Good idea but I have some problems with it:
1. This does not play along with black backdrounds. Please fix it as the text is unreadable. I do not think you should manually apply color to the text. cPanel:NumSlider(...) will do just fine
2. Tried to weld 4 washing machines together. When OBB intersects a noctraint is made otherwise not. Why I cannot weld props that are far apart ?

smart weld but 400 million times better

Wow, this is really useful! I like to make big space crafts that need to move a lot, and I hate wobbling, so I tried smart weld at first, but that didn't work, I found this and i felt like it was designed for me! Thank you man!
Benevolence 5 Nov, 2022 @ 10:12am 
Also you would need an "NPC Spawner" for that method.
Benevolence 5 Nov, 2022 @ 10:10am 
From what I learned is that "you need to have Keep Corpses on to weld npcs.

Way better than smart weld! (which corrupted my old dupe i was trying to weld) thx so much for the amazing tool!

Can you weld combine mines?
Mihacappy 27 Apr, 2022 @ 7:39am 
Now i can make buils that don't go saggy because of the og weld tool

thanks!!
Outlaw 10 Feb, 2022 @ 12:34am 
best tool ever made, thank you very much
ITSMRFOXY 26 Jan, 2022 @ 6:06am 
i see. there's a script that allows you to weld certain npcs to props in gmod, but it seems there are no weld tools that use it yet, so i generally just enter it manually, since i have no idea how to make a weld tool that would run it.
ubre  [author] 9 Jan, 2022 @ 2:38am 
You cannot weld NPC in Garry'sMod.
ITSMRFOXY 8 Jan, 2022 @ 7:57am 
can you weld NPCs to props with it?
Jane 11 Mar, 2021 @ 3:49pm 
if(istable(FPP)) then

if(!Ent:CPPICanTool(Ply)) then return end

end

Quality bruh moment here. Not everyone uses FPP. I believe "if CPPI then" does the job correctly.
eternity 16 Feb, 2021 @ 4:27am 
This targets plays too which, can we disallow this to target players?
TodTheGod 14 Feb, 2021 @ 10:40pm 
++++++++REP GREAT TOOL

Forgive my stupidity just had to sale up the AABB greater than the default the slider collided.
@Pump Daddy C, maybe this is your issue as well?


Maybe increase the sliders max to 10 or so to avoid confusion for future users?
This tool works insanely great for ACF building.
TodTheGod 14 Feb, 2021 @ 10:34pm 
If a constraint such as a rope is already connected the weld will not create the new weld for the two desired props
AltCtrlDel435 3 Dec, 2020 @ 1:56pm 
Awesome tool. Just built a space ship using it and had I used regular welds, it would have had lots of play between components.

Hello, I have added Halos slider if your computer sucks and lags when rendering them. Took me a year.
Nakkitsunami 5 Apr, 2020 @ 4:17am 
but good addon tho
Nakkitsunami 5 Apr, 2020 @ 4:17am 
some times it doesn't weld can anyone help?
Spar 10 Feb, 2020 @ 5:08am 
I saw your comment about halos, check out outline library PR in garrysmod github, you can probably take a simple piece of that code
Alexs The Cat 9 Jan, 2020 @ 2:43pm 
thx THIS TOOL IS PERFECT FOR ME !!
Fancy_Force 13 Dec, 2019 @ 2:29am 
this looks awesome!
ubre  [author] 27 Apr, 2019 @ 3:50am 
I found the problem, halos being drawn are heavy on people with no GPU or really old ones. Later on I'll add a customization for the halo as well. For now get better GPUs
Hhiq 27 Apr, 2019 @ 2:36am 
my framerate drops to 8fps when i select a prop...
matthew211 13 Apr, 2019 @ 2:37pm 
This is gonna be helpful for my tornado survival videos
ubre  [author] 12 Apr, 2019 @ 7:06am 
Depends how far the 2 entities are to eachother, they weld only when a copy of their hitbox made bigger intersects. Look at the last part of the video to see that some don't weld to each other when using Improved because their hitbox aren't close. Not using the improved version uses the entity's AABB which is a cube that always faces the same direction that covers the entire entity, meaning that a thin entity can have a big AABB when rotated 45°
Sanders 11 Apr, 2019 @ 10:53pm 
ok so if the "improved box is checked it wont make welds :(
Sanders 11 Apr, 2019 @ 10:51pm 
this doesnt seem to work it tells me primary to select and secondary to apply yet it never makes the constraints why?
tax evasion man 7 Apr, 2019 @ 1:51am 
Thanks!
ubre  [author] 6 Apr, 2019 @ 4:09pm 
The name of the map is Harbor2Ocean_NavalB1

I updated the tool, hopefully it doesn't lag anymore.
tax evasion man 4 Apr, 2019 @ 9:43am 
Name of the map in the pictures?
BGmoder 3 Apr, 2019 @ 7:32am 
@ubre,no, everything is fine with me, I asked those who have something stators or lags, i have gtx1050ti + Xeon E3-1271v3, 16gb DDR3 1600Mhz and have 60fps with Vsync small freez when apply selected objects and drop to 57 frames.
Lupin III 2 Apr, 2019 @ 1:45pm 
Add a radial area selection function similar to the Advanced Duplicator 2 or SmartWeld.
Using this tool gets frustrating sometimes when manually selecting several props with the cursor.
ubre  [author] 2 Apr, 2019 @ 11:31am 
1060 3GB and i5 6500 with 8GB 2133MHz, never noticed any drop
BGmoder 2 Apr, 2019 @ 12:14am 
Hmm.. pc specs?
ubre  [author] 2 Apr, 2019 @ 12:04am 
I never had a problem but I can't mark off everyone saying that it lags as their own. I'll take a look at it when I'm back.
DollarOnTheLeft 1 Apr, 2019 @ 4:57pm 
I second Salty's issue, I get the same problem, Ubre my dude is there a solution to this issue?
Saltybuilds 1 Apr, 2019 @ 4:14pm 
I've used the tool in single player and found that it causes my game to slow to a crawl, this is also present in multi-player, so far I have not been able to find a solution on my own. Are there any suggestions as to what might be wrong?
