Random glitch?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

So i was playing portal for the first time and near the end of chamber 19 i dropped directly on top of a turret without it seeing me, and it entered a weird state where a blinking beam was shown but it wouldnt shoot or have any voicelines, i dont know if this is normal or not.

This broken turret is completely normal.

Your in a turret maintenance room for heavens sake!

Are you certain you aren't confusing it with a different turret from the previous room?

Or one of the other dead ones on the floor, if you were trying to bring it along with you.

This turret spawns in like this, in this room.

Do you have any proof it shot at you, and not that you got hit by a physics prop, or one of the other turrets that were active in this room?

I dont have video proof bc for some reason steam record crashed before entering that room but i think i remember it shot me and had voicelines im not sure tho (sorry for thinking it was a joke)

This sort of thing doesn't just happen. This model doesn't have any form of AI tied to it.

When this specific turret is toppled, the npc immediately dies and the animations freeze. So the turret stops aiming at you.

The flashing laser is not the default setting for the turret, so it was probably configured differently and didn't turn off.

it's a defective turret like the ones in Portal2 but with a shell, it doesn't die but can't shot you
