Portal 2: Community Edition.
Bug:
npc_hover_turret is a model entity available in 
Portal 2. It is a turret variant cut from Portal 2 which would have hung from the ceiling and fired a laser at the player. It remains in the final game, but is somewhat buggy.
It is hardcoded to use the model models/npcs/hover_turret.mdl, which is missing in the final game. According to early screenshots, it originally used a model based on prop_glados_core from the first game. Attempts have been made to restore this model, but currently have issues, such as the turret not being able to aim vertically.
Note:As of recent updates, this entity is no longer present in Portal 2: Community Edition.Bug:
- The turret's laser turns invisible while it is firing, due to the material it uses (
sprites/bluelaser1.vmt) not being precached.
Workaround:Place an env_beam anywhere in the map with the beam texture set to this, which will force it to precache. Keep in mind there are two textures with this name, make sure you pick the one in sprites/.
- The hover turret will attempt to fire at the player through portals, but is unable to actually do so.
- The hover turret's tether snaps easily, and may do so randomly at the start of the map.
- Workaround:Increasing the cvar
hover_turret_break_distmakes this less likely to happen, but also makes it harder for the player to deliberately pull the turret off the tether.
- Crashes the game when picked up in Co-op.
