Fan Service Sci-Fi Assassins Replacement

Goth assassins, there’s no need to say anything else.

REQUIRES Half Life: Source!

• Black Ops Assassins are replaced by Sci-Fi variations. There’s also a 2nd variation and an armored variation, added by update and spawnable through the Spawn Menu.
• Stylized Hitboxes, similar to old school games. Any limb hitbox apart from the head one receives pelvis damage and they’re wide enough to be forgiving. Scoring headshots is slightly more challenging but still more than fair.
• Stylized Ragdoll Physics, similar to Metal Gear Solid V.
• Updated with a custom LUA script which makes Assassins friendly with all Combine-Related NPCs.
• NPCs spawn with random appearance variations.
• A custom LUA script for death expressions, works by applying a set of values for certain face bones on NPC kill. Very realism indeed. It does not modify any flexes, only a few specific model bones.
• 4 random death sounds, played through a script since the original NPCs have 0 sound effects. Files taken from Return to Castle Wolfenstein (I guess they’re nazi assassins now).
• Lightweight and optimized. Models have a decent amount of vertices but nothing that a decent PC can’t handle.

• Recommended to be used with:

  Lower Gravity for Physics Objects

• Removed hand grenades due to Assassins blowing themselves more often than blowing the player.
• There were originally plans to implement additional unique attacks such as a choking QTE event ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) which ended up being cut for being too janky.

• I’m good at many things, but rigging for animations isn’t one of them. While valve.biped animations look decent enough during gameplay, paying close attention to them will reveal some issues. Especially with animations created in 1998.
• Assassins don’t really hold any weapons and they fire bullets from their hands if viewed up close. This is a limitation of how the NPC is scripted as Assassins in Half Life 1 had the weapon glued to their hands model.

• Coffee Man: Apart from creating the model itself (Thanks Epic Games), creating everything else in this addon 💪
