This was originally made for GMod 9 by KuroNeko so credit of idea goes to him. I have recreated it for GMod 10. Also some credit goes to Joel_Yeah for starting it off.

M-way is a scripted entity that multiplies until it hits something.

This video can explain it further.

Changes colour depending on state.
Press use to expand/retract.
Wire inputs/outputs are included by not required.
Inputs: Toggle, Expand, Retract
Outputs: Expanded, Retracted
Makes sounds
It's a SENT, put the MWay folder in /lua/entities/

I strongly welcome suggestions and criticism.

Edit:
gm_construct_vamp
Map in video

Edit:
Raiden0899 has modified this to add some stuff.

I edited this to include a third wire output for the length of the MWay and so that the extending parts can't be physgunned.

[Skorpy]

Nice one.

[ripsipiirakk]

Nice very useful!
Gold starred!


Also very good idea to make video to demonstrate it.
It really make all clear!

[mhunters]

Looks fun. Nice job.

[zaks88]

Very nice I have seen this before and always wanted it for Gmod 10 and now its here!

[Aijati]

This looks like you could easily lag severs with but looks cool anyway. Nice job.

[Rooflex]

Awesome, perfect for some servers i guess.

[Daboa]

Now your thinking with M's!
Nice, gold star and the internet

[Ihasabucket]

Yay! you remade it for gmod10!! :D

[aVoN]

Ah, it's back :)

Edit:

Before I forget, which construct-modification is that?

[Rooflex]

Yea, that GM_construct map looked cool.

[Ltp0wer]

Thank you!


I love you!

That's my own construct map, I'm always getting requests to release it but it's not really finished. There's some pictures floating around here if you want to have a look. :keke:

I love you!

Wow Thanks :)

[Catdaemon]

Do these fade in? I know the gmod9 version's didn't, if they don't I suggest you make them do so as it'd look incredibly cool.

[Rooflex]

Gimme that map and i'll give you my babies. :o

Edit:

Wait aren't you the guy of that laser bridge?

[Sodisna]

Awesome SENT. By the way, where can you get a decompiled version of gm_construct?
All I find is Gmod 9 versions.

Good idea, how should I do that? I'm using timers to create them.

Are your "M"s custom entities? If not, make them custom entities and do the fading via setcolor on their think event.

Cool, So it acts sort of like a bridge. Please release that map. (When it's finished). That's so cool, it's a portable bridge. Gold star.

anyone know where that map is?

It's his own map. He said. Or are you talking about the video?

[Ltp0wer]

I just got done playing with it on freespace06, and it is exactly what I wanted.

Brings back great Gmod9 memories.

Again, excellent job.

[Rooflex]

You know where this would be cool?

In portal maps.

[Twi]

Segway? What?

That said, nice work man. I saw a request thread for this earlier... and now, I get to enjoy the results. :D

[esplode]

That's awesome!

They should make portal like game mode where you use the portal gun, this thing for bridges, and other stuff to get through the level, and using limited bridges, portals, etc.

[Clockwork301]

Oh yeah I remmember this from Garry's Mod 9, didn't find a use for it then, but now I do, hmm, an intergalactic bridge conecting planet to planet in space build.

[radioman]

Great SENT. You have my download.

[Atlas]

Whats the name of the other map you were using in the video?

And great SENT.

It's not my video so I have no idea. But if anyone else knows I'd like to know.

[Omnimmotus]

Awesome. I remember this. Gold star.

[WannaBe Me]

cool

lua kinged'

[nieb16]

Just tried it out, it's awesome. Cool sounds, and not that much lag.

There was a version of this, I remember seeing Absolute Zero and KuroNeko playing with it on Kuro's server, that had a different model. Looked like a panel but the ends curved back, like this:

//

\\

It was a lot better than just an M. :)

Sounds good, if you want to change it there's a line in init.lua that says TheModel = Model("whatever.mdl") and you can just change it. If you find that model and it's in the main hl2 model gcf then I might consider changing it tp that.

Release that map!

[Lyoko774]

Haha, I remember this.. Nice remake, but it could use some more effects.

Also, I found the original thread in case anyone cares. http://archive.facepunchstudios.com/...ead/?id=204797

Great SENT, Great work.

It was, I wonder if kuro is aware that this is released.

[KuroNeko]

Hot damn, you people should learn to ask.

I had this remade within 2 weeks of GMod10 coming out, just I didn't release it because I couldn't work on Lua stuff for a while. You didn't even give a sales pitch.

Edit:

Hang on, I'll find my version.

I attached it to this post - can anyone see it?

Just a hint; if you're going to recreate it, at least drop me a PM.
