Gmod Tutorial: Wire Tracker Bot

[nestea678]

this tutorial didnt help at all like all the other ones )=

[nestea678]

my turns so slowly for some reason

[RedDotRampage]

what's wrong with the normal game sounds?

[ArionTriploX]

i think it dont works anymore..

[googleytastic]

Couldn't you have wired the back thruster to the target finder so if it detects a target, it will go towards it?

[bright2543]

you can make turret with this?

[Shom42]

@bright2543 Sure just add a sensor on front and a turret so when someones in front of it it fires.

[XxSoulsteeler123xX]

@Shom42 Shom i got a very big problem...I want my tracker to follow me but i have to tick the "Dont target owner" Button because it got turrents...It will Follow me But the turrents will kill me...Help

[Rokaz9999]

you said add a wire sensor on the back and u put a thruster + hard to understand what ur saying with the values 100 and 200 ..

[MultiWolf9]

*bump* Were vector thrusters available when this tutorial was made?

[mickeyyeung0528]

what's the server IP?

[sidneykylebowman1]

You could have it carry things for you until you need them, in which case they're already there!

[Shom42]

ummm.... I have no clue... That sounds really weird. Maybe some glitch with the target finder.

[sidneykylebowman1]

Did you set the target finder's range up all the way?

[Caniswuff]

I put in like an uber large number :P

[sidneykylebowman1]

like 20,000?

[Caniswuff]

Sorry, Yeah. I put like 1000000000000000000 xD

[sidneykylebowman1]

Could be too high?

[lookkr]

It's probably too high, so the 'circle' of range reads you on both ends and it doesn't know which way to go (late reply ftw)

[kmncztms]

hmm, maybe the beacon sensor faces to the opposite direction

[oeb25]

@Caniswuff i have the same problem

[ShaqDieseI]

Wouldent Sign chips work better then Add and subtract

[promdawg]

aww to bad it uses wired hover balls, because the server i was going to use it on, admins can only use those.

[oath50]

I hate those limit that clients have.

[purplepandaco]

Hmmm right when I wire the back thruster to the subtract the thruster starts and never stops..

[Shom42]

Double check you have the right values. I always screw that up.

[purplepandaco]

thanks

[Shom42]

Your Welcome

[Shom42]

I'm in the dark room of construct, but I think its better for showing just that one thing with no other distractions.

[masterscorp123456789]

what map is that???

[Shom42]

gm_construct in the dark room.

[d0z2R]

Hi. thx for great tutorial, but i have some questions.

First, why your bot has so good stabilization? my take smthng like 5 secs to stabilize.

And second - where is this song from? :)

[Shom42]

Thanks. Its probably your hover ball settings. Try messing with them for a bit till you get it to your liking. Also the song and band are in the credits of all my tutorials. Song: Crazy Sunshine Band: Pillows

[DrFlanigan]

is there a way to make the robot follow a player thats up in a building or something?

Like if my robots at ground level...can i make it so that it goes up to the other person by itself if they are higher up in a building?

[Shom42]

If you mean when theres a ceiling find a door not to my knoledge.

[SumoSatsuma]

No collide it with the world using Pantheras Tigris's tools.

[borborcarcar]

Culd u make it so its high as same as the targets head ( in the video the bot goes above your head....)

[Shom42]

Just lower the constant value that your adding with.

[borborcarcar]

ok ty :D

[craky2]

my constant values only go up to 10 WTF!!!

[Shom42]

Type in the number don't use the bar.

[craky2]

thx

[YoTTaByTeGM]

=DD

[craky2]

wow this is better help than those other vidoes on hot to make a follower bot thx alot for help :3

[Nivon12]

nice vid ! keep up the good work :)

[Shom42]

Thx, though I don't think I'm going to make any more vids unless I get micromedia flash 8 to make animations.

[Shom42]

Changed my mind I'm making more.

[deffar123]

Btw, great vids u got! its so awesome.. :D

[deffar123]

i did that.. i made 100 behind it, still slow..

[chrysos98]

make the thrusters more powerfull!

[deffar123]

I cant make it fast! it moves like 3 km/h ...!

[Shom42]

MORE THRUSTER

[deathrider368]

nice can u help me?

[Manslaughterz66]

Could you add a turret to make it hunt players and zombies? XD

[Shom42]

Yeah it's easy. Just add a ranger. Set it so it goes out as far as you want. Then use a comparison gate greater than. Wire A on the comparison gate to the ranger. Put the ranger and turret in the front. Wire fire on turret to comparison chip. I do it all the time.

[Manslaughterz66]

Haha, all i did. Was add a turret wire on the front of the bot in the tutorial. Then wired it to the target finder and it worked lol. Every time it had a target it would fallow it and shoot it down haha. Fun on multiplayer :]

[MrSkateBoardCat]

U can just add a ranger then add a turret then wire the fire of the turret to the ranger

[Evilwolf95]

works for me, but it aims too high, i tested it with a beam of a ranger

[Shom42]

To make it lower just make the constant value you use for the addition chip smaller.

[kieran0201]

wtf every time i do what it says my robot keeps spinning around!?!?!

help it's so frustrating.

[Shom42]

Make sure of 2 things. The beacon sensor is in the right spot, and 2 that the thrusters are on the right side. If this dosen't work add LIGHT to your freinds list. I'm on the third page if you type in LIGHT. I have an orange for a picture.

[BadLadJon]

sweet, i've always wanted a little mechainal buddy, is there anyway to make it follow just me?

[Shom42]

In target finder put your name in the player search thing.

[GteamStudio]

Ye, just in target finder set "target player" and unset other things

[MicroR03]

wont work for me... the thrusters are like theyre set to toggle and the hoverballs are same.. im pretty sure i made no mistake..

[Shom42]

Add shom2 to your freinds list and make sure everythings in the right place. I'll show you what you did wrong.

[lcpuche]

May you Please Pleas post an adv duplicator of it?

[Shom42]

I'll teach you in game if you rate and comment what you think about some of my vids.

[lompre]

[ArashironCorporation]

[INHgroup]

[3Target33]
