[mynamesucks1337]

So i have a file for Drunk combine. I know i can download it, but im going to make my own from scratch to find out how this works. So how do I use "DC_system" on the ragdoll?

[qwerty9567]

Wow.. Is there suppose to be YouTube captions? I'm on my iPhone... So, I cant see what is suppose to be happening :S

[siamsce]

Music?



[armegedon87]

i understand... But i wanna open it from otherside too how can i make that?

[ZzAntnJakzZ]

can u unban me my in game name is LastedAntonyT

[MrSunshine571]

Dude, thanks this really helped! Some spelling mistakes here and there but the tutorial is very good, it explains why you do stuff, and thats very importan!

[XMidnightrider]

okay, when I put in ''if (Ranger2) {Hydrolic=5}'' in e2 for line 7, it said Ranger2 does not exsist, even tho i have the two of the rangers already placed

[NOVS12]

@XMidnightrider You need to put Ranger2 in the @inputs section too.

[XMidnightrider]

@NOVS12 ok, thanks i did not go through the video thoroughly

[816nnm]

@NOVS12 OHMYGOD thank you so much! 

[Mavericks740]

I used Target Finder to open the door :)

Nice tutorial

[xxkillaxx2]

make another one but show how to coalr yourself need help (BADLEY)

[1018nika]

then how would you make the e2 follow you??? * if {user} y=? x=? z=? then {follow} (idk.. i guessed.. but it looks like it could be in there.. but idk how to make if follow.. can you make a tut on that???

[KudendarX007]

Yay C++ Syntax  X.x

[MikeGlassVideos]

Wouldn't it have been much easier to make this door with a target finder?

[doomhunt1]

holy crap this is like the only video I found that actually helped me learn this E2, its so easy now! well.. for the simple stuff haha

[thebeastmodeplaya]

whenever i put in @inputs i hit space and it deletes it all

[freaktasitic]

nice video, needed to learn e2, kinda getting the hang of it now. Liked

[MrRenar11]

how to get expression 2 and get expression 2 menu to wiremod?

[1337lolguyman]

still a bit useless of a tutorial, all of this is like saying "Der Stuhl ist Blau." (German for "The chair is blue") Any experienced person would know how it would be said differently when new elements are added, how syntax would be completely different if a few words were added and changed, and other words that can be used to obtain the same goal. These experienced people learned by learning these basic mechanics, only using the sentence as a handle for understanding.

[JakesterVideo]

so. this lets you make your own chips?

[plokm260]

why are u doing == in (Timer==30) ?

[NOVS12]

@plokm260 == means Is it Equal to?

= means IT IS EQUAL TO

== is a question

= is a statement

[XXXprisonguardXXX]

@NOVS12 can u help me make a code for a chopper?

[noahg2001]

@plokm260 in other words when is timer gonna be 30? when it is its gonna trigger exsplosive :D

[NOVS12]

@noahg2001 Or, is the timer equal to 30? if it is, then trigger that explosive.

= would be THAT TIMER IS EQUAL TO 30, and doesn't work in an if statement.

you never put = in ( ) brackets always a ==. and always a = in the { } brackets.

[noahg2001]

@NOVS12 i know that it kind of sounds odd yours makes a little more sense to the human ear

[BritishNathan]

how I get the expression 2? it is not in my menu, have how i download it from somewhere?

[mikeyyy4life]

dude nice but you should try to make one with a target finder!

so then when he leaves the range the door closes it might make it better :D'

just a tip (you dont have to do it. would just be nice to see a tut how to do that :D)

[SuperColin6]

u spelled hydraulics wrong :( would it still work?

[GmodRux]

@SuperColin6 Yes it will. :)

[Quistler]

Thanks!

[SmokeScreeN4000]

I might be missing something but when i type

@inputs then press the space bar the line dissapears. Help?

[godestxxx]

GREAT NOOB TRAP!!!

[eatcheeze123]

Lol BAD DOOR!

[dan36920]

To turn it normal enter

if (My:lastSaid() == "!normal") { My:setMaterial("normal")

}

[TheNinj47]

thanks the first video were i actually learned something :D

[SomeNightElf]

@NOVS12 I know how to use e2 now! Just 1 thing, why do you remove @trigger all?

[ElementWire]

@SomeNightElf So it doesn't rerun the code every time an input value changes.

[Thekapstok]

Why do you call this a tutorial for expression 2?

[NOVS12]

@Thekapstok Since it is one?

[Thekapstok]

@NOVS12 You showed us how to make things with expression 2. Not a tutorial for expression 2.

[NOVS12]

@Thekapstok Do you have annotation enabled? Are you on an ipod?

You need to have annotations enabled to see the tutorial, and they do not work on the ipod.

[Thekapstok]

@NOVS12 Oh i'm sorry i don't have an iPod. But i do have the annotations enabled. But do i know what @outputs are? @inputs? @persist? Do i know applyForce()?

Do i know runOnTick(1)? Tell me!

[NOVS12]

@Thekapstok Are you asking me questions, or trying to prove my tutorial ineffective at teaching you these things?

It tells you on the left side of the screen what each one is.

Except persist, they are  variable, waiting for a string or value.

[Thekapstok]

@NOVS12 Okay you explained(a bit) but why use annotations? it should be pre done

[fagogarbejde]

@Thekapstok well it did help me alot every time i tryed nothing happent

[fagogarbejde]

thanks it helped me alot

[NOVS12]

@CTAT98 You do not, it can be H1, Hydaulic, Hydro, Hax , or Novs. Aslong as you wire it up to that it will work, but it must have a capital first letter, otherwise e2 will think its a function.

[jeppe56]

omfg nice tut man! :D

[guybidkar]

You know, This music always reminds me how i started coding E2. NOVS, You are missing.

[NOVS12]

@guybidkar How am I missing? I covered most main parts of E2.

I'll still take some requests, except applyForce().

[guybidkar]

@NOVS12 I Mean that i am missing to your tutorials (I Am sure other people also do). You still didn't explained on Holos, applyForce (I Realy Want it), EGP 3, Console Screens and alot more. (Ofcurse i not pressing you to make it, I Sure its a hard work and you not surly know EVERYTHING about it [Even that i know what i typed, Expect from applyForce].). I Can help you making the tutorials if you need. But why you? Because there something special on you, NOVS, You explains like a pro :) .

[NOVS12]

@guybidkar Lol, thanks. I actually tried to cover console screens one time and every time I tried to record it, and I was all done, my recorder didn't save the file right, there was an error. So, I pretty much rage quit on that.

[guybidkar]

@NOVS12 As i said: "I Can hlep you making the tutorials if you need". Can you add me to Steam, Please?. guyb790

[addons\wire\lua\entities\gmod­_wire_expression2\init.lua:379­] attempt to index global 'E2Lib' (a nil value)

i dont know what i did wrong please help.

[NOVS12]

@majorair1 Get Wire SVN, your Wire is outdated and no longer works correctly.

[majorair1]

@NOVS12 where will i get it from

[Werewolf5255]

I found else {Explosive=0} helpful if you want to reuse the time bomb without replacing the e2.Otherwise the explosive kept exploding as soon as I wired a new one too it :/

[GlitcherXD]

34 people dont have gmod...

[NOVS12]

@GlitcherXD Lol.

[gregdafury]

Dude is there any way to do like,a wire turret,and make it fire if you say on the chat "Fire"?

[NOVS12]

@gregdafury Yes, look at my lastSaid() tutorial.

[Pkas1997]

the output explosive dont work for me i put explode

[HDxBouncerz]

Haha I was on my iPod watching this and was like dude this tut sucks I can't read wha he's typing so I clicked done and I saw the description, getting on my laptop now! xD

[NOVS12]

@HDxBouncerz Yeah..

[hads222]

lol this is so simple



[NOVS12]

@hads222 Indeed.

[NOVS12]

@TheMrBuBB13s Get WireSVN.

[IcefrenzyXD]

Now i dont need to use the artihmetic and stuff like that to make elevators and doors :D

[minipancho94]

2 things, 1 instead of 4 rangers couldnt you use 2 and wire them up corecctly or make it send a signal to a series of cgates that slowly decrease teh hydrolic length. also do you have to put everything with a capital at the fron or does it have to be the same spelling as what you put in input/output?

[TheDslide]

what is e2 ? / programming language ?

[lolliepop5141]

rofl door is going crazy!

[MarioLuigification]

BAD DOG!

[TheEscapeConvict]

Thanks for making this tutorial. very helpful :D

[XDjohanmystXD]

I really liked it, it was very educational. I learned a lot from this tut. Subbed... But next time... Please don't use annotations... Just speek. That is soooo much more awesome! But this one was also very helpfull. Because you could read the numbers very good. and the codes and stuff...

[daikana1]

Can you tell us how to make a sign?

[amrosik]

what is the task of @persist and @ trigger all?

[pooperscooper9999865]

you may get more views now, im learning how to make a gun shop touch screen and posted your video as a great e2 tut

[animationation]

wow thanks! This helped alot!

[BoomBoy13]

But how do I get expression 2?

[loquenderogrox2827]

nice for elevators

if (Button) {Hydrolic=number}

[NOVS12]

@loquenderogrox2827 Yes.

[TheGvestudios]

thats a fierce Teater Tater. Good Tutorial

[Gater1337]

ha, this is the best gmod tut ive seen in a long time (subbed)

[Sethybeth]

...where do i get the download for the wire 2

[PortalTutorials]

telling you how to make contraptions isn't explaining how to actually work it.

[NOVS12]

@PortalTutorials I explained it all on the left side of the screen idiot, are you on an ipod? Or a mobile phone?

[Blackrock215]

I would like it if you can explain what you are doing. Like: when I put if (Ranger1) {Thruster1=1} , I am telling thee chip to turn on the thruster when something gets in the way of the ranger.

[Nicothefunky]

Where can u download expression 2??

[soyaxD]

wow! ^^

nice video! it helped me alot! :D

[Cepaka1]

where i can download it,my gmod dont have it :(

[googleytastic]

@googleytastic

Also i just read the description and i am on an ipod so maybe you corrected in annotations? Oh well and I was having a bad day because my dog died so I felt like bitching at someone. Sorry man.

[NOVS12]

@googleytastic I did not change it, if I did, then it could confuse people in what to put. This could also show people that it doesnt matter what the name of the imputs or outputs are, as long as you keep them the same through out.

[googleytastic]

@NOVS12

Lol :D lets be best friends.

[punky14678]

hey man AWESOME VIDEO, was just wondering how you got your ranger to the exact distance between the wall and the door.

[googleytastic]

I was going to watch this video until you misspelled hydraulic in the outputs. When you made that door, the word hydraulic was at the top of your screen in big letters, then you can't even spell it right. Flame me if you want, but "speell teh repli rite."

[NOVS12]

@googleytastic Glad you liked the video. Feel free to sub.

[CrucialPC]

I subbed, thanks for the tut it helped

[blakeownzu]

dude add me on steam please I need help wiring I tryed for 2 hoyurs.. Nothing can help me add me on steam blakeownzu

[DrSpeed45]

[NahkaNakki]

[NOVS12]

@NahkaNakki I'm not here to answer those types of questions, you need Wiremod SVN, please go look up tutorials on how to SVN stuff.

[UhustickPwnU]

[cheatMASTER56]

@name door

@input T (for target finder)

@output H  (for hydrolic)

if (T) {H=100} else {H=0}

is this right?

[cheatMASTER56]

i hate whenm ppl steal my things and claim it theirs too. this is the only vid that actually helped me i think i completely understand it now. im good at wire but this should be alot easier now, if i need any help how can i contact u?

[NOVS12]

@cheatMASTER56 Youtube Private Messages.

[ColdLegend45]

I am a very good builder in gmod. And i often upload things to servers, and people steal my inventions and claim them as theirs. I was wondering you could either make a tutorial or create a code that Displays a hint when an invention is that just says something like "Created by "John." Please help.

[NOVS12]

@ColdLegend45 I can either make it display a hint like you said, or make it completely theft proof, where the can't dupe it.

[thepriestaeon]

Dude, do you know e2 already?

If you do, then you shouldn't be watching this, if you don't then if you cant spend 10 minutes learning something, your gonna fail at life.

It helped 14,000 others, so I really don't care what you think of it.
