Hello. I am not really that into speedrunning and just want to put something out here.

Streamer found a way to supercharge a prop in a HL2 stream and tried to replicate it in Black Mesa.

The guys over at HL2 said that "charging" a prop so it flings you across with whatever energy you charged it with seems to be new information. So again. Just putting it out here.

For anyone who is intrested how he does it in HL2 with a train here is the post over there. https://www.speedrun.com/hl2/forum

So a certain streamer messed around with a trolley (he wants to bring one specific through as much of the game as possible)

And he managed to stop the train on the bridge and could use the now stuck trolley as a catapult with enourmous reach... I guess the Physics engine stores the energy from the train in the trolley?

I dont know how usefull this could be or if it is even new. But maybe it could lead to a massive skip if one could manage to be catapulted into the right direction.

EDIT: The Trolley becomes supercharged after this... (Timestamp 03:20:00) Again... I dont know if this is even new but it seems awsome. After the traincharging the Trolley keeps the momentum stored even over loadscreens and can be used for catapulting. I Hope people start experimenting with this. Please tell me thit is new Tech :D

Its pretty much the 3:00:50 mark

PS: Stream number 3 is highly reccomended. Really shows problem solving skills and a speedrunners mindset when it comes to "this HAS to work somehow"
