Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life / March 2007Half-Life 2 Surfing on Objects?
I did a google for a fastest run through of Half-Life 2. One that I found on YouTube was the guy seemed to be surfing on objects. I am assuming this is exploiting a glitch, but how do you do it? Or was it fixed in a later patch? Here's the video (1 hour 42 minutes long, but it shows the "surfing" near the beginning) http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7597745302270855580 Thanks. >I did a google for a fastest run through of Half-Life 2.

Looks like fly mode to me.  SignatureAndrew, contact via http://interpleb.googlepages.com Help make Usenet a better place: English is read downwards, please don't top post.

No, he jumps out into space above a street with a paint-can or something beneath him - wierd... >>>I did a google for a fastest run through of Half-Life 2.

For those wondering exactly what bit he's on about, it's at 4:30 into the video. No idea what's going on there, but I might give it a go and see what's what... > For those wondering exactly what bit he's on about, it's at 4:30 into > the video.

I tried at the time and could never get it to work, but it's something like you stand on an object, try to pick it up, and then keep jumping. That's all I can remember though.

That's all I can remember though. Yeah, that looks exactly like how he gets it started. Although it drops away, I think, and he carries on - after which there's a bit where the map gets a bit screwed looking and then sorts itself. >>> For those wondering exactly what bit he's on about, it's at 4:30 into >>> the video.

My only thought is that he has a macro programmed to cycle two or three commands repeatedly, allowing him to fly like that. Perhaps pickup, jump, drop, jump, pickup, jump, drop, jump ... etc etc etc or whatever it takes to do that because you see the object shaking. Plus bumping the object on top of an NPC's head jumps them to their next action point. >>>> For those wondering exactly what bit he's on about, it's at 4:30 into >>>> the video.

It's described in better detail at speeddemosarchive.com, which lists each glitch used within the game. I haven't done it myself, but I think it involves rapidly jumping on an item that you rapidly pickup/drop. Basically, it's an incomplete physics implementation - for every action, there should be an equal and opposite reaction. However, fixing this would probably break the game. > Basically, it's an incomplete physics implementation - for every > action, there should be an equal and opposite reaction.

This reminds me off a rather crazy experience I had during HL2 modding a couple of years ago I have uploaded the darn thing to youtube May I represent: The Dancing Vendingmachine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qv36T0V8PdQ - Peter SignatureHi!
