A perfectly harmless companion cube. Absolultely nothing to be afraid of at all. It definitely cannot speak. In fact, if it could speak, I'm sure it would be quite friendly. But that doesn't matter because it can't speak. Or move. And it certainly won't stab you, either. That's for sure.

*looks around shiftily, then grabs cube and runs away*

HEHEHEH


EDIT: The first time I played with this, it scared me shitless. For some reason I really didn't want to disconnect, I just wanted to see what would happen, and it took me ages to realize it was doing something. Seriously fucking scary stuff for the first time.

So, what? Does it actually talk? Or is that just a joke?

Of course not. Don't be silly. Inanimate objects can't talk or stalk you relentlessy or stab you to death. That's preposterous.

I hate to be a nag, but typo on line 223

Edit:

also cool SEnt :)

OK, this is SO scary. Whatever you do, DON'T TURN AWAY. DON'T BLINK. KEEP YOUR EYES ON IT AT ALL TIMES. And try to stay sane for more than 10 seconds.


You get a zing for this things unbelievable awesomeness.

actually typos in all your trace.filter's

Edit:

what are you talking about?? it is completely harmless...

Lol, brilliant.
You should make it so if the player it's tracking is looking in the general direction of it it doesn't do anything. Kinda like a "moving bush" that a cartoon character is in

Finally, I have always wanted my own Aperture Science Weighted Companion Cube, that in fact will not speak to, scare, or stab me...

[spoiler]Couldn't test it, but I did look at the code[/spoiler]

You should make it say: "I will stab you in your back!" Or "do you have a cola?"

:P Why would the companion cube say something like that?
Also, it's better left for people to wonder what the cube says to you if it does speak.

On topic: Great SENT, loved portal, love this.

It should say it because then you think you are crazy

On topic: I love it to.

Hahaha I was taking a glance at the code (I don't know anything about Lua) but I think I understood what this does :)
Nice, gold star'd.

Okay, I just played the game, and this thing is creepy as hell, but yet ..*shiver* ...I have got to show my friend this later...:)

Nice! Something to scare my friends with if they haven't found about about this yet

edit:
I found out that it goes all crazy when weld something to it.

Haha, good point, would be great with surround sound, just walking around, then you hear it talking to you. That would be pretty freaky in the real world.

Well, it is mostly harmless.

hmmm... what are your friends like foda?!?!?


:D

People might think you're a crazy genius for creating this.

I just think you're a genius.

Edit:

I'm so gonna replace that model.

i'm about to try it now, should be fun :)

Looking at the source code, it looks really crazy. I wanna see a video of it.

Just looked over the code... very nice work. King'd.

edit - shame about the download image, though, I thought that was one of the less accurate-looking models of the WCC.

I have to congratulate you, this is the first thing in gmod which has actually scared me. As in Really scared me. Almost as much as watching the ring. Keep working on it, it needs more stuff. Maybe you turn to face it, and see a face which disappears very quickly. Or see flashes of it in the corner of your eye, then turn around and it's behind you.

would anyone care to enlighten me as to how i could replace the model in this? The gnome haunts my dreams as it is =D

I love it!

Awesome!

Nice! Stabby "Companion" AKA "Alma-from-Fear-with-teleporting-and-sounds-and-backstabbing

I'm now scared to play portal with the cube let alone Garry's mod.

I love it.

I love you! <3

behehehe

That thing actually scared me while i was playing on Dustbowl.
1. I decided to try and keep an eye on it, so i placed a camera and turned away. It didn't move. I placed an RT camera and placed a monitor. I think it moved in front of me.
2. I place a PHX window (a couple actually). It moved through them. Try playing with this thing in Ravenholm :D

	self:SetModel( "models/props/metal_box.mdl" )
	self:SetSkin( 1 )

Find that in the lua file and you could change it to whatever you want.

Edit: This seems awesome but I haven't tested it... I must test it when I get the chance! :D

Wow this is creepy. good work.

Where do I find the models?

holy fucking hilarity

It depends what model you want... Most are hidden, if not all default models. There is some way to find them, I think it's called gcfscape but I'm not sure it's that.

But if I cannot find the location and name of the models, I cannot place them in the lua text file.

Well I think the path and name of the models is in the spawnlist in Garrys Mod, so you could look there for a wanted model. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Get the program GCFScape and open the GCF files with the models.

Oops,I meant to give you a lua king , but I gave you an unfriendly,sorry, this cube rocks, I am gunna download it and see how sneaky it can really be

This cube is a spy! *hides sentry guns*

Make army of these.

I also did that, having 20-50 of em is even more scary.

Just like the Earth, no doubt

Thank goodness they are absolutely perfectly harmless companion cubes. I thought they might try and stab me or somethi... GAH!

*Insert appropriate audio effects associated with bodily mutilation through the medium of a knife*.

These are epic.

weld one to the inside of one of those red containers and throw it in the water, then RUN as far as you can as fast as you can, turn around when you hear a noise, and you got a FEAR cutscene. works best with multiple cubes and lots of fire and blood.
EDIT:
make sure you nocollide the cube and the container though.

what this needs now is some manhack sound effects..

you turn around and it is just a cube...

(even scarier in dark room :D)

Needs a function so it randomly places itself on tables.

Imagine, walk into your base and the cube is just sitting there, on your command console.

Edit:

Indeed.

Also, continuing on with these Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy references, can you make it so that the cube beams down in the middle of the Freespace06 city? In plain view? As nobody will notice.

Awesome job! I so want to spawn this in a random rp server.

I tossed this into my server. Of course, how it spawns is unknown.

I think I'll try to do this. the bush thing that is.

I don't have Portal so I replaced the model with this

http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=23673

It's cool, but kinda glitchy with this model... it will be sinking out of the ground.

Gold stared

I replaced it with one of my own cubes and a few other sounds from games like Stalker, kinda makes it scarier as it is.

I laughed, what were to happen if you built an air fortress, then put the cube on the ground

Great job! You've made my girlfriend scream.

I've tried welding it to things, nailing it to things, using ropes and even grabbers to hold it down but nothing can keep this guy from doing absolutely nothing at all to you.

It even doesn't escape from being constantly teleported to a far off location and under no circumstances manages to break away and kill you, that's just a silly rumor.

Holy fuck, Teta, you're a genius. Just spent a while playing with these things and every time they killed me I almost jumped out of my chair. You've distilled psychological horror into its most elemental, shiny, and pink-heart-covered form.

Can't agree more, tried beating ravenholm with that cube chasing me.

Lets just say the rants of Father gregori never were this deadly. :uhoh:

I agree, I've never been more deathly afraid of anything in a game. I don't know whether it's the jagged squareness that gives me nightmares, or the way it's preposterously joyful heart-shaped knob seems to hide a cold, calculating, methodical intelligence or consciousness that continuously stares at me from all its six sides.

I can't run from them no matter where i go. There's so many. Oh God!

Wow... I'm scared to even download this thing....

This is fucking amazing.

Is there a conventional way of destroying them? Like, besides the remover gun?

There is no stopping the cube.

I MIGHT JUST BE ABLE TOO WITH THIS APERTURE SCIENCE INCINERATI-

*stab*

I didn't expect the noises.
This thing made me afraid to turn off my flashlight, and I was on a bright map, no darkness at all. I hardly would look away from it. Now I keep looking over my chair at my plush on my bed. It's kinda scary having a Companion Cube plush, after having just spawned this a bit ago.

Holy, fucking crap that thing is scary

I love what you've done. It is indeed very creepy how it doesn't sneak up on you or anything. I can think of very little to improve upon it.

This made me discover me ability to Jump forward while simultaneously turning around and releasing a barrage of bullets at the cube.

Other than saying "Oh dear." And a really fucking scary horror-sound, it hasn't done anything though.

Mostly because I exited GMod soon after.

sounds to remove: Oh dear. Anything by gregori. Fiddlesticks and rise and shine

Sounds to add: Fast zombie berserk, Footsteps, Poison zombie breathing, Zombine scream, zombine radio sounds, Playground memories. The noises from the red glados ball.

By the way, I love how you can't capture it on camera (RT camera maybe)

Also very excellent entity and it scares the hell out of me. But I'd have it go crazy when ignited.

The RT camera can capture it. I used it to watch it as the cube snuck up behind me.

Awesome gamemode idea.


A big map in the apature science theme with loads of companion cubes all around you, There's one of these and an incinerator.

Find the evil one and chuck it into the incinerator to score. You (what the fuck smartness loss?) loose scores for trying to incinerate regular cubes.

all incinerated cubes are replaced. Stabbed people don't come back. winner is the one with the most incinerations and least deaths.

Also all the cubes randomly reshuffle.

Edit:

Cubevision.

Get a target sensor, Set it to find the cubes entname (Harmless_companion_cube)

Set the range to 9999999

Get a view controller and a beacon sensor.

Set the xyz outputs from the beacon into the xyz inputs of the view controller

Get numpad inputs for 8 5 4 and 6 and set 6 and 8 to -50 and 5 and 4 to +50 when on and 0 when off without toggle.

Wire the 5 and 8 into a add gate and the 4 and 6 into a separate add gate.

Wire the two add gates to two separate accumulators.

Wire one to pitch and one to yaw. (I don't know either. Fiddle about till 8 goes up and 5 goes down 6 goes right and 4 goes left.

Now wire another numpad input set on * or . or something to the activate on the view controller.


You now have a cube eye view. Beware, the cube now thinks your blind and will stab you right in the ass as you watch. But it's great fun multiplayer.

tetabonita... my favourite 05er. <3. no not that kind.

Edit:

tetabonita... my favourite 05er. <3. no not that kind. edit: wire support? hehehe.

Epic Man Just Epic

If you rope it (while unfrozen) it can't follow you.

hi
i made a spawnicon for the cube:

just extract into your garrysmod directory

Hihi. The companion cube has the revenge.

Is there any way you can supply the cube model for those of us who don't have Portal?

As that would me warez, no.
