  • I show you how far I've gotten Dog's Ball through Half-Life 2's campaign.
    I love the lil fella, much better than that stinky gnome.
    Ball (compared to gnome)
    = Pros =
    -Follows you
    -Attaches to Car
    -Distracts enemies
    -Deadly dodgeball
    -kills headcrabs on own
    -Is an animated NPC with personality
    -Bullet shield (especially with snipers)
    -Shoot hoops with them
    = Cons =
    -Follows closest "enemy"
    -Attacked by friendly NPCs
    -Dies from water, fire, and explosives
    -Collides with NPCclip brush (biggest one)

    This is false, you can take him much further, as you aim at him and do npc_select and then you aim somewhere else and do npc_teleport (i think you can do it without cheats enabled) you can bring him to end of the half life, he will begin glitch out at last chapters of citadel but yeah, i got him to the end

      But you can't bring the ball through the teleporter, and to bring him in (create him) use ent_create npc_rollermine spawnflags "65536" .

      But if I understand, you bring it to the end but with cheats, so it doesn't count and this is video is not false. I don't understand how you can do this without cheat if you talk about npc_select/ npc_teleport ?

    Yep, did that. Also had a car and a boat way over where it was not supposed to be. But do not remember where. You can get yourself a car before lighthouse fight by throwing a grenade behind the car right before the sliding garage door will close. It will bounce into a closing door and the door will slide back. Then jump your car over a cliff on the way to ant lions and Laslo.

    It strikes me that the beeps in Dog's Ball genuinely seem to be aware of what is happening and the fact that it can cling to the car, facilitating its transportation without needing to abuse some type of glitch makes it seem like something intentional in the game.
    Not to mention that it helps a lot in the fight against zombies and headcrabs.
