Contraption stability tutorial

cadde · 12-10-2007

Hello and welcome to my first ever GMod / Wire tutorial!

I am making this tutorial to show you guys how to use the power of the weight stool and how to implement this in your wired contraptions for better functionality. (And stability!)

THAT IS ALL FOLKS FOR THIS TIME!

I might make a fraps recording at some point, that would also take me LESS time!
Enjoy your Weight STool!

EDIT: For some strange reason, everything i put down in this tut went POOF.
Probably because of the move to vBulletin...
I hope i can get it resurrected somehow.

Really useful!

Very good explanation for those who don't know how a physics engine (sort of) works, although i'd imagine most of the pro builders would know this already, but then again, this tut isn't for them...

That was very useful about the hydraulics - maybe now my 8-storey elevator will work in my big PHX earthquake building without spazzing out!

This is a very good and in depth tutorial. Great job and keep up the great work.

I saw this while searching for something else and found it VERY useful.
I think this should be stickied or something, I really needed this.

i was wondering if this could be used for other things. such as more weight then add a slider then reduce weight. <- will this stop the slider from spazzing?
other that the hydrolics weight "hack" i pritty much knew all that :P

There is no speed limit for things rotating, the reason for this is that the players has to rotate to aim a gun.

I have no clue, i just came back here to check on the progress of wire.
And then i remembered my only personal contribution and wanted to see what i made...

It's gone...

Oh well, it might have something to do with the move to vBulletin.
Too bad...
