Editing Adv Dup Text FIle

[Xechorizo]

Hiyo! I have an advanced duped project where all I want to do is change the thickness of a duped Wired Hydraulic cable. I can see:

115:"gmod_wire_hydraulic"
184:"WireHydraulic"

along the lines, but the rest just appears illegible to me. Anyone able to point me in the right direction? I really don't want to have to get all the way in there just to rebuild a silly hydraulic.

Not easy at all, paste your file and i'll try to help. Also what you mean thickness ? What is the exact option name you want to change?

I want to change the thickness of the Wire Hydraulic rope. There is only one in the whole file. And yes, I know my expression gate is very wordy and probably broken in a few spots, so feel free to tip on that also

EDIT: Codebox isn't working the way I thought it might? So here's an upload

Looks like what you are looking for is between the Save and Dict lines before the numbers start
the identifiers are in hex, and I really don't know what they relate to, they could be entity numbers(so that the hydraulic would have a specific number there) or they could be used to describe where everything is in relation to everything else.
Perhaps a save with a hydraulic attached to a single thing, or attached to two things (like 2 1x1 phx panels) might make determining which one relates to the hydraulic easier.

Spawn it, use the remover on the hydraulic (assuming it's a wiremod hydraulic), replace the hydraulic with the new width, re-wire as needed, and save it. Fin.

If you want to change the width of it, i believe it's 41:"width".

So, look in the line "Constraint", and search for 41, you'll find 41=N:3, where 3 is the width. So change 3 to whatever you want

Oh..wait...i think i'm wrong but try it still

Make an adv dup of a hydraulic on it's own, and that will leave you with only hydraulic code. Make a note of what you set the hydraulic to ingame, then look for that value in your new adv dup file, and look for that syntax in the original file. If you understood that, of course

[Xechorizo]

Ah, yes. All marvellous ideas. Thanks, folks! I know I COULD replace the hydraulic, which was my first attempt, but it's in a hard-to-reach location.

You were totally right... Thanks!!

Oh, well np
