GMod: Gravity Hull Designator Part 2

[Oldenheimer1913]

Absolutely the most incredible tool ever introduced to gmod. Besides welding of course. I say the final version of this should be included in gmod by default. Because anything and everything you can make in the game can only be improved by having its own localized gravity. Elevators, space ships, cars no longer needing everyone (only the driver) in a shitty chair or that lets you barely see anything, huge walking mechs, planes and loads more. No more spazzing out, no more deaths by physics, etc.

[phoenixstorms9]

This is fantastic :)

Makes me want to play Gmod again :)

[NerfyNerfNerfer]

whoa!!!!! my head just exploded! as for making ships, you could make carriers, all sorts of crap!!!! awesome idea: halo pelican

[Cryptobones117]

Would a mapper be able to implement this in hammer? Because that would be freaking awesome. Also, the sphere thing would work in reverse of what neon said wouldn't it? The ghd would render the hulls as squares based on sphere size right?

[vgdude999]

I'm surprised breen at 2:33 didn't blow up his head and scream HAAAAAX!

[kamber56]

I LOVE YOU!!

[stillalive0013]

so this practically moves the world around the cube, instead of the cube moving in the world

[deadmonkey212]

...stupid wii wont let me type links

[deadmonkey212]

First, sorry about the 2x reply, damn wii sucks (I love Gmod and PCs, hate Wiis, dont judge me) 2nd heres PREY link for my idea

/watch?v=0zQZkpum08A type that in front of youtube.com

[deadmonkey212]

SWEET it works on PHX! Now that I know phx can be gravitized, I'm going to make alien gravity platforms that curve upward, making you look like you're wall-walking, like from PREY (link to PREY game video in a few moments)

[m82sniper99]

Bear my children.

[SJHWVU]

seeing description of video: HAHAH, Silly man You cant have gravity hulls in gmod.

Sees Video: Eh well ..........

[cheremenin]

Oh finally. I can pack resources and stuff on packaging station and deliver them WITHOUT them being bounced around and even flying out to space.

[Darkbuilderx]

Oh god that is AWESOME!

[MrGmodlol61]

I think i missed it, but how are NPC's reacting to this?

[selulancie]

I am speechless, probably the best thing ive EVER seen!

[Darkquer]

awesome

[Dragonaushproduction]

What server is this? i wanna try it after Garry gets ANOTHER broken update fixed

[TheGLaDOSvideoCore]

We can use it for first person machinimas or an Alien vs Predator machinima

[masterofsomthin]

Only two words can perfect describe this addon: Holy crap

[HzrdFilms]

THIS IS BRILLIANT! I have the ultimate question though, what happens when you apply it to a sphere? Can you walk completely around it? Does this mean that you can build planets with local gravity in spacebuild, instead of being confined to platforms?

[NeonKizen]

@HzrdFilms From what I know, you cant use it on actual spheres, but I do have an idea. You could possibly create small flat surfaces(to the shape of a sphere) all with the gravity full. In theory that should work. But I do hope that he somehow makes it so you can actually use it on Sphere props and what-not. :D

[SuperLlama53]

@NeonKizen once the physgun beam can be drawn, I'm going to add a spherical planet entity that uses the same kind of technique. Difference is that the physgun beam will actually have to bend around the planet as if affected by gravity-- there is no way around this short of making every interaction illusional by giving every player and prop their own version of the hull, which would be very slow.

[NeonKizen]

@SuperLlama53 Ah, I get it. Well I hope that you figure something out! This is amazing man. Very good job :D

[Sonic222333]

So genius!!!

[Catervarii]

You sir, are god.

[NeonKizen]

wow...this is awesome... O___O

[BallsBlew]

In your honor....

[GoldenOne2435]

This is so sweet. When is it coming out?

[SuperLlama53]

@GoldenOne2435 It is out; see the first video for the facepunch thread

[GoldenOne2435]

@SuperLlama53 ok, thanks.

[MrJoe4429]

This video made me feel slightly sick.

[David200k]

what is this?? I've never seen this program before? Somebody Reply please?

[ENDORPHINSAM]

@David200k It's called Garry's Mod, Google it. It's a modification of a video game called "Half-Life 2" and it is used to pose ragdolls, make entities with LUA, ect. It's quite fun. And only for 9.99$ it is worth it. I have got about 500 hours of playtime for that measly 10$.

[SuperLlama53]

@ENDORPHINSAM 500? Mine is 1647, but mostly because I leave it open while coding :P

[ENDORPHINSAM]

@SuperLlama53 Sorry for the typo, I meant "I have got about 500 hours of playtime SO FAR for that measly 10$"

:D, also I am very excited that a super Lama such as yourself replied to my comment, more than I can say for that Hurricane fellow..

[comanche999999]

@David200k Garrysmod

[David200k]

@comanche999999

I guessed it was a Mod; but a Mod for which program....

[comanche999999]

@David200k Half-Life 2

[David200k]

@comanche999999

Thanks ... Unfortunately, my system can't run Half-Life 2 ... not enough video ability.... *sigh*

[cjc2468]

OMG....... we will now be able to make orbiting rings around planets >:D

[cjc2468]

this will change Gmod forever

[linkmaster561]

whoever disliked this needs to go to hell

[Kingyoshi2010two]

How did you do the giant cube thing moving around?

[MrPahan252]

вы все дибилы и лохи

[c0nmast3r1]

Physics, GLORIOUS PHYSICS.

[ScottWired]

Wow! The best part is no dislikes so far =D

But what about a vertical axis? Will that swing to the ground?

Is it possible to make it only work to a certain angle before things fall out?

Other wacky things like reversing gravity or combusting everything that comes within? >=)

[ScottWired]

Wow! The best part is no dislikes so far =D

But what about a vertical axis? Will that swing to the ground?

[ScottWired]

[KommandosNOD]

Гарри мудак!

[thaoval123]

OMFG, Garysmod REALLY REALLY REALLY needs this

you must tell gary!!

[romansport1]

Where you download this GMod???

[thaoval123]

@romansport1 steam

[gmodperson1337]

THIS

IS

AWESOME!!!

[austinowns0331]

This would be PERFECT for ships that bring down items, seeing how the items fly around as the thing drops.

[jamends1220]

This made my head full of fuck.

[SuperNoobdude]

this is the tool they`used in inseption

[Lulzman69]

This is awesome!...

So if you can find an empty space map, skybox and all, with only the sun, you can actually create prop-based, rotating worlds, with day/night transitions! Add in the mod the lets you turn an object into water, and you got yourself a whole new ecosystem! :D

[wizardgherkin]

@Lulzman69

I find your aspiration admirable.

:D

[Lulzman69]

@wizardgherkin Hey, as soon as I get me GMod, I am going to build my own little universe. :D

I've got a HUGE list of stuff I want to build!

So unless you feel like donating it, I'm afraid that putting my ideas into practice is going to take some time. .-.

[PirateNaziZombie]

You are a LUA KING

[TheHellfaction]

It's amazing how GMan can fly 100meters and still hold on to his suitcase. ;D

Thumbs up, if you agree.

[sofukindumb]

@TheHellfaction

No. Get the fuck out.

[mrAbstact]

Some moments...reminds me a Portal 2.

An very very useful tool, just brilliant.

[dev02ify]

Boner.

[D2TSXV]

It would be wonderful if this featured things like outside force being applied if you accelerate too fast, ie you could normally stand on top of a car, but if the car takes off you wouldn't stay standing on it.

[SuperLlama53]

this is planned, actually :)

it'll take the form of an inertial dampener slider, where 0% will apply the inverse of all exterior acceleration to the props inside, and 100% will behave as it does now. There will also be a threshold allowing you to set the maximum force required for the inertia to be applied.

[rodlon]

This is amazing!!!

And could be used for spherical planets in spacebuild, or asteroids, or for crazy puzzle(or just crazy xD) maps with up/down reversed stairs!!

[jontecool92]

@rodlon Nope, it couldn't be used for spherical planets, unless you spam individual props, similar to how vertices form a circle.

[freshbluebeans]

is gmod a game?



[mcBdawg]

GARRY'S INCEPTION.

[ghostalin]

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD

[NeoCranium]

Is it possible to make it feel acceleration? Like when the ship is moving at the same velocity you'll move at that rate but when it speeds up or slows down it'll affect you.

[Levus28]

Say, could you use this on a sphere to create a Super Mario Galaxy styled gravity pull?

[paulusrantala]

Shit just got an awesome idea including this and a helicopter

[Mobeh1]

this is amazing, sir, i just think you buttraped the source engine :3

[DieHardDeus]

This is beautiful.

[SuperLlama53]

@toddnollan Two can exist, but if you put hull A inside hull B, hull A will not function properly and will render your view somewhere else. This will be fixed eventually so that you can have nested hulls.

[chinoto1]

@SuperLlama53 Even if you have already solved this, give the tool a priority setting so players can choose which hull will affect a player if they are inside more than one. For props with the same priority, just pick the one with smaller volume.

[SuperLlama53]

@chinoto1 actually nesting works properly now as of the beta release, except if you go too deep you teleport sometimes. Works fine with hull A being inside of hull B, though.

[TaylorWeza]

Cool Cube you got there!

[AxelsDawn]

That's amazing, Mr. SuperLlama

[D3ltra]

Love it. How does it know/how do you know yourself, what parts it has included in the system? Do you apply it to each one individually? How does it work?

[SuperLlama53]

@D3ltra It's constraint-based-- so you just weld some props together and shoot it. It currently only works with prop_physics though.

[D3ltra]

@SuperLlama53 Very nice. So what is defined as the region it operates on, then? The overall bounding box of the props in the constraintsystem?

[SuperLlama53]

@D3ltra It's defined as any location having a floor and at least one non-floor (i.e. wall, ceiling). It reuses values and stores them in a 3D grid, so it doesn't have to do 6 traces every second for every object. Works pretty well, a lot better than the old way, which was just to trace away from the center of the "ship" and see if it hit a wall-- that didn't work very well especially for curved hallways and things.

[cristovao4]

@SuperLlama53 Very cool tool, How can i get it , will you put it for download?

[SuperLlama53]

@cristovao4 It's up already as an svn download, gravityhull.googlecode
