I'm wondering if it's possible to have a brush produce gravity or something to that effect. Like if you made a sphere, and you wanted to be able to walk on it without falling off, would it be possible to do that? So that when you walk towards the bottom of the sphere, you will remain on it but upside down.

Nope. Not to my knowledge, anyway. The "gravity" in Half-Life will always pull you downwards.

nope, Half-life is not prey, and prey is the only game I have ever seen to do anything like your describing, infact it does the exact same thing.

Hmm. That would be cool. A func_ladder sphere would be interesting...but unstable. Won't be able to walk upside down. :

I forgot where I got the idea from, but I thought about it before I even heard of Prey. Just thought it would be cool to be able to walk around a cube, sphere, whatever without having to worry about falling off.
Thanks for the replies.

Indeed, it is a good idea. As with most things, it could probably be a done with the right code.

Some Serious Sam levels did the same actually. And yes, it's a code thing - not really a simple thing though, I assume.

it would probalby using the XYZ view axis to do the trick, because the gravity is based on those coordinates i believe.

Do you mean the word 'vectors', pepper?

Maybe you can use a trigger_push that will push you upward. This way you wont fall. It will be like a floor but instead of walking on it you'll float in a bizzar way. No need for a really strong strength of push, but make sure it's strong enough to lift you.

You could use teleporters to make the player get an angled view and movement, together with trigger_push this would make it look as if the player was walking on the sphere.

That would be some damn complicated entity work there.

No need for a really strong strength of push, but make sure it's strong enough to lift youTrigger_push is teh solution,, if it can push the player in HL1.
I was planning to do an example on it if I managed to do it myself, but that would be for HL2

If anyone's willing to make an example map or if they can point me to one, please do so.

I'll do it. Since it's my idea. I'll also add nice round doors to the example. It wont take long, I already made the prefab!

AWP did this... You know, when you are the alien...
I don't think it's possible to be upside down i HL1, The feet of the player is always facing the ground. Always standing straight.

The idea was to make player walk upside down or on th walls even, not to float..
