Wire - Magnet

wire grabber?

There was a lua script for Garry's Mod 9 that acted in a similar fashion. You could give the magnets magnetic fields around them that could push and pull objects. It was pretty neat, especially when you caused objects to orbit around the main magnet.

Having this feature for Wire would be even cooler. (I know the Wire mod is for Garry's Mod 10, I'm just making references to Garry's Mod 9)[/b]

I believe people might be referring to Jinto's [ame="http://forums.facepunchstudios.com/showthread.php?t=68218"]Magnetic Containment Device[/ame] and/or [ame="http://forums.facepunchstudios.com/showthread.php?t=70727"]Enhanced Magnets[/ame] both developed for GMod9 and both threads now locked by the Garry's Gestapo due to people doing the most heinous of crimes, asking when this might be ported to GMod10.

This i was looking at only the other day, and yeap, i'd love to see this revived as a GMod10/Wiremod device.

You could use a Wire Grabber on a prop, with a ranger, launch your hook twards the object, and if it hits the ranger it will fire the Grabber and hold on to it, then just winch the bugger in or out [/b]

I've found a pretty reliable method to catch things with a grabber.

You need a grabber, an OR gate, an AND gate, an IDENTITY gate and a pulser timer gate.

Wire the pulser's Run and time to the IDENTITY.

Wire the OR to the Pulser and the Grabber's Holding output.

Wire the AND to the OR and the IDENTITY.

Wire the Grabber to the AND.

The value you set to the IDENTITY will be how often the grabber checks to see if it can catch something. So the lower the value it is the more often it checks.
When it catches something the grabber will stay on until you set the IDENTITY to 0.

For some evil fun you can place a grabber on a hover drive controller, and set it to teleport when the grabber is holding something. Then just toss the resulting aberration at some poor Mingebag's contraption that he has been working on for an hour to teleport it to some distant corner of the map. (The sun on spacebuild maps is a good place.)

no good the grabber can be set by server vars to only grab your props. Ha your evil plan is foiled

Actually knowing that makes me quite happy. I didn't want that done to me any more than I would be willing to really do it to someone else. Although that does put a crimp into my space station's teleporter.

well the server var is by default lets you grab anything but can then be turned on to only alow owners props.
