Which component should be improved?

Gameplay

Describe your suggestion

In Portal 2 slime not allow for player to jump and slows down speed of player. In Half Life 2/Portal it's work like water. Thanks it in Portal you can safe you're life if was dropped in pool, but it's impossible in P2CE. Also it's hinders gameplay in Half Life 2 and episodes, because maps wasn't ever include Portal 2 mechanic version. This is why we should have cvar that can enable old slime behavior, for example sv_old_slime_behavior 1 or 0 (0 by default).

Yes. I think we should call it sv_p2_slime_behavior instead, (default to 1) (0 = hl2/p1 behavior)

vrad-exe commented 1 year ago

What actually differentiates "slime" and "water" in the engine, is it the surfaceprop? If so this might be a result of changes to portal 2's surfaceprops file, not a code change

Hikkikira commented 1 year ago

hl2 water and p2 goo just behave like water. i'm pretty sure puzzlemaker goo does too, it just additionally pushes you around. it's only the hl2/p1 goo that drowns you (when it didn't in hl2/p1)

vrad-exe commented 1 year ago

Okay, I understand that, but what specifically about the hl2/p1 goo makes those be considered "slime" while the others are considered "water"?

$compileslime parameter.

vrad-exe commented 1 year ago

Why is that a thing...does slime behave any differently than water in HL2?

TeamSpen210 commented 1 year ago

It gives it CONTENTS_SLIME instead of CONTENTS_WATER. Primarily it makes it use green splash effects instead of the regular water ones. The $surfaceprop I think would change the behaviour? Not sure.
