Seriously, I got Source SDK, and I don't know if it will work, but this would be fun. Ideas?

Hmm...
The only thing I could think of is that there would be lots of powers (weapons) and the ability to fly (not like noclip).
That would be a lot of coding...unless you went for more of a storyline like thing...
And I too am a mapper. I'm currently starting on a map for Natural Selection 2 called ec_eva that will be based of my escort idea.
Why is this in senseless banter? SomeGuy...do you not give much credence or respect to your idea? Or perhaps you were kidding yourself. Whatever the case...if you were serious, this shouldn't be in senseless. If you created this thread just to get a chuckle...it's fine where it remains.
Lol, i put this here for the audience.
PS: I aspire to be a mapper, it's just a matter if I can get HL2 to run on this thing...
You'd need more than the SDK, you would need to have an extended knowledge of C++ to be able to make a mod. You would also need good, well thought out maps.
And if it were to be anything like a true lucid dream, you would have to have destructible environments, and Source just doesn't support that, unfortunately.
I'm sorry to shit all over your idea, it's a great idea, but the Source engine is a little too outdated to do anything big like that.
It's not that it's outdated...it's just that if you took destructible environments + Source's Physics = Epic LagQuote:

For example, in Episode Two during final boss fight with all the striders, if they were to blow up a house, it was basically a cut scene. They pre-recorded the animation of the house exploding, and then put it in via scripts. So when a strider blew up a house, it was basically a scripted sequence.

I also need to go back and get that achievement...
But I kind of stopped playing after I took the gnome into space. That was hard work!
I would but i don't have a good enough computer:(:(:(
