prop_vehicle_sin

← List of SE1 entities

prop_vehicle_sin is a point entity available in SiN Episodes. Called the Poseidon Interceptor Vehicle, aftermarket additions make the V8 Poseidon the vehicle of choice for SecForces across the globe. With a top speed to rival most consumer level vehicles, the Poseidon puts a quick end to most pursuits, and the unique chassis and frame design allow for the easy installation of ablative armor. The armor segmentation system allows body segments to absorb the impact of high yield explosives, allowing the car to keep running even when under heavy fire.

It is a driveable sedan type of vehicle with two front doors, compartment door, openable hood, radio, gears, useable windows and sunroof etc. for the player to use. It is possible for scripted NPC's to drive the vehicle but for the player as well, except it is not used in any sequence in the final version of game and was probably planned for use in upcoming episodes. All of the outer components such as the doors are all fully detachable from the main vehicle once they individually have received enough damage, but the vehicle's body is not in contrast to the variable available for health which seems to have no effect no matter the amount of damage applied to it.

The player is able to interact with the vehicle by opening and closing the windows, drive, leaning and shooting out, toggle the radio, using the passenger compartment, change gears, toggle the front window wipers etc. It also has a built in monitor that can be attached to a camera placed somewhere in the world, activated and changed upon its usage for the scene currently playing out.
