Spacegate Test

[turbopokey]

you cant have two active stargates on the same planet cause the distance through "other-space"(that the wormholes tunnel thru) is so small to effectivly be the same point.

[kanelivesxbox360]

how do you get the grav controllers to lift the stargate that way

[mfsinc]

@kanelivesxbox360

Spawn a gate so it's not in the floor (like on a prop), get the WAC Gravity Controller tool from the Q menu and tick the box for SGA Powernode, setup the node as you like with sound/key/force etc, then click the gate to automatticly place 3 nodes.

I have updated the description with the new SVN link for the WAC Gravity Controller tool.

[kanelivesxbox360]

@mfsinc thanks

[kanelivesxbox360]

@mfsinc and what does sga powernode mean

[mfsinc]

@kanelivesxbox360

Stargate Atlantis powernode, the small pods you see on the sides of orbiting spacegates.

[kanelivesxbox360]

@mfsinc thanks

[rotoman2002]

when i saw this i thought it was the most EPIC thing ever and it is XD

[TheMPMusicRecords]

what happend to the spacegate? (and what program do you use?)

[mfsinc]

@TheMPMusicRecords

The program is Garry's Mod, a Half-Life 2 modification on the Source Engine. The addon is the Stargate SVN (google it). GMod is $10 from Steam.

I also used an addon called a Gravity Controller for the power nodes (in description)

[GamerG0d1337]

You didnt have the fwoosh affect. I am disappointed.

[MarblesStudios]

just out of curiocity, what happens if you hit the iris?

[mfsinc]

@MarblesStudios

If the player touches it, nothing happens. same with props, bullets, and explosions.

[MarblesStudios]

oh, ok

[smatteringofapplause]

@mfsinc

I think he meant traveling through it, like in the show. A full explanation.

[mfsinc]

@smatteringofapplause

A traveling animation is not possible in Source as the player is instantly moved to the exit gate, there is a more detailed explanation in the Stargate SVN readme file.

[smatteringofapplause]

@mfsinc

That's not what I meant. I meant what happens when you collide with the Iris mid-transit.

[mfsinc]

@smatteringofapplause

Ah, you die. If you enter the dialing gate and the exit gate has the iris closed you are disintegrated. If you collide with the front of the iris on the exit gate, like walk upto it, you just hit a solid prop.

[smatteringofapplause]

@mfsinc

XD

I know that, I'm a Stargate geek! You should be telling him. lol

[thatguywithnoname]

@mfsinc You're not actually disintegrated. If the iris is closed then you aren't re-molecularized properly, so you wouldn't feel any pain.

[arunas137]

@thatguywithnoname theoretically... and i'm just spitballing here but umm, would you feel disintegration? it's like an instant reduction into sub-atoms.

[thatguywithnoname]

@arunas137 I honestly don't even remember making that comment... In the first episode they said it felt like going through a blizzard because of how cold the de-molecularization felt..

[spartan6497]

@smatteringofapplause no, your jumper gets cut in half

[smatteringofapplause]

@spartan6497 Who said you'd be using a jumper? Also, keep in mind that the front half of an object doesn't come out of one side until the back half is completely in the other. Such as in SGA 1-4 "38 minutes".

[mmtigan]

@smatteringofapplause A traveling animation would be useless. Plus, in the show, it's put there just for effect. You're not whole when you're being transported through the wormhole, so you don't see shit capt'n.

[smatteringofapplause]

@mmtigan I MEANT TRAVELING THROUGH AND THEN HITTING THE IRIS.

Gah, read the comments first!

[mmtigan]

@smatteringofapplause I did read the comments. I was just taking note of that shit for the sake of arguement moyt.

[chubbsfan111]

@MarblesStudios Also, if you go through the portal when the Iris is closed, you instantly die :C

[MarblesStudios]

@chubbsfan111 of coarse. silly me :P

[nnjox]

were do you download the stargate addon

[mfsinc]

Google for "Stargate SVN"

[vadrieriand]

u use tortoise svn

[fetsen1]

bad ass mod

[Linus3424]

How did you get it so upright`?

[mfsinc]

That's the Gravity Controller, it can reset to a position set by Wire coordinates.

[LiMpIcH]

Okey hmmm how? XD

[LiMpIcH]

i got stargate and Gravity controller v2 and wiremod but i sux at wire, could you send me a ADV on it? :D

[mfsinc]

Cant, it dont adv dupe properly, look on facepunch forums or wiremod forums for wire help.

[Linus3424]

omfg omfg where an i get it? O_O

[mfsinc]

Google "Stargate SVN" for the gate, and "Gravity Controller v2" for the nodes on the side. The Iris comes with the SVN, and a bit of wireing is needed to make it all work right (if you know Wiremod it's easy)

[Cyndrakkos]

the kawoosh isn't happening because it detects an iris, that prevents the unstable wormhole from taking place

[Avatarfan117]

Shouldn't the gate still give off the unstable vortex when the iris is open?

[Raandomass]

No you idiot, the iris blocks it.

[Ghostkiller5555]

no stupid the blast only comes from the calling gate

[bartat404]

@Ghostkiller5555 Not true.  Here's the proof. ?v=ac6gjW4uMgQ

[myutube67]

very nice job, thats kool
