Gmod E2 drone tutorial

[Starioshka]

e2 is for noobs.

[rhymeswith0r4n63]

@Playerblade no look up "pewpew" its a gmod weapon system you can download

[Playerblade]

@weoweno How did you make that it shoots?

[thehackerofourworld]

What do I do with the code??

[MisterKuzya]

Wow

[scull621]

Ok fixed it I feel soooo stupid! Just went through the code childish error . I added an extra " on my line 12 XD hah I'm so stupid. I changed a thew things in the code too to increase the performance in it

[scull621]

Ok fixed that now it says undetermined string on this ["active",number] I dont know what is wrong with it

[scull621]

@18nnm wow u should get that looked at 0_o

[scull621]

It says I can't have RunOnTick(1) wrf is wrong with it o_o

[lolypopboy777]

thanx it works for me! :D

[abcdefgh1234534]

Guys I can't see the E2 Chip help only the E1 via Expression!

[SpectreSpectrum]

Whoever says this doesn't work isn't doing it right.

However, when I dupe it a couple times sometimes the drone faces the wrong way (eg. up, down, sideways). Is there any way to prevent and/or fix this?

[MrRomaKiller2]

WWWWWHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ITS DONT WORK ?!!?!?!?71

[swiftstrike747]

Ya bro the cameras aren't working can you please explain that, thanks.

[AncientTerra]

HI man could you Make a reall quick video or just a code with weapons on it ? for spacebuild ?

[816nnm]

My jaw literally dropped D:

[weoweno]

@816nnm you should go to hospital or something :D

[816nnm]

@weoweno lol

[SANDYFLAKES]

I love it ^^ But i made some small adjustments.

Replaced "E:setMass(50000)" with this:

if (first() | (~E & E)) { E:setMass(50000)

)

And replaced:

"E = entity():isWeldedTo()" with

@inputs E:entity

after that it works perfect ^^

[RarityIsBestPony]

@weoweno

Yes, it would say I need a bracket in a spot and once I put it there it would say not needed. Although the new one is ALOT differrnt then the one in the description.

[weoweno]

@RarityIsBestPony guess i need to check it out

[RarityIsBestPony]

My friend fixxed the e2 so I don't need anymore help :D

[weoweno]

@RarityIsBestPony there was something wrong with the e2?

[DerojasTV]

@weoweno How do you make it shoot ?

[boneygibbon]

@DerojasTV Are you dumb or have you never heard of pew pew?

[DerojasTV]

@boneygibbon Never heard what's that ?

[boneygibbon]

@DerojasTV Its a very powerful weapon spawner you can use with wire look it up on youtube

[Playerblade]

@boneygibbon i cant find anything :(

[boneygibbon]

@Playerblade did you search on youtube?

[Playerblade]

@boneygibbon yes i searched for e2 turret, e2 rocket launcher, wire cannon ....

but i still cant find anything

[RarityIsBestPony]

@weoweno I still can't get this to work the error is: Indexing operator ([]) requires a lower case type [X,t] at line 10, char 8 and the line is Pod["W"]number,]A=Pod["A",numb­er] S=

[RarityIsBestPony]

One more thing what is the rest of the line after Ang=

[weoweno]

@RarityIsBestPony that is the code that makes it move + camera xD... E = entity():isWeldedTo() is just the thing what it chooses to control... Rarity sure is lovely pony but my favourites from main 6 is Pinkie pie and Fluttershy :)

[RarityIsBestPony]

Could you make it so you can tell what line it is?

[weoweno]

@RarityIsBestPony it needs to be able to be copy pasted... you can count them

[nazizombierobot]

Crashes constantly

[weoweno]

@nazizombierobot did you go into water with it?

[nazizombierobot]

@weoweno no i just put the e2 on it and it spins around very fast and then it crashes with a HL2.exe has stopped working error. But i have heard about the physics engine just added 2 days ago is causing alought of crashing, so that might not be the drone fault entirely. A request to, can you make it like a plane. More like look around with it not just do barrel rolls.

[weoweno]

@nazizombierobot this is only tutorial how to make the piece move... im not good at decorating anything :x

[MethshockFilms]

The camera doesn't work for me.... can you explain how you did the wiring? :( 

[weoweno]

@MethshockFilms starts at 0:45

[ChaoMario]

thanks man this is cool

[ObjectableApparatus]

what guns where u using

[weoweno]

@ObjectableApparatus guns from pew pew addon.

[SyoTheGreat]

U should try attaching the seat to the drone. That way it would be more like a plane and wherever it goes you go too.

[weoweno]

@SyoTheGreat i think it would not work. seat needs to be straight so the drone goes where it needs to.

[mutanTV131]

@weoweno how come at Cam["Position", it tells me [indexing operator([]) requires a lowercase type [x,t] at line 23 char 15??? please respond

[weoweno]

@mutanTV131 did you change anyof it? check that you didn't accidently press any buttons.

[mutanTV131]

@weoweno i looked,checked and replayed this video 31 times...i even paused at the part where you showed the editor menu and zoomed in to see and same thing.

[weoweno]

@weoweno idk whats happening in there... line 23 is empty for me... check that you have all lines there. just copy paste the whole thing

[ManBoobie123]

@weoweno My chip wont work, it says "statements must be separated by comma (,) or whitespace at line 6, char 10."

sorry if this is a easy thing to figure out, im a complete E2 newb and im really confused on how it even works -.-

[TheDunnoNinja]

@weoweno, sorry I didn't check, thank you!

[TheDunnoNinja]

Added to favs, gonna make it in a bit

[weoweno]

@TheDunnoNinja ask if you need help.

[TheDunnoNinja]

@weoweno Can you give me the drone codes? I cant find them in my E2 :[

[weoweno]

@TheDunnoNinja they are in description

[liljohn560]

Hey, i've followed the insturctons completely and I can control the drone, but the camera does not follow directly behind it as shown in the video, instead, it just stays locked around the player in the seat. Any ideas as to why this could be happening? I really want this one to work!

[weoweno]

@liljohn560 hmm... i would make sure everything went correcly.

[liljohn560]

@weoweno I did say that I followed it completely and it did work, it's just the camera didn't follow the drone, instead it just pointed at it! Can I get an adv dupe?

[weoweno]

@liljohn560 pointed at it? explain more

[liljohn560]

@weoweno Basically, the camera becomes almost like the old 3rd person view you'd get by pressing control, and just aims at the drone instead of what's shown in the video where the camera actually follows the drone in 3D space. Does that clear things up a bit? :D

[weoweno]

@liljohn560 hmm idk whats that all about. i might recreate my drone and see if any proplems come up.

[weoweno]

@zazo6 good. then my knowledge in E2 hasn't yet rusted. have been playing ZS instead of sandbox for while now. mr.green ZS server is really good. i have been playing there since i started playing gmod, and that was long time ago. why im writing this? well good that it works. use it wisely.

[MegaGamer50]

How do i make the drone not slowly fall down?

[weoweno]

@MegaGamer50 by looking the code i can see that there is only 1 line that has mass amount and is related to shift. E:applyForce(E:up()*(Space-Shi­ft)*E:mass()*100) for example E:applyForce(E:up()*(Space-Shi­ft)*E:mass()*50) would reduce it to half. tell me if the result when you try it

[MegaGamer50]

@weoweno It just makes it slower to move up and down, falls at the same speed

[weoweno]

@MegaGamer50 oh you mean gravity xD. try this with simple one first by making non-gravity to them. so take you physical properetias or something like that and take gravity off and there you go. remember to put it to every prop.

[MegaGamer50]

@weoweno you may not know this but, I was wondering how to use wire to shoot rockets? And by this i mean Not using gcombat, pewpew, or SpaceBuild

[weoweno]

@MegaGamer50 you could use amraam addon. its easy to use and it should be mobile.

[weoweno]

@zazo6 yeh i know what it is... there is file there that causes it for some reason. try looking from wiremod folder for it... and make sure you putted the wiremod files in addon folder... and i mean this folder garrysmod/addons haves these folders : wiremod, wiremod_model_pack_1 and adv duplicator

[weoweno]

@zazo6 you usec ctrl + c and ctrl + v? also try updating your wiremod folder

[militaryson94]

What map is this? looks great! also did you make this code? If so could you make a tut on the code itself and explain what code does what?

[weoweno]

@militaryson94 the map is gm_buttes and the coding was done partly by me and partly by my friend.(he teached me the basics of E2 and these applyforce coding)

[Tzz1000]

and the shoot code (german kennt einer den code womit er schiesse)

[xXxXxXLOLZXxXxXx]

nvm



[xXxXxXLOLZXxXxXx]

Please help im new to e2 and it keeps saying unterminated string (",number)...) at line 29, char 38

[weoweno]

@xXxXxXLOLZXxXxXx

E:applyForce(E:up()*(Space-Shi­ft)*E:mass()*100)

that one? did you copy paste the code?

[Tamaraltahan]

Great video, works perfectly.

And really nice work btw!

[weoweno]

@Tamaraltahan thanks. nice to hear you liked it.

[Djpaladin]

I'm trying to use this on a prop that must have been designed backwards. The cam and directions on the E2 are facing the rear of the prop. what would i have to change to make them face the opposite direction?

[weoweno]

@Djpaladin hmm... i don't know about that. i guess you could try to mess with cam angles but that propaply wont work

[predatorguy07]

hey, great tutorial but ive gotone problem.... when i try to link the E2's "cam" to my cam controller i get a lua error

"[addons\wire\lua\entities\gmo­d_wire_expression2\init.lua:17­2] attempt to call field 'ClientError' (a nil value)"

[weoweno]

@predatorguy07 try reinstalling wiremod. if you get lua errors when holdin wire tool then it can be repaired with simple reinstall of wiremod addon. i have not seen this proplem before but its most likely that it will be fixed with that.

[predatorguy07]

@weoweno kk ill do that now

[weoweno]

@CakeLier i replied alredy... i guess its little hidden for somereason heres the repply = weapons from pew pew addon. i can't remember what they were propaply something like 5mm explosive rounds and death ray

[MineCraftTime101]

what was it shooting

[weoweno]

@MineCraftTime101 i was trying to hit the house...

[MineCraftTime101]

@weoweno I ment like what type of explosives or whatever was the drone shooting

[weoweno]

@MineCraftTime101 weapons from pew pew addon. i can't remember what they were propaply something like 5mm explosive rounds and death ray

[p1nn3rT]

can you explain it?

[weoweno]

@p1nn3rT explain what

[p1nn3rT]

@weoweno

how you make the drone move with the mouse.

V = E:toLocal(rotationVector(quat(­Ang)/quat(­E))+E:pos())

E:applyTorque((200*V - 25*E:angVelVector())*E:inertia­())

can you explain your code to me? what does it do?

[weoweno]

@p1nn3rT that code makes it follow where you look... this part makes camera follow prop but not move. @name prop camera @inputs Pod:wirelink Cam:wirelink @outputs @persist runOnTick(1) E = entity():isWeldedTo() Ang = Pod["Entity",entity]:driver():­eyeAngles() Cam["Angle",angle] = E:angles() Cam["Position",vector] = E:pos()+vec(-100,0,50):rotate(­E:angles()) Cam["Activated",number] = Pod["Active",number] and if you want you add that piece of code here to make it move. the rest is movement

[weoweno]

@p1nn3rT sorry about that no space thingy... that message went like crazy... but this

V = E:toLocal(rotationVector(quat(­­Ang)/quat(­E))+E:pos())

E:applyTorque((200*V - 25*E:angVelVector())*E:inertia­­())

makes it follow where you look... you need to add the camera position and enable it... + make inputs and mark the entity

[p1nn3rT]

@weoweno thanks :P

[weoweno]

@p1nn3rT np
