need a really big open area for him to attack. Big enough for him to spread out his arms.

And info_teleport_destentions!

Well I got him to attack but I don't know if it's just the FGD I'm working with (SVEN Co-op). I didn't see him use the teleport thingy on me so I'm not sure if I need the info_teleport_destinations. Other than that I don't really need him to do much more. I only want him to die by the little crystal in his head and have him trigger (on Death) a massive explosion. - HeAdCrAb KILLA

Could someone give me a link to the Nihilanth Example map in the Vault. I can't seem to find it. Good luck with understanding that map once you've decompiled...there's a sh**load of stuff in there! - HeAdCrAb KILLA
