Headcrabbed ? Created 15 years ago2009-10-04 09:45:29 UTC by 23-down

Hi!

Does anyone knows how to make the famous Head crab scene of Half-Life1?
You know the scene in the first levels c1a1f in which a scientist fights against a headcrab and then getting killed by another one jumping of behind on his head.

I tried to recreate it but without much success. My headcrab wont jump onto the scientists head.

Maybe someone can construct a example map for this website here.

Just a sec, lemme upload it.
EDIT: Can't get the positioning right for the map, so I'll just tell you:
1. Monster_scientist_dead
Body: Luther (To mirror the scene exactly, you can change it if you wish)
Pose: Sitting
Animation sequence: Dead_sitting'
2. Monster_headcrab
Name: Lamaar
Trigger target: headcrab1
Trigger Condition: Take Dammage (So it falls off and attacks you if it survives)
3. Scripted_Sequence
name: headcrab1
Target Monster: Lamaar
Idle animation: headidle

Mess around with the scripted sequence properties and the headcrab's position until you get it perfect; The crab will need to be near the dead scientist's origin point, if the scripted_sequence doesn't make it go to it's position. after a bit of messing around, you should get it.

I think he means when you see a scientist behind a window, pushing a filing cabinet on a headcrab, and getting crabbed from behind as he celebrates.

scientist fights against a headcrab and then getting killed by another one jumping of behind on his head.

Oops.
In that case, you'll need a filing cabinet monster_furniure, two headcrabs, and a scientist, I think the crabs and sci need the same origin while the sequence plays.

I think its just the positioning that would take some t&e.

Yeah, I just looked at the anims, they don't all have the same origin.:/
