the Gmod Conflict Or Minor Battle Action Toolkit
or, GCOMBAT for short.

OH MAY GOWD THERE IS A CUSTEM FOREM? WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME

WAT THE FAK THERE ARE BETAS TOO


Here's an example:

local attack = cbt_dealdevhit( entity, damage, pierce )
if (attack == 0) then 
 --Fail code goes here
elseif (attack == 1) then
 --Succeed code goes here
elseif (attack == 2) then
 --Code to execute if the prop is broken by the attack goes here
end

note that with cbt_dealdevhit, the prop won't be removed, as the whole point of it is to add your own removal code if 2 is returned, as well as your own effects.

Here's an applied example, taken from my tank shell. it creates a dud round on a failure:

local attack = cbt_dealhcghit( data.HitEntity, 200, 7, self.Entity:GetPos() , self.Entity:GetPos())
		if (attack == 0) then
			 brokedshell = ents.Create("prop_physics")
				brokedshell:SetPos(self.Entity:GetPos())
				brokedshell:SetAngles(self.Entity:GetAngles())
				brokedshell:SetKeyValue( "model", "models/props_junk/garbage_plasticbottle003a.mdl" )
				brokedshell:PhysicsInit( SOLID_VPHYSICS )
				brokedshell:SetMoveType( MOVETYPE_VPHYSICS )
				brokedshell:SetSolid( SOLID_VPHYSICS )
				brokedshell:Activate()
				brokedshell:Spawn()
				brokedshell:Fire("Kill", "", 20)
				brokedshell:SetColor(0,0,0,255)
				local phys = brokedshell:GetPhysicsObject()  	
				if (phys:IsValid()) then  
					phys:SetVelocity( self.Entity:GetPhysicsObject():GetVelocity())
				end
		end

Media (old):
This is a relatively new project, and I won't have a lot of time to take pictures or movies of it in action. I encourage you to post some videos and pictures in this thread. the cream of the crop may get posted here.

StickyNade's AS/V-3 "Rover", with AS/V2 "Beanie Bus" visible in the background.


The "Beanie bus" bombarding some poor bugger.


Another by StickyNade: what looks like a successful AP round hit.


This is what nebelwerfer barrages look like (again, StickyNade):

What does this do?

What he said.

It's a system that allows strategy-game style damage to be dealt to prop_physics entities, including armor breaking and such. maybe i should have been more clear. Ahem:
A damage system for RTS style damage to be dealt to contraptions by weapons that use the damage framework

So this is a base for development as of right now?

Yes. it's more important to me that something in the spirit of wooden wars gets revived than that I have exclusive rights to this system.

Credits would certainly be appreciated though.

Could turn out awesome. Let's see some people start using this.

If anyone's interested, I've made a mortar that uses this for Fehic's mortar SENT. it's on his thread.

So what's the difference between this and Conna's Breakable stool?

Conna's breakable stool makes props breakable to everything. as anyone who's played wooden wars on GMOD 10 will tell you, Having everything breakable to everything is not necessarily a good thing, as any mingebag with a rocket launcher may come along and blow all your stuff up. This makes EVERY prop_physics breakable, but only to weapons that incorporate this mod. In addition, there is an armor system so now you can actually make a nice heavy tank that can't be scratched by smaller weapons. Also, the health values are all handled by an object, so this won't conflict with anything that I've tested it with, including conna's Stool. Izzat enough difference?

This is lovely. To make it even better you should have a damage system toggle button in the options menu.

Just clicked the tidied up link. FILE NOT FOUND?

Wow. I just tried this. The tidied up link works, purplerman.

Anyway, Q42, this is SO cool. Finally no more 'invincible ships'. Anyway, a point of concern though. You provided a few entities, such as the tank shell. How would you make something fire them though? And, what code would a regular swep need to do this?

Thanks!
-Metroid48

Those are from a pack of wired weapons I'm working on, so they work very very poorly on their own. they're in there as examples, but all you need to do is use

ent.SetAngles(Angle(<pitch>,<yaw>,<roll>))

when you spawn it.

Oh wow, I was stupid enough to come into the topic thinking "Finally, someone realized nerves are living things in the human body", but no, I was wrong yet again... :(...

You confuse me

Wait what?

VERY useful for the fortwars thing I do on my server every once in awhile using my little team lua script thingy. Thanks a bunch, but is there a way to make RPG Damage affect it? Since there's 'class' in my mode that lets gives you an RPG.

Robbis_1 made a thing that shoots down RPGs, if it worked for this you could have a LAMS!

Oh my god, tell in the FIRST POST what the hell this is!! You didn't even mention it!

I agree, even though I understand this, you might want to include some examples to explain to people how the code works.

Edit:

reading is fun!

PLEASE do. :D

would someone be able to give me a tutorial on how to link it up and make it fire, because i really want a tank with a Nebelwerfer :(

Latest version of wiremod, and the latest version of resource distribution are needed for the nebelwerfer. spawn a munition crate and a nebelwerfer, and link the two together using the resource link STOOL in resource distribution.

Once you have your linked masterpiece, wire it up. set up your wiremod input stuff, and wire it to the correct input. the only one with two inputs so far is the tank cannon, since it has two types of ammo.

First you need wire mod and life support. Spawn your Nebelwerfer and a munitions crate. Link them both up using the life support link tool. Now spawn a wired input, from the wired stools, and set it to the numpad key that you want. Finally, with the wire tool, shoot the Nebelwarfer (it should say fire on it) then the wired input.

There you go, that should be it, you can now put this wherever you want, as long as you don't move the munitions crate to far away from the Nebelwarfer. Remember to protect the crate tough, it can explode if shot.

Edit: You beat me... With a better tutorial :(

so, what does this do? Make contraptions break, or what?

If anyone's interested, I just converted the egons, mortars, cannon stool, launcher stool, tau cannon, plasma rifle, and drop pod to work with this. I'm thinking of releasing an over-all pack.

reading is still fun!

Edit:

Go for it. get appropriate permission first though.

thanks for the tutorials guys. i found out how to do it for all of them too, including making it fire with the numpad. thanks for the help.

Some images have been uploaded, courtesy of StickyNade! if you don't think reading is fun, all should be clear now!

Hey, does anyone know what map that is? It looks cool.

gm_hillygrass.

Also Beanie Bus :3

Beaine bus :D, and woo I got first post on the second page ^.^

Edit:

All you need now Q42 is some buildingish sized prop that uses energy to make more munitions, cause I hate having to spawn like 50 million crates lol.

Yeah I would like a way to make new munition. This is very fun I can't wait for more weapons

How do we get the weapons to fire?

Wiremod. inputs. page 1.

What the hell would you ever need that many crates for? in all my tests, by the time you had to replace the crates your tank/boat is shot to shit anyways, and could stand to be repaired.

I was using hyperbole for effect lol, I use alot of Nwerfers, using them in batteries eats through ammo like no other. :\

Sure. I'll buy that.

[spoiler]no worries, v2 will have resource collection [/spoiler]

Thanks :D, did you see the new mineral collection on Shans server? It's pretty cool thus far, but it's kind buggy still.

Well making a simple ammunition generator is simple enough. Find the line in one of the life support entities that generate, uh, life support stuff, and add that same line but munitions underneath (Or replace the first line, whichever floats your boat.

Awesome. we need mroe models though.
Hey , Q42 , Would you mind making an AP Machine gun -
It can kill people (5 shots)
and takes about 10 shots to break it from its constrainted object.
It fires quickly - 2 BPS

Anyone gunna host a 2 teamed (4 a side) Server?
I would if my stupid router wasn't in loopback mode...
Anyway , if anyone does , Please shout out.

Quick update: I'm taking an art course at the moment, so I won't have time to do any LUA until the weekend. The good news is, I've got a projected release date for V2: Sunday after next. This may seem like a long time, but remember that V2 will have all the allied and German weapons I will be adding, as well as resource collection, custom models for everything, and a sneak preview of the sci-fi shi-- stuff

As soon as V2 is released, a contest will be started in the contraption section, and a promotional game may be hosted on my brother's epic computer from the depths of hell, if I can convince him to step outside for a bit, maybe get some direct sunlight

Keep on blowin' shit up until then!

I made a different version of the Fusion Generator that took energy instead of coolant, and made Munitions. It's really fucking easy

It's easy, certainly, but I'm trying to restrict the resource flow to prevent a Mingefest from arising. Still debating whether or not to have the resource collection manually loaded. what do you guys think?

Define manually loaded...

Edit:

I think it should out put either to a crate that has to be moved into place or it should output to a crate that you have to link other crates to to refil. I like the outputing a whole 4000 crate better though. Looks cooler. :D

Basically, what I have for munitions is as follows: it spawns a crate that can be loaded into a bin, which deletes it and restocks your munitions.

When the Sci-fi stuff gets introduced, I'm going to add another resource: Fuel, which will be restocked by harvesting spice. everybody else is getting stuff from command and conquer, so I figured I'd do dune. Spice harvesting would require no manual loading: critters reside in spice.

Yeah, do you have the impact effect? I'm not sure if I gave that to you when I gave you the sci-fi killy thing. It's supposed to be a huge cloud of dust (aka HE explosion minus the fire)

I think I do. even if I don't, it's just the huge_splosion effect without fire, amirite?

The spice must flow...

I have an image macro in my... Museum, of a cat rolled in a tan carpet up to its ears, looking like a large tan worm.
The text reads

Awesome. :D

urrite.

I like this, I like it a lot.
I just made a behemoth of a tank, with flat armor though, out of Phoenix props.
Then, I mounted on it two HE only tank cannons and four AP only cannons, along with two nebelwerfers on the roof. After trying it out on various zombies and props, I took about 20 minutes and dismantled it slowly with four AP cannons. The system for bouncing shells is neat, one barrage would bounce of the behemoth's armor, the next would blast into its innards, and the one after that would cause MASSIVE (structural) DAMAGE.

Pics! Vids! come on, people!

Updates Updates! Come on , people!
This is awesome!
#1!
Also - Could you make a STool for it?

Parodying Q42 amirite?

Also can't post videos because I fail at source recorder.

Also updates come next Sunday. Or whenever he said. He said it somewhere.

Waah! I can't Wait!

@ Stickynade - Yes , I was.

One Shot.

I suppose I could make a video... Not saying I'll have anything great in it, but a decent demonstration I suppose.
Give me some time, I'll whip out my duplicator and use my AT gun and Box tank o' death and set up an ambush video.

FIGURED OUT WHAT WAS MAKING MY LAZORS CRASH! you have no Idea how happy I am.

Weapons will be added in v2 will be flak 88, 2 pdr artillery, battleship gun, Schwerer gustav, laser cannon, and StickyNade's railgun.

Weapons which may not make it to the v2 release date are V1 launch pad, wurfrahmen 40, land matress, hedgehog, and MG 42.

Other stuff that will be added: Signal flare (to call supply drops), Resupply box, depository, and munition plant.

Holy crap, that sounds absolutely awesome, regardless of what won't make it in the next release! I'm excited about the battleship gun and flak 88, especially. The rail gun is cool, too...
The upload is a little over halfway done. The vid's nothing special, but it's a basic demonstration.
After I post it, give it awhile to process because of YouTube.

Video's processing, give it time, but here's the link. I'll use media tags once it's done processing. (Please note that Sourcerecorder DID NOT record the actual GCombat props themselves, but they are there.)
Also, it's kind of dark, sorry about that. You'll notice in the vid one shot, I think, bounces. (For the record, the tank was armed with dual Nebelwerfers, two tank cannons dedicated to HE anti-infantry fire, and four cannons dedicated to AP rounds only. The AT gun was rigged so as to only fire its dual guns in AP mode, although it'd be easy for it to use HE rounds against infantry.)

Thanks! I'll add it to the first post, if that's alright.

I love you. How long till V2? And anything I can do to help you out, lemme know.

Cool, thanks. The caption rocks...
"A video of Carnotite ambushing himself in the woods."
:excited:

Make a video on how to make the tank gun to work.

Use the resource distribution tool to link a tank gun to a munitions crate. Use Wiremod wires to connect it to a button, and voila, it fires.

Whats a distribution tool?

He means the link tool, it is with Resource Distribution/Life Support. Get them.

This is looking to be epic, I just installed it on my server. We should get some cool spacebuild games with this.

Hey how do you make a server. Can I add you to my frineds list on steam?Oh yeah thanks.

Too bad tank cannons still arc in space. Nebelwerfers look fine though.

Also Railgun isn't anything terribly special, just a tank cannon with a near straight arc (So it's usable in spacebuild) and a cool yellow beam trail and a new impact effect. It fires somewhat faster, deals more damage, though takes 400 munitions per shot. Make a cannon configured to fire two of those puppies and I dare say you've got yourself one big ass resource hog.

Also supply drops = epic.

Then what do I do?

Don't forget: schwerer gustav. also epic.

Still stuck. Here http://img475.imageshack.us/my.php?i...ass0000gg7.jpg. What do I do next?

My Munitions Crates don't seem to be spawning. They simply don't appear when I double click. Everything else spawns fine and so do all my other SENTs.

That's really, REALLY odd. you do have the most recent resource distribution? are there console errors?

Still stuck. Here http://img475.imageshack.us/my.php?i...ass0000gg7.jpg. What do I do next? Sorry the link not working look above the this quote /\

This ought to help:

:loleyes:

Edit:

Use the wire tool! everything will become apparent.

Thanks man its awesome! Here is mine http://img163.imageshack.us/my.php?i...ass0000ih4.jpg. Not bad for a beginner. I used hoverball because my wheels thing always goes back to propeller wheel. Can someone tell me why that is happening?

Gotta shield those crates, dude. somebody's gonna walk up with a nine-mil and OWN you.

Ok. Thanks for the information. Oh yeah do you know why my wheels tool always go to propeller wheel?
