Gmod: Sports Car Suspension Tutorial

[redreaper2020]

at the end I thought Cloud was fighting the Rat Pack.

[camj420]

@Vicious713 whats the badass map you got there?

[xXMxExGxAxDxExTxHXx]

whats that Swing type music at the end?



[Vicious713]

@xXMxExGxAxDxExTxHXx Oh i'm sorry, ya it's a cover of FF7 Shinra's theme xD 

[xXMxExGxAxDxExTxHXx]

@Vicious713 xD i asked i different question than youre used to answering >=D

i reference this video alot btw =P

[SKULL0FD3ATH]

what up with the porn music >.>

[Vicious713]

@SKULL0FD3ATH It's the theme from Red Alert =O

[SKULL0FD3ATH]

@Vicious713 oh never played the game so did not know sorry xD

[Vicious713]

@FuckingCockRamBitch0 You obviously have no idea how garry's mod works. Keep playing with it and stop bothering me about it.

[Vicious713]

@FuckingCockRamBitch0 The heavier the weight, the stronger the weld. 

[TigerMeet2142]

THIS IS A GOOD TUTORIAL!!!, wish other good do the same

[Vicious713]

@TigerMeet2142 Other Goods? 

[TigerMeet2142]

@Vicious713 please i made a plane..... and how to make it one massive piece cuz altough everytihng is welded.... i still have a floppy plane.... like a rubber dildo do you understand what i mean i want to make a strong massive piece... please any idea? and if you say ball socket.... what settings?

[Vicious713]

@TigerMeet2142 Oh, your not thinking about this right, Garry's Mod Doesn't work that way. The more constraints you have, the more difficult it is for the engine to work with the contraption. The ball socket settings just keep the wheels and the body of the car facing a similar attitude. If you want a really stable contraption, you can try making sure a prop doesn't collide with any of it's neighbors, and then only weld every piece to one particularly heavy piece in the middle.

[TigerMeet2142]

@Vicious713 i did welded everything to each other...... just with select all and weld + no collide well any idea what i need to do now to at least make it stronger? [what is contraption btw] im not full english and still a bit noob at gmod

[Vicious713]

@TigerMeet2142 No no, that Select All and Multi Weld business is just awful, especially for servers. The welds are practically random and have no decent structure. It's always better to weld things the old fashion way. I'd suggest adv duping with 'no constraints' and trying again.

[TigerMeet2142]

@Vicious713 okay is there a faster way to uncontraint, exept freezing everything and reload welds prop by prop?

[TigerMeet2142]

@Vicious713 okay i get it, but  how to lower the air resistance of a prop... it must be possible in the engine... since you can do that too with hoverballs

[TigerMeet2142]

@Vicious713 its not working, i can mess with wight tool, but no one piece is not working.... i need a ball socket setting since garry just cant make a weld tool that REALLY welds and not just 2 props having connection to each other....

[TigerMeet2142]

2 props

massivly together as one strong piece, i would pay for that to bring out that tool...... i just cant make big moving vehicles or they are just one big floppy thing

[Xzifas]

I'm on my Droid, and I don't know how to quote you.

But anyway, I can't get my steering to be as smooth as yours. I'll just use hydraulics.

[Xzifas]

What is the multipliers on your thrusters?

[Vicious713]

@Xzifas Really? This is about the suspension, not the thrusters =P

[5618684631]

@Xzifas I used 500 for front and back and 300 for the sides i keep the max at 1000

[Nixblicker77]

In my ballsocket - advanced i cant select anything, especialy not "dupe movement". And if i try it with normal settings, it doesnt work for me. Even Google doesnt know anything about "dupe movement". Do i need any extra tools or what else can i do?

[Vicious713]

@Nixblicker77 The settings also more popularly known as "Slave" and i think it's now included with Gmod's default ball socket presets. But you should be able to match the sliders i've shown here in my video.

[Nixblicker77]

@Vicious713 Thanx for your answer. I do very exactly the same as you on your vid, but it doesnt work for me. I tested it now with two props who have an axis... Ballsocket - advanced with the same settings as in your vid. click the first prop, then the second, but both turns free as if they where not linked together... where do i make the mistake ?!?

[Vicious713]

@Nixblicker77 I don't think i understand, try using your settings on 2 free props, They should mimick eachothers movement exactly. If they're not, then your simply not doing something right o.O

[Nixblicker77]

@Vicious713 what the... wow... ive checked it more than 5 times... all settings where exactly the same. But the props are not linked together... so i tryed to build anything else and crashed gmod. After the restart it works perfectly... anyway, thank you very much for your help and your nice vid :)

[Nixblicker77]

@Vicious713 EDIT: ... forget to mention it: i dont have ANY presets in this tool... theres just "default" but nothing more... 

[einyel18]

where you download these wheels¿?

[Vicious713]

@einyel18 They come with PHX's model pack.

[RykerSlade]

Great Tut! :) What's the name of this map?

[rhinosaur354]

looks very effective. thanks, i'll build one and apply many of your techniques.

[martijnbeers1993]

plz can you help me with the ball socket advenced if i do that me wheels can turn can you help me plz ? :)

[MrGraffitiMaker]

What's the map???? help plzz

[MrGraffitiMaker]

What's the map???? Help plz...............

[Kankaito]

i find something weird......i see the system requirement 1gb ram is needed. but i only have 512 rams. and theres no lag

[NLmonsterNL]

@Kankaito you will find out when u spawn lots of props it starts to lagg,,,i have 4gb ram

[Kankaito]

@NLmonsterNL true......when i spawn alot of props and the game freeze when i spawn ragdolls like CSS, TF2 and all the 1gb source game.

[RayMaster67]

You guys know the cheapest and best place to buy this at(with the most recent version?)

[irishkeebler]

were can i get this game or program at?

[Vicious713]

It's Garry's Mod, you can find it on Steam.

[irishkeebler]

does it work with 64 bit vista?

[Vicious713]

Ya.

[Vicious713]

@soytam

Anything aesthetic should be parented to a wire chip. Not an Expression chip, they operate differently, but rather something like an Add Gate. Once parented, the props collision and weight has no effect.

[soytam]

@Vicious713

can you lead me a tutorial how to do that,

It'll be helpful.

[soytam]

@Vicious713

Please advice an tutorial of parenting props.

Don't leave me stuck !

[soytam]

this tutorial looks nice,thank you.

[ZE0SPantera]

Thank you for the thank you.. Was getting ready to tear you a new one!

[Vicious713]

@ZE0SPantera

Pffft if it weren't for you i'd still be trying to use beams and axises >.>;

[PnXClan]

Y must u dupe sideways?

[Vicious713]

@PnXClan The Advanced Ball Socket settings keep the wheels aligned with the direction of the chassis. When you change the angle of a paste, it still Ball Sockets the same way you did the first time you made the contraption. So if you were to paste this chassis Upright, the wheels would flop, or probably spaz.

[Lewissnicholls]

Ok thx for the tip :).

[Lewissnicholls]

diff channel same guy btw.

[h0troddude]

Helped alot. 5/5

[jpodejko]

HOLY SHIT!!! What are the stats on your computer when it was shown in the begining i though it was real!!!! please reply!

[Vicious713]

@jpodejko lol, the car at the beginning hardly shadows. Anywho, i'm running a Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 gigs of DDR2, 2 Nvidia 9600's, and Windows7 :P It's really not that great anymore, but it handles all these old games just fine xD

[jacobryberg]

How do you get that phx tire i already have phx3 SVN? and by the way nice video please answer

[Vicious713]

@jacobryberg Make sure your prop cache is up to date, and do a search for "40" or, "Wheel" and see if it pops up

[reldnahc100]

Which recording software do you use?

[Vicious713]

Just fraps, full version.

[reldnahc100]

Wow. That looks so nice. Did you "illegally" download it? If so, message me lol.

[Vicious713]

Illegally down load what? Fraps? xD no, i didn't,..

[reldnahc100]

Lol. Okay.

[Vicious713]

Only friends can PM you :P

[xXMxExGxAxDxExTxHXx]

whats the map?

[bertocaster]

I have a question. I have this pesky little problem when steering. When i steer left, and when the wheel returns to the straight mode, it does not really go very straight. Any solutions?

[Vicious713]

Try adding the same elastic you used for suspension from the chassis's side, to the control arm that steers the wheels. That should bounce the steering straight again. =D

[bertocaster]

How do i make it more rigid so that it swerves back real straight? Or is it just impossible?

[Vicious713]

You just gotta keep playing with the elastic settings, and their placements.

[Hudson633rd]

Sounded like the music from Red Alert, cool video

[Vicious713]

it's a remix of it xD

[dvdprui]

i like it

Why don't you just do a horizontal leaf spring, though? Like the corvette has? A few stacked and welded props with a rope to keep them tight would provide good flex and a proper camber angle.

stack a place in center, one on either side and above, and one over those the same way, so you have a faintly bent shape. Then weld the middle tot he car frame and the outer ones carry the wheels. Provides excellent handling. But good job!

[Vicious713]

Interesting idea, i never thought about leaf springs in gmod. I made this for a contraption, and it seems that every time i place it in a server people ask me how i made it. So i thought I'd make a tutorial and post it on the forums.
