Flood spore weapon?

I was playing through HL1, and there's a part where you can pick up some sort of bug as a weapon; when you throw it, it starts devouring everything in sight until it's killed...

So...Is there any way something like that can be created, but using an infection form instead? The FP anims could be quite fun, with the infection form squirming, perhaps the MC poking it during the idle anim, and so on.

Even if it's just for SP, is it possible to make a weapon spawn an AI? If not, then I guess it could work as an oddball... <_<

The spores wont sync on Multiplayer, but its basically just chainspawning.

cant you just use the flood spoor model and use it as a homing projectile that sticks?

Sounds like a cool idea. It might not be such a good idea for MP though.
On HL2, I like squishing the thing, it was funny :)

The snark? god those things were fun. sounds like it would be fun in HCE.

Yeah, but that would look like crap.

not if u tagged it right...:S, have some imagination

Wouldn't they come and attack you, just like the little bugs in HL1 did?
Also needed, 343 Guilty Spark as the ball in oddball, and when you melee with him he says random things like "please stop being human"

Been done, in a PC SP -> MP conversion, ages ago. He didn't talk though.

actually i think he means the pherapod bait. its basically an organ that u get from killing an aunt guard that allows u to control antlions. and yes, it is from hl2.
