To Kill a Tentacle Created 18 years ago2006-01-28 17:19:35 UTC by HeAdCrAb KILLA

How is the tentacle killed? I remember in the legendary "Blast Pit" chapter of Half-Life the tentacle was killed by a rocket engine. At least I think that's what it was. Anyway, was it a trigger_hurt that actually killed the tents or something else? I know no mortal arms could kill it. Then I remember that they just kinda dissapeared. Was this done merely with a "killtarget" reading?

killtarget, trigger hurt.
Both of them should work.
You can't kill it with any weapons, as you know.

Killtarget removes the entity from the map, it doesn't actually kill it. I gess it's an aiscripted_seaquance and when it's done it kills the tentiecl with it's killtarget value. In game they made the door target the black func_wall_toggle and makes it dissapear so you could continue.

The tentacle in blast pit can't be killed with trigger_hurt - it's invincible, you noobs. It's killed in HL by playing the Die animation and adding lots of sound, it's just an illusion.

Well aren't you just the sh**. - JK, I know how to do it now.
