Post #1
I've decided to modify Conna's breakable props stool. This has taken me months with a lot of help from friends. It is also my first project so don't be too harsh on me.
"What's different from this and the original tool?"
- New effects
- Gcombat style die effect but with new effects
- Better colour code
- Sounds
- Multiplier slider
- Explosion damage(toggleable): props explode when they die. This can cause awesome chain reactions.
- New particles (The same one Jinto's using for his WIP nuke)
- Vehicles can be breakable (Using a very hacky method, but hey, it works. Also toggleable)
- Debris is scaled according to the size of the prop.
- Sound pitch is pitched according to the size of the prop.
- More debris is spawned if the prop is larger.
- Preset box
Some screenshots:
The major part is new effects, though. I've been working a lot on it and I've added debris and shit. Here's a video
old
I'm making a thread here because there's a few bugs I want to fix. But I have no idea how to fix them.
Current bugs:
- Undo doesn't undo from the undo list when the prop breaks
- If you apply this on a contraption with too many constraints it won't apply properly

Very nice :D
You should check some of the other SWEPs/SEnts for the undo bug.
-
Great modification! Definatly going on my server!
One thing though, you should remove the alerts that come up when you make a prop breakable.
They're crap, I should have never added them.
-
Wow, that is awesome! :D
-
This is the first modification that doesn't deserve the name of which.
Very well done.
Edit:
I loved when you hit the heli and the rotor went flying.
Edit:
And when you bashed the scanner's brains out.
-
That video is pretty good, nice job. I'm making Arkantos run this on his server when he hosts again :).
-
Awesome effects :D
-
I am so getting this, It will be awesome for my movies.
-
Thanks guys.
I'm trying to figure out how to do the undo thing. I have no idea where to start. :\
-
Basically you start with undo.Create(<undo name>) and keep adding shit with undo.AddEntity(<the ent>) before doing undo.SetPlayer(<the player that can undo>) followed by undo.Finish()
-
I think that part is already in the code. The problem is that the undo doesn't undo when the prop dies.
Edit:
So you end up having lots of undo's in your undo list.
-
I've been seeing this in many versions on your server, I love it! Glad you released it, and I really like the new effects. But I still want firetrails before the prop 'Dies'. RPGing my numerous aircraft with this is immensly fun!
-
I'll try to make the firetrail fade in when the hp is critical.Morbo!!! posted:

Wow those effects look really good!
Will come in handy when making fights.
-
If you ever decide to make a version that applies breakable to ALL props on the server, I'd love to have a copy.
-
Unfortunately, this tool doesn't work with the advanced duplicator tool, just like Conna's. Could that feature be incorporated?
-
I'm not experienced enough to do that I think.
-
It's awesome. Could you make a command so that this is put on all props automatically when you spawn them?
Like
sbox_breakable 1 - Would make all props breakable
and
Sbox_breakable 0 - Would turn off the breakable props.
-
The ban hammer in the video is funny :D
Good job.
-
I'm still working on this by the way. ZpankR joined so he'll be working on it as well. We're open for suggestions.
So far we've added
- Explosion damage(toggleable): props explode when they die. This can cause awesome chain reactions.
- New particles (The same one Jinto's using for his WIP nuke)
- Vehicles can be breakable (Using a very hacky method, but hey, it works. Also toggleable)
- Debris is now scaled according to the size of the prop.
- Sound pitch is pitched according to the size of the prop.
- More debris is spawned if the prop is larger.
I'll also upload a new video soon as well.
-
It's so awesome to watch all the props fly away from the explosion.
Keep up the good work!
-
-
Nice new effects.
Still no thought of adding one command to make this automatically work on all props without having to click on each contraption?
-
Of course. We just want to finish the effects first.
-
For the next release can you add which gibs will spawn upon breaking. If so that would be epic.
-
What do you mean?Zenreon117 posted:
If I understand you, there's already debris.
-
Yes but it would be nice to somehow customize that debris so that when you blow up lets say a helicopter you get the helicopter gibs. FOR EXAMPLE. But yea i'm just saying it would be a nice addition.
-
We would need custom models for that. Sorry.Zenreon117 posted:
Added:
- Console command for making all props breakable upoun spawning.
-
Can't wait for the new version. Looks great
-
It's gonna be released soon.
the effects look so much better now, too.
-
It looked awesome when I tested it on your server. :3:
-
Some screenshots:
:D
-
OH MY GOD!!! NICE!!! :D:D:D
-
That is some serious effect!
Good job :).
-
No I don't mean custom debris for every model I mean if you for example break a 4x4 wooden PHX prop you can make it so 4 1x1 phx props spawn. This is an example. You can also use which sound it makes apon breaking.CapsAdmin posted:

Zenreon , too much work.
-
Wow, excellent, sir! Great particle effects - reminds me of the ones in the AMRAAM (The AMRAAM would be even more awesome if it didn't crash the server all the time, but that's another subject).
Where can this be found?CapsAdmin posted:
Edit:
Kind of off topic, but, is there anywhere that has an archive of Conna's stuff? A lot of older Conna's Stools are broken, and I was hoping the STC (Scripted Tools Collection) had more updated versions: http://www.garrysmod.com/?dont_buff_...T,_EPS_and_CTC
Connacook.com no longer exits, and very few of Conna's creations are at Garrysmod.org. It's like when Conna got banned, he purposely removed all signs of his existence.
Edit:
LPine is banned now, too. Wow, soon there will be no Lua programmers left after the ban-a-thon 2008 on this website is over with.

Why do you think there's still no new theme for the Gamemode Coding Contest?
But seriously, awesome effects man. I'll be using this a lot.

Jinto's WIP nuke is around somewhere in this thread:Cornflake posted:

We got the stool from the stool pack and modified it. So I think that is the latest version.Cornflake posted:
The only problem holding us back now from a release is the emitters getting stuck sometimes clientside. But I think I know how to fix it.
Here's the particles:
