I want to kill NPCs with a portal gun
Posted Aug 31, 2015
Ok, this sounds bad, let me explain:
I watched Watchmojo's top 10 list of unconventional weapons. They got to the spot where they had to include the portal- or gravity gun and they said
"While the portal gun can't kill anyone unless you're creative, the gravity gun...".
I've thought about this before and this sentence got me thinking again - It would be AWESOME(!!!) to play a more bloody action game in which your only weapon is the portal gun. You'd have to/be able to:
- Defend yourself from the bullets of enemies by shooting portals underneath them and letting them fall off high places.
- Place portals above them only to smash them with a heavy object
- Escape enemies by portaling to places where they can't go
- Launching stuff at them via momentum.
- Cutting their limbs while they stand in your portals and you shoot a portal elsewhere (come on, you know Valve edited that part of portal out just to make the game kids-friendly)
- Infiniflinging their limbs just for fun.
- Travelling large distances in some wide-open spaces by flinging yourself high up in the air, seeing a portalable surface to place a portal and continue hover-flinging forward (otherwise you'd have to walk).
- ...
The list goes on, but I'll stop there.
What do you think?
Could Source2 be able to build such game?...'cuz I know NPCs are broken for Portal 2.

You could probably do some similar stuff with portal 1, with a bit of hammer trickery for cubes falling and hurting npcs.

P1 is built in the HL2 engine, so if you import all your HL2 maps and models and such you can use a portal gun against HL2 enemies.
