    nice video but there is a way to get the pistol even before you get the crowbar
    play the game as usual until you put the crystal in the machine.. thing
    pull the crystal out immediately after you put the crystal in and start the "cutscene"
    doing this will make a vortigaunt not despawn
    run straight for the door where the scientist is helping the security guard
    wait until the guard gets up (you may not know this but if you wait around the guard revives and lead him into the testing chamber
    if the guard dies you can grab his gun and boom you have the pistol and you only *indirectly* killed him

      Easier way: wait for the guard to be revived after the test lab experiment in the beginning, then push him to the falling computer (which is usually supposed to squish unaware gordon). Profit

    You could actually save all your ammo in the last big momma room by glitching her to stop her from entering the room then hit the ground where she would die with your crowbar to actually open the hole i recommend using the command +fire and touching some grass while the hole gets opened automatically

  • @Nieveria
    @Nieveria Год назад +22

    actually there is a way to skip the crowbar. you have to catch a vortigaunt during the resonance cascade by pulling the cart out of the antimass spectrometer, lead the barney in the next room over to the vort, and talk to him constantly so he's not able to fight back against the vort's jolts. after that, ignore the crowbar in front of the glass door and the few crowbars that show up later

    • @joseislanio8910

  • @Bozothcow
    @Bozothcow Год назад +7

    When a func_door is blocked from reaching its open/closed state, it damages the entity that is blocking it. In this particular section of surface area, the security guard dying ends the run, and he would get gibbed by the door a lot in testing, so they decided to make it impossible for the door to kill him. The problem is, a damage value of 0 isn't valid, so they set the damage to -1 so that the guard would never get killed by the door.
    This glitch can also be done on the 2nd door that the guard has to open for you.

    The Glock is my most used weapon and the .357 is a decent problem solver, if you have good aim.
    Also the Glock has a damage of 8 while the MP5 just has a damage of 5 in HL. In HL:S the MP5 also makes a damage of 8 but the glock still has very low spread, what makes it a very nice weapon for most enemy types, even on medium ranges.
    And the Magnum, just a Glock with ammo shortage but on steroids, it makes 40 damage and has zero spread, basically a sniper without scope.
    Also the Glock is the only ranged weapon besides the crossbow, that can shoot under water. Wich definately helps with Black Mesas Ichtyosaur infested waters.
    If i'm honest, i mostly switch to the Glock if Situations get tricky because it's fast to reload, has good accuracy and damage, good rpm and uses over abundand ammo.

    Bro! You can skip getting the crowbar by pulling the sample back out of the antimass spectrometer. A vortigaunt is spawned as a fancy effect but gets caught on the test sample before it can teleport back away. You can then lure a guard in front of rhe vortigaunt in a position where the vort can see him bit he cant shoot the vort. The vortigaunt will eventually kill the guard and you will have a pistol. Use the pistol to smash the glass door and bypass the crowbar alltogether

    2:10 Is it really necessary to murder this guard with a crowbar?
    Maybe in the spirit of the challenge of using “pistol only,” you could try and distract him so that the zombie kills him, seeing as you may need the ammo.
    That way you don’t have to use the crowbar to murder, so the spirit of the “pistol only” challenge is better preserved!
    PS. I disagree that picking up MP5s just for their ammo (because they use the same 9mm ammunition) disqualifies you from the “pistol only” challenge, as long as you don’t actually shoot the MP5s.

    You can actually skip power up without using tripmines with some precise jumps, but as the rules say you could use any glitch, which would imply you can use change level delay with "wait" commands which wouldn't even require you to use scripts, just a way to spam the wait command , change level delay is basically delaying the map change trigger, whilst you delay it you can move and because maps in the end of blast pit/begining of power up intersect you can just phase through the wall, nice run nonetheless
