yooooo cool

oh right shit this exists

this exists?

oh right shit this exists

will this ever be finished

oh right shit this exists

so you gonna actually update this orrr?

very handy with vanilla hl2 props as model center´s are all over the place (i.e. Bathtub), since you can just adjust them visually you dont have to calculate how to center them afterwards

you gotta choose a certain prop as a proper base for physics and collision, otherwise all your positioning was pointless

indeed, you can slap together a car of yours, save it and then open the txt file for the car
there you got all positions and values

oh yeah that shit stores coordinates doesn't it

@Drunkchey
outdated but I finally figured something out
PAC3 poses greatly as an editor for attachments
granted, still gotta copypaste positions and angles over but overall a much smoother and less tedious way to build crap like this

hehehe FAG!

i might if i ever figure out how to do things like that.

that's probably very possible, but I dont particularly have the *programming wisdom* to do such a thing, and I'm not sure if I ever will

yeah thats indeed fairly tedious. though with the way its done its possible to make an editor i think.
also thanks for pointing out simfphys.com im gonna have some fun with that.

You have to write it in the cars' script by yourself. Honestly tedious work when you add like 50-100 attrachments, but I think the work pays out well

interesting, can you make those visual attachments in game or do you have to do it in the modding tools/scripts/files/whatever the fuck it uses for simfphys?

And literally every prop apart from the baseplate and the wheels is a simfphys attachment.

well simfphys attachments only act as a visual attachment, they dont have any collision or physics themselves, they're just there to look pretty.
Hence why the e420 sinks into the ground when you flip it over.

it depends on how you rig it to said baseplate. if you just weld it that object too has physics.

its not like I'm exactly against the idea of a baseplate, that'd be like 5 minutes of work honestly. I just dont quite get what you need it for. You can literally take this exact box of speed, delete the attachments from the script and you already end up with something extremely similar.
btw I wouldnt mind if any of you did that, mine are partly not original either

even when only one of them has actual physics?

thats actually not a terrible idea, just get the baseplate and rig some wheels to it.
of course the source engine will despise the fact you are trying to build a car that isnt 1 big model.
but still

a 4x6 baseplate will do perfect so we can make car's

yeah

as in make a kind of suspension base on which you can put your own attachments to?

Can you make a base so we can make our own car shells onto the base please

its interesting as its made out of props entirely

This is Ingenious.

OUTSTANDING ENGINEERING SIR

it's alright, I didn't use those cars, thanks anyway

@vanman john I see error in youre chat (first screenshot). You need delete this addon and error messages not showing again
