Half-Life: Alyx/Unused Models
This is a sub-page of Half-Life: Alyx.
 | To do: Still quite a few more models |
Interface
inventory_template
An early version of the inventory selector. What's interesting is that there are 6 weapons in this early selector, with a crowbar as one of the options. In a developer interview with Valve, they explained that the crowbar was in the game at one point but was removed because players kept assuming they were Gordon Freeman. In the final game, the crowbar is not part of Alyx's arsenal but is used at the end of the game. It is still fully functional and is used in numerous mods.
vr_teleport
A model of an action prompt, used during the Vive era HLVR testing. It has two additional materials to symbolize crouching and hopping over a window.
Interestingly, the stick figure character in the first image is a separate texture, instead of being part of the ladder. Given that the ladder has a function called "ladder_indicator_align_sprite" perhaps there would be some type of animation attached to it.

Items
alyx_watch and grabbity_glove_model
Early versions of the gravity gloves. They are much more simplified compared to the final ones. The Gravity Gloves model was reused as an Easter egg in Russell's lab in an inaccessible room next to where you pick up the Russells.
It's interesting to note that claws share the same design and animations as those used in the gravity gun.
backpack_inventory
A placeholder blockout of a Backpack, Presumably for an inventory system akin to Saints and Sinners.

vr_alyxhealth
An early version of the health syringe.
Miscellaneous
Citizen_Battery_Turret
A placeholder model for a seemingly unused turret. The model's appearance resembles "brush models" found in GoldSource games, such as the first Half-Life.
vr_hmd
It appears to be the head of the "info_player_start" entity, which is used in Hammer to define the player's spawn position and facing direction, depicted wearing a VR headset.
The Lab and Dota 2 Models
Multiple models from The Lab's Robot Repair minigame and Dota 2 are left over. This makes sense, as both games were made using the Source 2 engine, just like Half-Life: Alyx.
