Should work in any gamemode based on the "base" one


The story so far

One Podolsk metallurgical plant once stamped a huge batch of bolts. True, those were defective: they had no thread, but according to the documentation, it should have been. But since the extra money spent by the customer on a batch of bolts had already been stolen, the bolts were legally correct - only they could not be delivered in any way; in order to avoid a fine, the factory simply transported all the bolts from one fake delivery service to another in huge boxes.

When an anomalous zone formed in Podolsk, a truck with bolts hit an anomaly in a rather crowded and populated place; since then, bolts have spread throughout the Zone as a very effective method of detecting anomalies as well as a heavy iron object.



Weapon purpose

Some time ago I found out that there are no addons that contain only a bolt. or i just couldn't be bothered enough to find one. So, I've decided to make one.

Using some fun a model was created and the SWEP code the next day. To be honest, I was going to make this model have some carving, but I didn't and i still don't know how to make a texture like that.

While I was making the SWEP I've accidentally made the unholy monstrosity that is the anomalous bolt that would be thrown really fast and had a lot of mass. This was fixed, but i liked the idea so I've replicated this behaviour in a second weapon.

There's no viewmodel so you hold a can of bolts.
thanks to V92 there is a viewmodel now!



Known issues:

  • If you drop the weapon, the metal material used on the can of bolts will stay. fixed

    no known bugs i guess?




This addon was made thanks to:
  • Me
  • Manul
  • V92 for the view and world models from here (thanks again, that was unexpected)

yeah no i'm not making that, it'd require me to make a separate projectile entity (the anomalous bolt's damage works only because of physics :P)

Darkness  [author] 14 Nov, 2023 @ 4:10am 
so yeah, it's basically a window breaker
Darkness  [author] 14 Nov, 2023 @ 4:09am 
it shouldn't even deal damage at all, it's not supposed to
