Garry's Mod - Orbital Lasers

[ATOMICWATERSTUDIOS]

mak a TUT naow PLZZZZZZZZZZ IBEG OF YOU !!

[FergusonGames]

Ha ha! Pretty cool! That's a perfect defense solution: Orbital Lasers...

[boatshift]

thats awsome how u make that i wud so make a trap with that >=3

[TheCytosis]

How did you wire the lasers to have that orbit? And how did you wire the lasers to seek props like that?

[SpitFir3Tornado]

you should do a tutorial

[botyngo]

goood

[hilul]

name of this map is????

[CrasHthe2nd]

gm_spacewar

[hilul]

thx

[omgiminafire]

What props is the actual station made of?

[CrasHthe2nd]

It's a single prop, came in a big pack of Babylon 5 models.

[MegaSpazzattack]

is there a way to mark friendly target so it wont shoot at it?

[CrasHthe2nd]

The lasers use a target finder to locate the closest target, so you can set that to search for players, props, anything you want.

[raedenjay]

excellent make

[TheYagamiStudios]

epica,i subscribled

[CrasHthe2nd]

That actually sounds like aan awesome idea. Next time I get the game installed I might give that a go.

[justus954]

weld it to meteorite and then make station in meteorite and that is secret meteor weapon :D

[Myhihi]

nice

[Dr2g0nFly]

Nice satelite

[tagaEskinita]

just like the one from AKira

[Grolleloll]

Plz make a satelite tutorial

[CrasHthe2nd]

Search the Wiremod forums for my username or orbital lasers. It should be on there somewhere.

[utubeman0]

which map is this?

[CrasHthe2nd]

Think it's gm_spacewar, version 2.

[crimesO1]

wow that was freking awsom you must be relly good with wire just one qestion where do you get adons for garry's

[CrasHthe2nd]

Thanks. All the addons in that can be downloaded at garrysmod-dot-org.

[XChillX42]

Don't you use SVN?

[CrasHthe2nd]

Yeh, but that's a quick and easy place to get them. Couldn't be bothered listing the tens of SVN sites which are now needed.

[XChillX42]

Believe me, I used to do that, its a lot easier to use SVNs. Facepunch studios is the best place for SVN addresses.

[driftracerdude415]

a g00d comet killer XD and if u get GMOD i recommend u buy DOD:S are ur source game cuz its realyl fun altough u might say it aint

[Perapsam]

What is that pumping from the start? There seems to be an item atop the station moving with it, so it is safe to assume it is a pump... is it your resources pump?

[CrasHthe2nd]

It's an oil pump to supply petrol converters and fuel ships. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense in space, I know, but it does work.

[Therio1]

That is awesome. FIRE ZOMBIES AT IT! XD

[TheRogueSpartens]

That Sweet!

[YesterdaysProduction]

that was cool

[Kaphix]

Technically there's no sound in space, but that's not your fault ;D

Cool contraption.

[Unclevertitle]

(Shh...) Just pretend it's radio static. Very well defined radio static. :D

Yeah...

[Spike1015]

wow thats awsome! how do you make the lasers target incoming stuff automatically? and what weapon is that laser?

[CrasHthe2nd]

The laser is a downloadable STool, forgot exactly where I got it but it should be on the garrysmod downloads site. The lasers themselves have a target finder set to lock onto the explosive barrel model (which could be customised to whatever you want) and then it uses some complax maths to find the angle to rotate to.

[CBDZproductions]

dude where is the garrysmod downloads site?!?!? I need to know!

[CrasHthe2nd]

You need to install Steam (Youtube won't let me link, but you can Google it). But to use GMod you'll need a copy of either HL2, Counterstrike, or HL2:Deathmatch. There's a bundle with CS on there for $25.

[garrysmodcrazy]

sweet

[BHT195]

That is awsome!!!! Very starwars. 5 stars :P

[CrasHthe2nd]

Took a good couple of hours to build the space station. It's done in GMod 10.

[lokken10]

that is Gmod 9 or 10 ?

[GModPlaya]

That was beastly, how long took to build the station haha

[Csp499]

...shoop da whoop?

This is a good idea, I think a few stations of mine could use a point-defense laser system like this.

[markbart7]

that is awesume... but how does it fare against armored things??

[markbart7]

nice...

[rayman1213]

DUDE!!! awesome orbital defense stations. reminds me of a mix between star wars and halo.

[Assassin00Eragon]

THATS what i was just thinking

[rhaiwhyn]

Question... were did you get that station model.. and is it hollow (can you build in it?)

[CrasHthe2nd]

Eternal Silence models pack. But it's not hollow.

[pwnzer32]

Im getting gmod 2morrow that was awesome best gmod vid on youtube w00t!

[reviewmad]

nice choice of game!

[NarutoWins]

Indeed

[francesboy2]

can you make a video tutorial? cuz im actually working on this project at the moment. me and my friend have built the ion cannon itself, but it cant track stuff without destroying itself so im thinking of making yours.

[CrasHthe2nd]

ill try and do one for you but most of the complicated stuff is done on the expression gate. It's also been a while since I made so I'll have to remember what I did =P.

[francesboy2]

cheers. also im trying to work out how to make a swep. u know how?

[CrasHthe2nd]

Only from poking around with other people's SWEPs. If I took the time I could probably work it out but I can't see it being any use to me at the moment.

[sniffles66]

if the lasesers could fore a long enough range, i wonder if they could stop a small nuke from hurting the base? plz reply..

[CrasHthe2nd]

The lasers don't destroy props, but if you replaced them with GCombat weapons which could hit at a range of 20,000 then it would be possible.

[evildog152]

fucking amazing space base! where you got it?

[CrasHthe2nd]

Built it using components from the Eternal Silence model pack and then a lot of resource distribution bits.

[evildog152]

COOL! could you send me adv duplicator file with what should i need to have readme via e-mail? ill send it to you as a message. :)

[CrasHthe2nd]

Sent you a link to it.

[noobwithagun]

its just so monotomous, sux, sorry, next time you need more asplosions

[DeltaRC1262]

-5 points if could.

It just sucks. :S

[panther4555]

NICE 5stars freakig awsome!

[rainkimahri]

Could you step through the components and settings you used on the orbiting lasers so I may recreate this?

[CrasHthe2nd]

I did a couple of tutorials for the wiremod forums, but it seems YouTube won't let me post their address in the comment. If you Google it and head to the tutorials section, 2nd page, there are two threads by me. Hope these help.

[Gmaster95]

Where did you get that space map?

[CrasHthe2nd]

It's called gm_spacewar, but unfortunately I can never remember where I found it. If you look on Google or the Facepunch forums you might be able to find the download.

[Someoneizalive]

how do you get the space station

[CrasHthe2nd]

It's part of the eternal silence models pack. I've just welded other bits like Life support and panels to it.

[XiDoN5]

what's with the thumper?

[CrasHthe2nd]

It's a large oil drill which supplies petrol for air conversion, coolant, power, etc. It's part of Oilmod.

[rysnyper50002]

Gotta love the oilmod! I have it btw!

[cantonschool]

Could you make a vid of that space station?

[CrasHthe2nd]

Sent you a message about the space station. Map is gm_spacewar.

[Neotheo1994]

What map is that? and is that station on any saves?
