A Beginners Guide to Expression 2

[Drunkie]

Ok, so I have outdated info, I swear there was holoCreate(Index,Position,Scale,Angle,Color,Model) .

That function exists.

It would have helped a bit more experienced people then me but I got confused after a few lines and stuff I don't mind its just I want to make something for myself on gmod using e2 like a ball that helps me and kills people but I need desperate help because all that I did not understand

What exactly did you not understand? <insert smiley spam here>

Nice Tutorial, this is gonna come in real handy. I have a few questions though:
1. You mentioned ApplyTorque, but didn't mention how it works. Any hints?
2. Is it possible to have one prop align itself to match another prop's rotation over a period of several seconds?
3. Can ApplyForce be used to replace a regular thruster instead of a vector one? (Can it be used to push the prop in relation to itself, not the world?)

I'm working on my first E2 project, basically a mouse-controlled flyer. You look where you want to go (and a turret on it looks at whatever you're looking at), hold W, and it turns and goes that way (Except I want it to follow the turret's angles, not the view ones).

EDIT: After seeing the applyForce/applyAngForce tutorial, I'm pretty sure I can get this working. Thanks anyway!

It is kind of weird how people who cannot really spell read this tutorial, if you made them learn a bit of E2 which seems likely, you are the tutorial God!

This actually really helped thank you. I didnt know that much intil i read this.

YOU ARE SOOOOO FRICKEN HELPFULL! Because of you I will now be geting hi-scores on Death-Minge Servers, and then be kicked from them cus they found out it was auto, and if you sit in the robo chair, it does nothing, and the E2 chip is under-water, at the bottom of the lake...
In soviet Russia Cake lies you! And Chip pr0grams toO0Oolgun.

ASM helped me with this, because of Value handling. I never thought hacking SuperMarioWorld RAM values would ever help me in the real world. Well...

For a first tutorial, this is pretty good!
Sure, theres some small spelling errors and shit, but i actually learned stuff from that.
well done!

Basic Math

A basic code would be

@name Add Expression
@inputs A B
@outputs Out
@persist
@trigger All  <- need's to be a lowercase "all", or just get rid of it completely.
Out = A + B

Ive had a fair amount of players complaining on why their E2 wont work because of this.
