Awesome Hands

Description
You shouldn't need to equip arm modes!

I made this because some servers don't implement view models for Dark RP keys or pockets, so with Awesome Hands you can do all these things based on what you're looking at:

  • Dark RP Keys Lock unlocked doors, and unlock locked ones with +attack. Works on vanilla vehicles and simfphys vehicles as well. Works like regular Dark RP keys except it only uses one button. Manage doors/vehicles with +attack2. Includes animations for locking / unlocking.
  • Dark RP Pocket Pick up items with +attack2, if not looking at a valid target, will open your pocket for dropping other items. Includes animations for picking items up and placing them. You can only pocket things that DarkRP is configured to, so adjust that configuration to change which items you can pocket.
  • Shove NPCs / Players If someone's in your way, push them out of the way with +attack.
  • Drag Props / Ragdolls If you're looking at something you can move, you can drag it around with +attack freely without using your physgun.
  • Hand Gestures If you can't do anything, then +attack will allow you to play a random hand animation.
  • Fists By switching modes with +reload you can take out your fists, which work just like your vanilla weapon_fists.

Compatible With
  • Simple Holster & Ladder Auto-Holstering as long as the server operator defined holsterweapon_weapon as weapon_awesome_hands. It will switch back to the last mode you were using.
  • VManip so far, no VManip extensions that I know about interfere with Awesome Hands.
  • Arctic Radial Binds can be used to quickly switch to specific hand modes with the ah_switchhandmode command.
  • ... many more!

To Do
  • Add localization files for other languages.
  • Optimize code and make it extendable by other addons.
  • Remove text prompts and show contextual animation clues.
  • ... you tell me!

Wouldn't Be Possible Without
I learned to put this addon together by mashing together a lot of other things, but still not being able to find something that did what I wanted:
You do not need to install these for Awesome Hands to work, they are just things I used as part of creating this.

The item name to give it to you or add to your DarkRP config is "weapon_awesome_hands". You can find it under the "Other" category as "Awesome Hands" as an admin-only item.

You can also bind hand modes to a key with the concommand ah_switchhandmodes followed by the mode name. These are printed in chat each time you switch modes.
The currently available mode names are: fists and hands

Please do not reupload this or include it in ServerContent, I'm working hard to keep this updated and compatible with other mods. I do not want people to get a bad impression that I can't help fix. I will add localization files soon so that people can use it in French, Russian, etc.

This should still work without Dark RP but keys and pocket features will not function. Map the images were shot on is here. If you host this on your server, post about it here. If you experience any problems post about those here.


Also Try
  • Awesome Hands -- Immersive functional hands for DarkRP and sandbox.
  • Thunder Makes Fire -- Lightning starts fires where it strikes.
  • Lots of Currency -- Fun little collectibles to make things more joyous.
  • Death: Combined Luggage -- Drop all your weapons, ammo, money, and inventory in a convenient carrying case that combines with others to reduce lag.
  • Timely Music -- Play music based on the weather and time of day, compatible with most music addon packs.

Also consider buying my games[entrancejew.itch.io] if you want. No pressure.

goofy ah (see what i did there?:steamlaughcry:)

i think something like this for ttt2 would be cool, like instead of holstered, crowbar, and magneto stick you can like swap between holstered, fists, and like carrying hands in the same item

Thats fine. It was just a silly request.

@Devious Slugcat
I tried to keep non-functional gestures out of the mod due to how animations can't simply be sourced as raw files, they have to be compiled in with the weapon model. This would mean compiling a lot of gestures and making a UI for them, on top of that. If the surrender had a functional gameplay element or there were a way to just run the animation without doing it from the weapon model I would be inclined to revisit it.

If this addon is still being updated it would be nice if some features from the Advanced Hands addon put in this one. Like surrendering and stuff.

@AngelQueFirestar:
It works in sandbox, but pocket features aren't available because those rely on DarkRP's inventory implementation. Door locking should work, but ownership may not.

Sandbox Compatible?

@Bloodaxe:
I believe there should be localization strings in the addon, and it should auto-detect them if a file is present for them -- if you would like to coordinate a proper translation (credited) add me and we can figure that out.
Bloodaxe 4 Feb, 2023 @ 9:03pm 
Yo! Is there a way for us to add our own translations?
