    Default [Contraptions] Videos & Code

    I'll be making a bunch of short YouTube videos showing off all the contraptions I've made over the years I've been playing GMod. Starting off, I've mainly focused on the Exp2/CPU/GPU stuff which you can see below. I've released the code to each of these contraptions, which can be found on www.crustycabbage.com/gmod.

    I'll be adding to the list about once a week or so.

    Edit: Updated the Snake Vector to work with the new Exp2 performance update, and updated the Vector Crusher to target more easily using the findInSphere method.

    Vector Crusher

    A basic automatic prop-crusher made with Exp2.



    GPU PONG

    I made this to experiment with the GPU mod. It was originally meant to be for two people, however, because of the sync issues, I converted it to one-player. The code is a bit naff, since I am still very new to the GPU mod, however it works as intended. (I should replace some of those returning jumps with 'ret' which I didn't know about at the time of writing)



    Snake Vector

    Make objects fly above your head in a circle, and also follow your cursor in a snake-like fashion when pressing crouch. I've found that my version of this popular Exp2 chip seems to be the least laggy compared to others I have seen.

    That doesn't make any sense, and I didn't use Vector thrusters on any contraption.

    These aren't my first contraptions, and I'd consider these pretty advanced. They're certainly not 'first contraptions' by any means.

    It seems all too familiar.

    In truth, I made mine before he made his. We play on the same server.
    If you look at the code, they're completely different though.

    I think the last one could be improved by not getting the aim entity, but making a sphere around where you aim, and search for players in it. That way you wouldn't need your mouse directly aiming at the player, but close to it.

    That's a good idea, I'll change it when I have some time.

    You don't need to hold Ctrl, just tap it while aiming at a target.

    Also, you triple posted, you may want to delete some of those!
