Zero G E2

[grandpapolly]

No, but I mean, when I spawn that E2 code, and spawn props around it, nothing happens xD

Physics in gmod does not correlate with physics in real life - that will only slow its fall down. You can use deltas and stuff to make it stay at a set height though...

Wrong. Aside from it's constant values and negligible forces (ie the universal law of gravitation is condensed to F = mg), gmod uses Newtonian physics.
The code posted would actually cause the targeted entity to rise as that constant is wrong.

Use a target finder to find the entity then wire the E input of this expression to the target finder entity output.

@name Anti grav
@inputs E:entity
@outputs
@persist
@trigger all
runOnTick(1)
E:applyForce(vec(0, 0, 9.105) * E:mass())

Thank you Nicolai. Yet, I already knew this xD

I will give you an example.

I/E:

I make a big box. Inside of this box, I have an E2 chip. This E2 chip makes it so that everything inside of the box has no gravity. Is this possible? (Maybe not players, only props have no gravity in the box)

Yeah that's definitely possible, you will need a separate applyforce() function for each entity though, and its up to you to work out how to use entity discovery to find the objects though, use the wiki.

Thank you Tolyzor. But could I use this code for multiple entities?

@name Anti grav
@inputs E:entity
@outputs
@persist
@trigger all
runOnTick(1)
E:applyForce(vec(0, 0, 9.105) * E:mass())

But thank you. This is really useful



EDIT!!!!::::

Nvm, I just did:

@name Anti grav
@inputs A:entity B:entity C:entity D:entity E:entity 
@outputs
@persist
@trigger all
runOnTick(1)
A:applyForce(vec(0, 0, 9.105) * A:mass())

B:applyForce(vec(0, 0, 9.105) * B:mass())

C:applyForce(vec(0, 0, 9.105) * C:mass())

D:applyForce(vec(0, 0, 9.105) * D:mass())

E:applyForce(vec(0, 0, 9.105) * E:mass())

No, that code only makes the entity connected to an entity marker connected to the E:vector "float"(sorry if you can't understand me, it's 02:20 AM :lol

EDIT: That code would hold up to five entities. There is a "god chair" which could with the press of a button make everything in a radius of 1000 units weightless. You could examine that code...

[grandpapolly]

Look at above post (New code I made)





EDIT!!!:::

But actually, I have one more thing.

Is it possible for this to work on people? I/E make E:entity = a player? If so, would it be something like this?:

@persist Player:entity

Player = findPlayerByName("Someone")
Player:applyForce(vec(0, 0, 9.105) * Player:mass())

[Zanik]

Iirc you cant use applyForce on players :/

[Tolyzor]

...or other peoples props. Correct.

[grandpapolly]

So...no you can't make players float. Lol. Oh well. Thank you though. It has been fun times....tee hee hee...

[SuperLlama]

there is a player weld tool somewhere that allows you to weld an object to yourself, then you could applyforce on that and make a jet pack

[mjmr89]

I doubt that would work, Llama. And for future reference, bumping old topics is bad juju.

But since it has been bumped, Tolyzor, I'm sorry, but NO. That code does NOT work. If you tried it you would know that. F=ma *DOES NOT WORK IN GMOD*. Many have said it does and provided code that would be correct if F=ma was indeed true in gmod. None, in my experience at least, have ever worked. I truly want someone to prove me wrong on this, because if you could use applyForce to negate gravity, that would be freakin AWESOME, but alas, it just doesn't work.
