Gmod Airship (no hoverballs)

[TheShiphoo]

@H3lld0g10 its epic anyway

[TheShiphoo]

thumbs up nice epic music

[billykey123]

can u make one i can walk about on

[Aaron16ExtraAmmo]

@H3lld0g10 You will have to explain to me how a ship that flies should be called anything but an airship.

[ObjectableApparatus]

put mgs on it and it will be badass dude

[RibertGibert]

i cant figure out how to keep my ships fly straight without hover balls or even get them to stay in the air can anyone help

[joshjet182]

Why do some people hate wire? It's one of the best addons (in my opinion of course)

[galloway62042009]

@joshjet182 because they cant do it XD

[TheJorens]

@galloway62042009 I am quite bad at using wire, but i don`t hate it...

[galloway62042009]

@TheJorens I do :/

Especially E2

[TheJorens]

@galloway62042009 See theres a problem, i don`t understand wire enough to hate it...

(i mean what is expression 2 even suposed to do)

[Aaron16ExtraAmmo]

@TheJorens Wire is good for doing things like variable thrust. If I used numpad thrusters for this instead of wire I would have to choose between "TAKE OFF!!" and "WE ARE LOOSING ALTITUDE!!".

[hbar45]

@galloway62042009 *shivers* Yeah, E2 is kinda weird (even to me, an intermediate wire user). You HAVE to be a programmer to take it in easy, otherwise you'll virtually be learning C++ or C or C# or Java or... You get what I mean XD

[caseyberg666]

well designed airship, way to go

[caseyberg666]

well designed airship, way to go

[galloway6204]

HOW DOES EVERYONE MAKE THESE GREAT THINGS THAT LOOKS SO EASY TO FLY >:(

[powersurge91]

Now just ditch the wire and you will have a true Thruster powered craft. ;)

[Aaron16ExtraAmmo]

@powersurge91 The only use of the wire is to adjust the amount of force on the main thrusters since I wanted more than just on and off. Also, I hate the numpad and the fact that I can't have more than one vehicle at a time when I use it.

[powersurge91]

@Aaron16ExtraAmmo Mainly I stray away from wire thrusters on only air vehicles, so that I can switch over to numpad and eject when a target finder is tracking my character. I use an aray of numpad outputs on a pod controller to be able to use wasd. I get what you are saying about multi vehicles though. I did however use wire thrusters for a Clyclic controller on a cargo helicopter :P

[RussianBoy347]

This is good Airship. But Windows movie maker use only noobs. You need more powerful program.

[Aaron16ExtraAmmo]

@RussianBoy347

Well yeah, but this was made two years ago.

[69Starmix96]

whats wrong with hoverballs? garry newman made them to make things like this easier...

[powersurge91]

@69Starmix96 He made them for noobs that don't know how to use "THE EVER SO COMPLICATED" thrusters...

[superotherguy1]

15 health, now how did that happen XD

[comanche119]

#OMG no hover balls!

[MrTimb58]

eather fin thrusters e2 or rotor tool

[Aaron16ExtraAmmo]

@MrTimb58 again, all of the thrusters go to ONE accumulator that I control manually. The fact that it balances is a freak of source. Something about angled thrusters that are free to rotate makes for self balancing.

[crazymexicaninc]

@Aaron16ExtraAmmo you are tooo legit

teach me haha

of coarse once gmod comes out for meh mac

[crazymexicaninc]

@Aaron16ExtraAmmo i can give u my steam accound

[aviator1223]

thrusters? e2?

[Aaron16ExtraAmmo]

E2 didn't exist at the time I made this. All the thrusters for upward thrust have the SAME value being sent to them. The only thing performing balance is the rotation of the blades.

[1the2man3beast4]

This is very nice. I want Gmod so badly but I cant find it anywhere!

[58Darklife]

you gotta buy it

[aviator1223]

You got to download steam and buy it and a source game like half life 2 or counter strike source or team fortress 2

[tk5800]

@1the2man3beast4 steam?

[ninjablooper]

Use Steam to buy it.

[MRroddan96]

buy it at steam, its cheap

[sozamaria]

awsome......

[RuneRiders]

Omfg niiice

[Asurnasurpal]

Fantastic! It's rare to see something that not only works but looks good. I can easily see that in a machinima. VTOL weapons platform FTW!

[JustAnotherGaian]

Why limit it to machinima? Imagine an air piracy gametype.

[SpadXIIIFlyer]

do you mind if i borrow your idea?

[Aaron16ExtraAmmo]

Go ahead. I haven't been playing much recently anyway.

[SpadXIIIFlyer]

Thank you.

[Aaron16ExtraAmmo]

Post a video would you? I would like to see it.

[SpadXIIIFlyer]

Sry, have no way to record it. Otherwise, i would have tons of Gmod stuff.

[chukedy]

what movie is the song from

[Aaron16ExtraAmmo]

You know what? I'm going to see if I can make this again.

[BulletsForBrains]

nice job

[Jamestownproduction1]

i like it its sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooo allsome!!!! yea!! sry for the spam

[Classicloverx]

1 word.

Win.

[snowisthebestweather]

1:22 how is it possible that thrusters give out NEGATIVE force? 8O

[Aaron16ExtraAmmo]

turn on bi-directional?

[dragefyr]

How did you make it so stable :O and how did you make it make it fly so smooth without it whobbing like shit?

[togeatherwefight]

OMG! nice airship, im gonna use that smae effect for my spaceships and well, just about anything that goes up and down, the music is great, id didnt know that source did that, im gonna try that

[onthetuber]

im guessing expression 1 or 2 gate and when u press w front less power back more same for s and for turning a= back right more etc. etc.

[Aaron16ExtraAmmo]

The only chip I am using is an accumulator. All thrusters for uplift have equal force. The tilting happened natrually.

[onthetuber]

odd and for some reason youtubes comment system is messed up for replys

[ludsoe]

thats is the uber coolest thing i ever seen on gmod well maybe not the funny titanic ones cool but uber cool man make something else

[SkunkishMonk]

Do you have a duplicate of this somewhere? I would love to have this for myself.

[KriegsterZ]

that is LEGIT!!! just use the spinning things to make it stable?

[zaperatus]

i have an idea for using an expression, an increment decrement gate, a gyroscope and thrusters, I don't know if it will work but the the expression is for the frame the gyro scope for altitude measuring increment decrement gate so that you can make it go up and down with inputs and make it hover when no inputs are being applied, and also the gyro scope to make it so that when you push a button it will make it go up in altitude and down in altitude (like the increment decrement) Thoughts anyone?

[Darthehlek245]

logic is good....but what will the inputs be? WASD or buttons?

[zaperatus]

It depends on which will actually work best.

[bloodjake12]

if u make it u should add it to gmod kuz ill download it

[Urpresident]

HTF would WASD work?

[Aaron16ExtraAmmo]

I simply used seperate thrusters for horizontal movement. thrusters on the back push the ship forwards.

[Darthehlek245]

.....DAMN MAN! EPIC...Im gonna try...how long did that ake you, and how did you get the wire mod to do that? im gonna try one with 3 rotors and see how that goes.

[drake31123]

lol i love that music its so random

[MGMan37]

Does this use physical properties to give it no gravity? Just wondering.

[Aaron16ExtraAmmo]

It doesn't actually. What I have is thrusters on the tilted fan blades. When they are on, the blades rotate creating an auto leveling effect along with upward force. I used the weight tool to balance the props from front to back.

[BIGCAL50CAL]

OH! thats TITs

[garyflockhart]

is it the fin mod? or is it thrusters on the underside of the blades?

[Aaron16ExtraAmmo]

Thrusters on the underside. The source engine applies a gyro effect to spinning props.

[garyflockhart]

i know >:D i built a heli hopper^^

[kennu7776]

great ship !!u should modify t a little and it would be awesome!

[gekkologo]

Nice!

And I must agree with Zig

[Cakeway]

no cid would drive it....

airships are from FF!

[garyflockhart]

air ships were first drawn in anime so ff ripped anime of :D, also im sure mario was around before ff

[SuaDuaBoy]

nice ^^

[ZigZaggityWW]

Dude, that has to be the absolute best airship I've seen on here... Most are crappy hoverball POSs. Bravo! And the music fit it well.

[bobbyjic]

lol chariots of fire theme!

[alpha6882]

lol "merkaba"

[Clonegamma62]

Sweet! I hope to get Gmod soon.

[jrompe]

omg thats just woah!!!.... AND THE MUSIC WOAH!!!

[BIGCAL50CAL]

AD GUNSZ!!!! lol

[Aaron16ExtraAmmo]

Watch the credits

[peacekid]

Amazing.
