From what I saw, he didn’t take any damage from the grenade He shot the scientist once to stop his scripted sequence, then moved to the other side so that he would run away toward the door, then he throws a grenade to kill the scientist AND blow his body up to be able to jump through the door faster (usually you shoot him in the head and he takes about 1-2 seconds to complete his dying sequence), and the scientist blocked the damage from the grenade. Usually you kill him under the door so that the body prevents the door from closing and locking after entering, so destroying the body should not be a good idea, but from what I saw, they go through the door closing trigger BEFORE the door is completely opened, thus making it stay opened. It is also possible that they will manage to get out before it closes, but I think it’s more likely that the door ain’t gonna close. That is what I understood in the segment, if the entire run is THAT awesome I guess you’ll need to slow the run a lot during the commentary 😛 ---

This is an actual segment from the run. Shooting the scientist to abort his scripted sequence. He will get in panic and flee away from you. Asap when he starts to run away, I block his path. He will calculate a new path, this time towards the door. Before he gets there I put a grenade between him and the door to blow up asap when the door stars to open. Since the scientist is between me and the grenade, he will block off the explosion from me so I wont take any damage. So the grenades only purpose is to clear the scientist. This all gotta have perfect timing along with good speed in. Because I gotta enter the door-trigger before the door is completely open. If it still moves the trigger wont do anything. If I would be too late, the door would close and im trapped inside. It’s a trigger\_once so its only usable, guess what, once. I looked for the optimal spot to shoot scientist in. If I would shoot sooner, his paths would end up wrong. I also used 20 fps to make him turn around faster after fleeing the first time. ---

O\_O That sounds so complicated but it makes sense now. How long I wonder did it take you to do something like this? Or did you just do it by random, luck? ---

That’s insane. I really hope you do a very detailed video commentary, perhaps even have it ready before you release the run so that one can watch it immediately afterwards. It would be really cool with some commentary like the one you did for your opposing force run. ---

I think I spent +3 hours on it. The length is only 5.47 seconds. Due to the ridiculous timing and precision required I did some scripting to ease it a bit. Since the NPC to open door trick won’t work if saving, it also had to be done in one segment. Cant make it much faster either, because that wouldn’t leave enough time for the grenade to explode. If using nade before shot, you’d have to make scientist 1.0s faster somehow. Since switching weapon takes 0.5s. A video commentary released together with the run would be gold indeed. There we could also show a ton of new but obsoleted tricks that didn’t make it into the run. It’s a lot of effort to make such a in depth commentary though. That’s why my Blue Shift commentary got stuck. I think spider-waffle would do it, but I doubt his knowledge about video edit. Oasiz talked about doing it as well. But it’s also hard to split the work due to the amount of data ect. Just look at the PDPer crew \>\_\_\_\> We’ll have a commentary one way or another. ---

But months passed by without any improvements. So finally spider-waffle agreed with a deadline on November 5th. > > This long break and lack of progress wasn’t for nothing though. Many improvements have been found during this period. Estimated time is down to sub-24.

First segment of Blast Pit is done. I found 25 additional free hp from a healing scientist in Blast Pit. 4 second saving trick on Gonarch by coolkid. Nihilanth will be cut in half with a new gauss fastfire trick. 38.1s » 17.4s or lower, 54% faster (the actual fight, not the whole map) ---

bump Blast Pit, c1a4f, Generator map is done. Another map almost cut in half. Had unexpected problems on this one. Once the buttons is pressed, it takes 12 seconds before the electricity is activated. This is also triggered globally to be usable to the fire later on another map. So it has to be activated before getting onto next map. With optimal demos i could change map after about 11.7s. So I simply had to delay myself .3s, which I fortunately could do at the health charger, getting additional 3 hp. Currently 8 hp above the plan right now. Time history: think-circle - 60 Dopefish - 45 RandomEngy - 51 Spider-Waffle - 39.12 New - 21.30 Times: [http://goo.gl/6nexm](http://goo.gl/6nexm) I’ll let you see what the mod looks like while running.
