A vehicle damage mod that allows damaged vehicles to explode, made from scratch but partially inspired by SonofBrim's script (Here[facepunch.com])

At 1/3 health, vehicles will begin to smoke. At 1/4 health, they will catch fire. By default, vehicles have HP assigned based on their weight. Heavy vehicles have more health on spawning. This means that trucks and tanks have more health than airport baggage handlers. The default HP can be altered to change the amount that vehicles recieve.
Vehicles have a damage threshold, and any damage that is less than this will be completely absorbed by armor and do nothing. By default, this is 5, but it can be increased by using items - these will also increase the vehicle's resistance to damage. When a vehicle is destroyed, it will be unenterable and catch fire. After 1-10 seconds, it will explode, leaving behind a wreck. After a little longer, the wreck will remove itself.


- Will this work with (X) vehicle?: Chances are, yes, unless the vehicle uses some weird custom Lua base. Obviously this will not work with dupes or prop vehicles. However, certain vehicles may not work at all with the base due to causing crashes. Notably, any vehicle that seems to have multiple physics parts, such as Sligwolf's X12. I am working on a fix that will allow explosives to damage them in select circumstances.
- Where do I spawn everything in?: My entities can be found under the tab "Arctic's Vehicle Damage". The pack does not include vehicles, you'll have to get a pack.
- What vehicles are you using?: Doc's drivable CS:S vehicles.
- When I take damage in a car, the health doesn't decrease.: This seems to be a problem with Garrysmod. Play in a Listen server (Select 2 players when you choose a map) for now, as the problem doesn't exist in multiplayer. No, I don't think I can fix it. Sorry.
- How do I use the horn?: Press "R".
