what the guy below me said, also how does the weapon class system work in PAC3? i have tried it with both bones and just props, getting no results

I moved the weapon class stuff to events as it seems more appropriate and cleaner for it to be there.

1. On the part you want to hide, right click on it and click on event (this will add an event to the part)
2. In properties, right click on event (right clicking on some things will bring up a special menu for that property)
3. Select weapon class
4. Right click on "arguments"
5. Enter the class name of the weapon in "find"
6. Right click on "operator"
7. Select find simple if you wrote a partial weapon class name or equal if you want it to match exactly

If you want to make it have the opposite effect, tick the "invert" box in the event properties.

These steps might change. Maybe have a context menu instead of a whole new window for events and operators since they're only a few and you can only really select one.

assuming you mean pac3:

right click on the part you want to attach to a vehicle and click on set owner

if it's a group, you can try to change group name to vehicle

From what I've experienced, there are almost no vehicle bones in gmod 12, so you can't attach stuff to the wheels unless you use the beta. I'm not sure if this is a bug in my code or if it's just that gmod 13 gives us access to more bones.

Bones overall behave different on players in the beta too. They don't change child bones like in gmod 12.

how do i convert legacy outfits from PAC 2?
[edit]
i also have a glitch when i get in the vehicle even after i set it to owner the parts come back to me and float around. or is that just a gmod 12 thing?

[CapsAdmin]

more progress on the mmo char thing

this is a nice way of fixing stuff in pac3:

added relative bones to the entity part which when enabled fixes model scaling in gmod 13 and makes bones behave like in gmod 12 (and also the arm bug for some reason !)
improved bone part
changed the bone part a bit (might break stuff)
removed useless property "sequence" from model

[CapsAdmin]

2x fps!
added tree part sorting
improved owner logic
removed set owner (use owner name is prefered now, but still not complete!)
improved wearing on server (still not complete though)

[tehMuffinMan]

This is amazing, if only I could find a good sandbox server with this addon.

[ChadMusket]

Is this made for Gmod 13

[Frankess]

But it works well in current version.

[Varachack]

Wow.

[rebel1324]

It has been tested on current gmod and gmod 13.
it works anyway.

[Skerion]

Is there a way to get a list of bones of the player in PAC, like when you want to parent a model to a specific bone?

Also, when I bonemerge a model to the player, the player itself becomes visible.



I already set the alpha of the entity (player) to zero, but that doesn't seem to work when I bonemerge something to a model. Is this some kind of bug or am I doing something wrong?

[sebablixa]

how do i install pac2 where does it go

[Skerion]

Oh my god, this is all so confusing.

How do you edit npcs? How do you even "select" the npc you want to edit? I tried changing the owner name to the npc, but I must be doing something wrong because that doesn't work. I really need to know exactly how it's all done.

Also, how do you bring up the material menu in PAC3?

I'm sorry for all these questions. I haven't gotten used to PAC3 yet, and I just now found out about it. PAC2 just seemed so easy in comparison to this.

right click the property, left clicking is manual editing

[Skerion]

Thanks CapsAdmin

By the way, you should really add faceposing in PAC3 if you haven't already. Just a suggestion.

Also, I just found out that you can't have two edited entities with the same name in the same map. For example, if you try to add something to the second ragdoll you selected for editing, it will just go to the first ragdoll, even if you have the owner set to the second ragdoll.

[Skerion]

Here's a vortigaunt cyborg I've been working on today.



Any suggestions on what I should add or change? It's still a WIP, so I'm planning on adding other things like feet and possibly arms.

Blue or green lights and a sprite in-between the pincers of the gravity guns. A robotic eye on its head would look nice also.

[death_blade_420]

i think i may have derped up something because i added the entity part to make the player model invisible and set the owner to the ragdoll but the ragdoll does not disappear when i put the outfit on it, i was using an Alyx ragdoll, i will post a screenshot of what i am seeing both in and out of the editor.

[Electrocuter]

I think the recent Gmod13 update messed something up, the words in the properties sidebar are showing up huge to me now.

[Skerion]

Just found out that lamps don't have any effect on models on an entity, which kinda sucks since I wanted to make some screenshots with PAC3.



It would be nice to have this fixed.

If I remember correctly it only does that on dx8, in dx9 clientside models are affected by normal lighting, unless caps is manually overriding it.

[CapsAdmin]

fonts may be big in gmod13 because gmod13 has font issues. (the default font set isn't being loaded i think)

I've tried to look at it a couple of times, but idk how to make it work

Have you tried using these functions in the beta respectively before and after rendering all the parts?

render.PushFlashlightMode( b )
render.PopFlashlightMode()

tried it just now and it kinda works

I have to draw the model twice though, which drops the FPS by a whole lot, and even more when a flash light is on. It only makes the light overlay visible so I have to draw the model again after the normal draw. The light seem to get stuck as well, as in not updating properly when I turn my flashlight or lamp off.

[Cysero]

Hey, I saw you have the mantreads on your model there. I was messing around and couldn't seem to get the separate bones to attach to my legs, so it moved around like it was stiff. How'd you get yours to work?

[Skerion]

It seems that if you change the scale of a bone, the scale of the other added bones will change as well. Has this happened to anyone else?

[CapsAdmin]

yeah it's just how player bones work

but in gmod 13 i made it so you can turn it off, but when you do player scale won't work

[PimpinDemopan]

Hey, um, pardon me if I sound stupid, but I tried downloading PAC2 on the first page on two different browsers but it failed, is there another link for it?

[death_blade_420]

you need an SVN client to download PAC2, like tortoise SVN

[TheSmartass]

Okay, once I have created the entity in the PAC editor to make child bones relative, how do I apply it to the player?

[The Rizzler]

haven't used PAC since PAC2, and I was trying just now to make a costume with PAC3 (new system seems much more streamlined, good job) but it seems the properties window is squashed into the top right corner, is this a resolution problem i have or a result of the recent source engine update?

Edited:

ah, turns out i was using pac2 and not pac3, pac3 seems to be working just fine so far

right click on the outfit and wear

or ctrl d (shortcut)

[TheSmartass]

I am obviously missing something then, because even if I am wearing it, the entity doesn't help with positioning bones whatsoever. Maybe the question I should have asked is how do I use entities to make child bones relative on the player?

[CapsAdmin]

That should happen in the editor when ticking or unticking the box. This feature doesn't really do anything in gmod12.

[Combine 177]

This is a lot harder to operate than PAC 2.

Edited:

Also I keep managing to crash whole game with it.
