Dragonred's Carry & Mount

Huge thanks to Chara for helping me test this, part of the reason of why i don't publish Many of the stuff i code is because i don't have another player to test them with, but thanks to her i was able to test this one properly.

This Addon allows players to be able to Carry & Mount other Players and NPCs, giving them the possibility to throw or lay a player down somewhere or mount on them and enjoy the view while they accompany them on top of them. I added a lot of variables and extra functions i could think of for this.

---

the addon has a built-in collision protection that starts to npc/players after they leave the carry or mount, i coded this to avoid players getting stuck inside other players/npcs

Players have a special Personal Settings tab found in Utilities/Dragonred's Carry/Mount/Personal Settings, There the Local Player can change settings such as:

• Allow/Disallow Players to be able to Carry you
  
• Allow/Disallow Players to be able to Mount you
  
• Set/Unset that Only Players in your White-List are able to Carry you
  
• Set/Unset that Only Players in your White-List are able to Mount you
  
• Change all Client-side Variables through here ( Camera modes and the Mount Counter )
  
• A Button that will make you try to grab the Player/NPC in front of you
  
• A Button to Dismount the Current Mount or Mount the Player/NPC infront of you
  
• A Button to Dismount all Players that are Currently Mounting you
  
• A Button that makes you try to escape from someone while being Carried
  
• A Button that allows you to Manage the White-List ( More details below. )

---

If you want only certain players to be able to Carry/Mount you, the White-List is for you, in it you can add and remove players from your White-List or completely clean it.

The White-List can be managed by clicking the last button availible in the Personal Settings tab or by using the dragon_managecnmwl console command.

---

All Clientside Settings are saved, the Convars using the classic gmod-client-cvar storaging, but some of the other options ( such as the White-List which is a data-table ) are saved in the Game's Local files, updating the Player's Setting to any server they join.

---

Here is some more detailed information about the addon:


When Carrying Another Player or an NPC, You'll be able to:

• Move the Player/NPC around with you ( Obvious ).
  
• Throw the Player/NPC by Holding Left Click ( The force will depend on how much you charged the throw )
  
• (PLAYERS ONLY)Lay the Player down anywhere as long as the place is suitable with the TraceHull ( It Spawns an invisible non-collidable pod and lays the player in it, if layed down on a Entity the Pod will be parented to said Entity. The Pod is Removed if the Player leaves it or if the Parented Entity gets removed. )
  
• (NPCS ONLY)The NPC will drop their gun on the ground if they have one, their behaviour will not execute while being carried ( this means they won't be invisibly attacking other people. )

While being Carried or while Mounting someone you'll be able to change between 3 camera modes, Those Include:

• Third Person camera focused on the carrier/mount
  
• Third Person camera focused on your model
  
• First Person camera that automatically adjusts your height while mounting/position while being carried.

you can either use the "Un-Carry yourself from someone" Button in the Personal Settings tab, say /d_uncarry or use the dragon_uncarry console command to free yourself.

(Warning:) If the Server has the Convar d_carrymount_allowplayerstouncarryself set to 0 you won't be able to use any of these options above to save yourself.

You can also set yourself free by using the kill command.

I've been struggling really hard with money these days, specially because where i live the minimum wage is literally about $190 per month..so even 1 dollar could help me a lot with paying the bills and also motivate me to make more addons, i've been thinking about making a PVE Coop boss-fighting gamemode in gmod with a class and achievement system and make my own Nextbots to be the bosses but couldn't find the time or inspiration to make it..

if you have more than enough money and feel like sharing it to help me i'd be really really grateful, a dollar helps a lot:
