[SFM] Portal/2: Turrets - Are they possible?

Yep. Another one of these.

“Theyre definitely possible”

Imagine walking into someone’s house and just hearing “T A R G E T A Q U I R E D”

can we acknowledge the fact that, despite cave's video showing that the bullets are launched with springs, the in-game turrets still have muzzle flashes? what's with that?

[NixodCreations]

Something I don't think I've seen anyone address about the turrets:
The reason they sit on such unstable blade-like legs is because I think they're supposed to be pushed down into the soil when used properly. Which would not only make them extremely stable, but much lower profile too.

Then again, they're actually just a reskin of the combine turret from HL2 which had a tiny base specifically so the player *could* knock them over easily, and the combine often put them down on hard ground so maybe not.

I would love for a burglar to break into my home in the dark then just see a red dot and hear "Hello? Is anyone there?" Then a few seconds later "Who ARE you?" Then just turret blasting, my god that would be amazing.

[robob]

they have one flaw : you need to take off the entire casing to refill ammo, instead of just the top part

“Yeah, I’d say they’re possible.”

[meme_steam]

what about the defective turret, thats just a naked one

i'm building a full scale 1.73m tall (with antennae) Portal 2 Turret :) I have sorted our all the issues of the wings closing and the gun boxes retracting into the wings etc. I will be sharing videos of my progress soon. It is all ready for 3D printing. Also, it is going to be more accurate than Weta Workshops. my internals are 95% like the game models. I turned texture details to actual geometry.

The assembly process is a perfect example about how much detail valve puts in their games, beautiful.

[sirankleknocker]

The way they nudged themselves at 0:17 was adorable!
btw someone made a turret that shoots nerf darts
Just try and remake it so it fires actual bullets

[catline]

I appreciate the turret's screams while it is disassembled.

[stahlwerk]

I think the "Firing the whole bullet" thing just means they use a caseless cartridge.

[GamerT]

The real life version does all the motion except bullets

[ezucra]

Turrets every time you hurt hem: ok just keep doing that

[X_Zangetsu_X]

So basically, if you want a turret to fire an entire bullet, youd have to have one hell of a powerful mechanism inside to shoot the entire bullet and without them sliding out of the barrel

[lukeand]

Y’all forgot that these don’t use artificial intelligence, they are sentient

[Terra-Antares]

In my own head cannon, these would be firing plasma bullets, since the projectile textures used are the same ones from the pulse rifle from half life 2.

I wouldn't put such a technology as far off considering aperture science.

[tingsteph]

Imagine going to a battlefield in 2070 and you just see 1000 turrets on each side

[AreThereGhostsOnMars]

These make me happy. I love portal, and seeing the bots and stuff broken down so I can see what makes them up and how it works is just so cool

[zuveresgames]

But here's a question, if they are possible, then how they will shoot? Something should transfer ammunitions.
