looking forward to that really have no idea how i will use it but it could come in handy

[Colonel Thirty Two]

Its pretty much finished now. Just use it and tell me any bugs you find.

for simplicity's sake, i'd really prefer a console command or a stool, I've realised how unrealistic the SWEP is (as a request). And no, by using e2, I would have to wire it all up that way when i create it, but it's complicated to wire and code and I've already done this with both wire GATES and e2 (havent got the menu or slect thing, which is key at the moment). I ask you, please to code this for me, I knwo I sound like an Idiot asking you all to do it, but I really need it

Well, noone is going to make it. If you aren't willing to put in the effort to make a more portable solution with existing tools, why should we put even more effort into designing a SWEP complete with console commands and derma interface?
And no, you don't need it to spam your crappy APCs that have jeeps inside of them or thruster sounds or whatever.

BTW There is an E2 derma extension, and wirelinks save you most of the wiring.

Like I said, I've given up on the idea of an SWEP, so can soemone tell me in words how to lua code this thing as a stool or a console command (don't necessarily give me the code, just the method). Thanks

I'm just going to leave these here:

https://wiremod.svn.sourceforge.net/..._wire_adv_pod/
Lua - GMod Wiki

I think these line is more important:- found in the remote control lua

if trace.Entity:Link(self.Owner,true) then
				self.Owner:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTTALK, "You are now linked!")
				self.Owner.Linked = true

However, according to any programming logic I have in me, there should be a variable which stores what entity (i.e. entity number) the Remote control is linked to. The line above that code snippet is:

if trace.HitNonWorld and trace.Entity:GetClass() == "gmod_wire_adv_pod" then

but I think that is just a decision on whether or not it is actually an APC

function ENT:Link(pod,RC)
	if !pod then return false end
	self.Pod = pod
	self.RC = RC
	return true
end

That's the part of the Adv_pod i think is important
I reckon I need to do something like above, but have a stool provide the ENT and pod to the function.
TELL ME IF I'M WRONG

Why do you abbreviate Adv. Pod APC? Isn't that a vehicle from HL2?
