Hey, you can enable the feature if you like. I've coded PD-control to align the bullet.

https://github.com/dvdvideo1234/PropCannonTool/pull/3

Aight thanks!

Ramenya 6 Mar @ 3:41pm

There is nothing wrong with it. The bullet velocity alignemnt is currently experimental. The problem comes form the server still running while the game is paused. Gmod uses the time ( kg * m^2 * degrees / s ) to calculate the applied torque according to the function wiki page:

https://wiki.facepunch.com/gmod/PhysObj:ApplyTorqueCenter

This messes with the output force in the next tick after the game is unfrozen

Please, enter the following in the console: "propcannon_bualgnvelcty 0" to disable the featutre

Does not work

Sure thing buddy :P

@[Sk$Bh]Trick or treat KID! yes

*insert war of the servers music here*

ok

You can use the convar "propcannon_maxfireforce" to define the fire force upper limit. The lower limit will always be zero. Curre tly the upper limit default value is 500k. Adjust it wo whatever you like and reload the control panel

3x the current one would be good if thats possible

How much do you need it:? Keep in mind tat large forces might not work as expected or crash the game...

the max force amount is weak

@Letha 22 hours ago

Implemented, though not every explosion effect supports scale

Hey man, is there any possibility to make the explosion size, like the graphics bigger?

@RedLink1029 7 hours ago

There is no need to arm the bombs in prior. They are automatically armed here as long as you enable the cannon to fire explosives:
https://github.com/dvdvideo1234/PropCannonTool/blob/master/lua/entities/gmod_propcannon/init.lua#L289

When you do not enable the option the script will stick as close as to firing a ordinary phisics object.

Please delete your game workshop cache ( GarrysMod/garrysmod/cache ) and validate the game files

I don't think that worked. I arm the bombs, then copy it using the prop cannon tool, then set prop cannon to fire the bomb i armed, and when I fire it, it bounces a few times (more depending on bomb. missiles dont explode unless shot at by a gun or other explosion) and then explodes, doesn't explode on contact

@RedLink1029 19 hours ago

Fixed. All bullets fired are now armed if arm method is available and the cannon is configured to fire explosives and Right-click copy cannon settings is available. Go nuts!!

To worries.

I was having the same problem with the armed bombs so I asked the author if somehow I can arm these right after I fire one. (E+RightClick) is designed to copy the entity class name ( like "prop_physics" for example ), so it is later used in "ents.Create" when actually making the bullet entity projectile. It does not copy the entire entity in a way you are thinking. For that we already have AdvDupe2 already and it is pointless to implement the same stuff here. If you need the exact cannon same everything, just right click to copy the trace settings and create a new cannon using the new settings. I can also copy the model via right click, but I found that changing the model and calling "bullet:SetModel(model)" on the selected bomb does not update the model as it is probably being hard-coded by the author in the source. I black listed some of the entity types that must be illegal for entity class selection ( like players, NPCs or widgets just like in TA )

Just wanted to let you know what happens when it's used with entities like the bombs from gwarheads. And as an added thought, unless its a mod I know nothing of, when pressing E+Right Click it should copy the entity as it was, like the duplicator tool does, except instead of simply placing it down as an exact copy, it (or rather this cannon) fires it over a distance. Anywho, Love the mod. Keep up the good work :)

Sidenote: If this was also implemented, you would be a godsend!

It works as advertised, but the one thing I wish it did, was copy the state the entity was in (in this case, the bomb is armed and only needs to collide with something to explode) as it is atm, they come out unarmed and require several to be shot so that they can bounce into each other and explode. (the setting you have for "explodes on contact" doesnt work with the entities it, now, fires) The mod works wonders and provides MANY new options with this implementation and I do greatly appreciate the hard work you put into this.

@ RedLink1029 21 hours ago

Implemented... Go nuts ! You can E + Right click copy the trace entitly class and left click to update the prop cannon. This will force it to use different class than the default bullet when it executes the method for firing one single prop. That way you can fire every class you need. Should code it a class filter but have to check which class is ok and which is not. But it will be OK in general

@ RedLink1029 12 hours ago

May I have a link to the bombs addon you are using, so I can implement custom entity firing?

I'm referring to mods like gbombs or gwarheads and using this to launch those armed bombs over long distances (using the physgun is only fun until you throw a bomb short and you die from it and the gravity gun only picks up small entities/objects and doesn't launch them very far to begin with). If this addon can't do this, can you or anyone else direct me in the right direction to where I could find an addon that does this? (Still a good mod tho, just not what I need)

@RedLink1029 12 hours ago

You can always chane the model to something else. Just use your artilery model and done. Do you need to shoot props different than "cannon_prop"

This addon is fun, just wish it could fire entities, having a cannon for mods that add artillery shells or bombs like gwarheads or hbombs offers would be extremely helpful in making my own artillery cannons.

You do realize he is not the real Gabe right :P

@Gabe Newell
Wait i've seen you 15 minutes ago LOL

cool

@dalekcyberboy 17 hours ago

Yes. It does. The wire port values are taken with priority to the numpad, so if you turn it on by wire, you cannot turn it of with numpad.

does this work with wire mod

@JAWLINE

Fixed in the last update. You can go ahead and try how it handles now.

@JAWLINE 46 minutes ago

Just make a new issue in the repository. Github will allow you to attach images.

https://github.com/dvdvideo1234/PropCannonTool/issues

yeah sure i took a few how can i send them to you?

@JAWLINE 15 hours ago

May I have a screenshot of how you weld it and to what ?

every time i weld it to a surface the prop wont fire properly and it detonates right away. any suggestions why or how i can fix it?

great

@LMSFan11 8 hours ago

Sure yiu can. The prop cannon is just a scripted phyiscs entity lake any other 😊

can you mount the cannon on entities props ragdolls animated props etc?

Wire controlled aim direction has been added.

I am currently increasing cannon's wire inputs to override internals when connected

A new major update has arrived!
https://github.com/dvdvideo1234/PropCannonTool/commit/803be88dcc60eeacb49bea876062dd83ea2997ff

The bug where more projectiles are fired and caused the game to crash for some people is now fixed:

https://github.com/dvdvideo1234/PropCannonTool/commit/421a19b8fc2f06fa9dd8982b36f20d19103eda6d#r39283856

Prop Cannon Tool только выпустил появился взрыв игра вылетела урод я отписываюс

wow cool! thanks a whole bunch

Just change the convar like so:
propcannon_ammo_model <The_name_of_your_new_model_here>

do you happen to know of any way to load in custom ammo? that would be extraordinarily helpful. thanks in advance! etc etc

This happens very rearly.. Gotta look in to it when I have time to spare.

Every time I press the button (I set it to Numpad 0) to fire, the game freezes and crashes...

Well it happens. In what case it is creating the error. What error does it output ?

Твой скажу аддон конфликтует урод Is creating script error console много взрывал игра вылет
