Bullet Penetration Mod

Adds a long-time requested feature - the ability to shoot through walls, finally teaching that bastard hiding behind a lesson!

Do you hate exposing yourself in a gunfight?
Have you always craved for more tactical complexity in combat?
Do you believe plasterboard is the best material ever invented?

Then this mod is just for you!



Features
  • Shoot through walls, doors, boxes, chairs, windows,... simply EVERYTHING!

  • Damage enemies or props (explosives!) from whole new angle!

  • Material-accurate decals and particle effects for bullet entry/exit points!

  • Force and damage of a bullet drops down with distance and walls penetrated!

  • Dedicated BULLET PENETRATION SHOOTING RANGE map for feature demonstration!

  • Heavily customisable!

  • Scalable Init Support - compatible with other mods and maps!

penetration_wpn_WEAPON_cvr_thickness
Maximum thickness of a single wall, which the bullet can penetrate, in units
penetration_wpn_WEAPON_cvr_totalthickness
Total thickness of all the walls the bullet can penetrate through
penetration_wpn_WEAPON_cvr_maxdistance

Example of correct format:

You can create custom configs by adding "bulletpenetration_config.cfg" to your "\Half-Life Alyx\game\hlvr\cfg\" directory.
Put the commands above into the .cfg file to have effect in game.

Honestly this should have just been a feature in the game X3

Ok CementStairs, thanks for the response : )

@ռƐGƐʋΛ̶tîʋƐ Not if the enemies can ALSO shoot through things.

Hey,

this addon modifies the in-game (VR) behaviour of weapons.

I've barely touched SFM (so correct me if I'm wrong), but I don't think you can enter a "full VR mode" from player's perspective to record sequences as if you played the game normally. I'm not sure if the same applies to NPCs (that you can't simulate their AI), though.

If SFM allows it, then it could be possible.

Can this be used in SFM?

Can enemies also shoot me through walls?

I added link to the table of default values to the FAQ discussion page.

Realism in video games can ruin the fun. For instance, if shooters were real, blood loss, pain, fear, etc., would make it so that you couldn't enjoy a quick pace. Alyx is fun and very detailed, but I don't really want to eat, sleep, defecate, urinate, etc., because it's more realistic.

I didn't even subscribe. But it's still a thumbs down. The game was easy enough without making it even easier. I have to play the game and every mod on Hard Difficulty or I get very bored. This would just make it worse!

Hey,
the default values are different for each weapon and some (like damage) are determined by the current damange output of the weapon.

If you write the desired command into console without any parameters (for instance just "penetration_wpn_smg_cvr_max") it will give you the value it's set to at that time.

I'll add some nice table of default values to the FAQ section in a few days, to make it a bit easier to navigate.
