There's a version with a custom model, look around. You guys should really buy portal.

**creec** · 30th March 2008

Hi all!

I just came to upload my version of cube:
The funny cube!
It contains new model edited lua sounds and now even more, you don't need css or any other game as all files and models included, and now you can enjoy .mp3 or .wav with it!
But, nevermind just download and spawn :)

**Tinter** · 30th March 2008

Hey since some people want to know what it looks like when it is moving I reverse engineered the cube so it go after you when you LOOK at it instead of going with your back turned.

Yeah sorry, but i included you in credits and you didn't say it is copy right protected.
Sorry if it was illegal from your view point. :P

Edit:

You should really try this cube if you haven't.
And as you see this companion cube isn't scary and has not scary sound's change at all!
:)

PS: I was so scared once and almost fell from my chair. Just joking!

Actually, i do remember putting something like "Don't use without permission" in my readme, but whatever.

And i already got about 20 versions of the cube, my entity folder is getting cramped. :(

I spawned this on some dark creepy map with lots of jumps and such. I spawned it, hopped through a teleport, hopped through a second, and then started jumping on these little pillars to get out of a pit. I did the first few, and turned around for a second, and it was perched behind me on a pillar, with the heart up-side down. I kept jumping, and mid jump, the bastard jumped up and stabbed me.
Having it randomly select a player to follow, then having about 10 in a multiplayer server would be scary. Imagine this on Freespace night, or something like that. Or in the Ravenholm RP map.

Edit:

You have atrocious spelling and grammar.
I fixed it for you, but you need to remember to capitalize, spell properly, use good grammar, and punctuate.
The latest version of Firefox has a spell checker built in, much like the one in Microsoft Word but you don't have to copy and paste to make sure the spelling and such is correct. The easiest fix is common sense and a decent education.

Okay thanks :)

Quack! I made it funny and added model and added sounds and wrote lua and made it addon, but nevermind.
I just want to know is it "(NOT)Funny" now?

PS: What about the quy who reversed companion cube's movement to jump around? You can do it simply by welding something to any companion cube.

I tried adding custom sounds to this but it won't play.

Can someone tell me where to put the sounds and how to edit the lua file so they will play properly, i've tried everything.

There is a place in the lua called creepy sounds.
Edit that part.

02browns · 17th April 2008

This is what I've done, have i done it wrong?

I put one mp3 in there to see if that would work instead of wav, still no noises being emitted.

Also have i put the sounds in the right place?

I tried this directory but still doesn't work, i've also tried the gmod sound directory and it doesn't work there either.

Some help would be much appreciated, thank you.

Here's the code after my edit. (I've cut off the bottom part to stop wasting space on the forum page)

Nice work, this is quite scary, but can you make a special version that changes between random generic HL2 models everytime it moves?

Yes you seem to have right sounds in right directory to me.

EDIT: You really have right code, but it takes time to load these sounds, try making more cubes, but then you notice that these sounds are unstoppable.

I figured out it.
You CAN use waw files as you are trying.
You just don't hear them right away because it takes time to launch them.

BUT, evne if your .waw format sounds start to work they don't have such function as STOPSOUND and they will continue to play even if you look at cube or remoe it, so use only valve sounds in SCARY_SOUNDS section.

Well i don't mind if the wav files don't stop playing, i'm just annoyed that they won't start playing at all. You say i've done it correctly but neither my code or yours plays the sounds. So how long am i expected to wait, and is there a way of speeding up the loading process?

I tried to add wav sounds, and for the first they didn't work but after i made around 5 cubes and run around they started to play, but even when i look at cubes they keep playing music.

If you want music in your gmod try my addon:

There were a lot of people who wanted to add own sounds to it but it didn't work but now it does, just add them to My funny companion cube.

Is there a way to change the companion cube to make a TF2 spy knife instead of the CSS one? 'Cause I don't have CSS, and it looks funny. I tried, but I think I did something wrong because it doesn't appear. Do I have to reposition it?

2. I place a PHX window (a couple actually). It moved through them. Try playing with this thing in Ravenholm :D

I managed to catch it move by creating a reflective surface, but on a side note this would be a great game mode. It would also be cool if once in a certain range of the player if they turn around to look then it will stab them.
