Tool Wars: Smart Weld VS Smart Constraint

[Bl4ck1ce]

This may spark off more "Tool Wars" threads, were people argue that one tool is better than another.

Also note, before voting randomly, read and consider your choice. Well, as if anyone will follow that anyway.

I will [B]TRY[/B] to be as unbiased as I can.

[B]TOOL WARS[/B]

Todays contestants:

Smart Weld!
Select individually or select all of your contraption, giving it a green selection colour this looks spiffing! The welds are instant but it has secrets we don't want.

Smart Constraint!
Select individually or select all of your contraption (dependent on size because sometimes it doesn't select all of it), giving it a red selection colour that looks dashing! The welds are slow and effective but it too has drawbacks!

The Cons :siren: & The Pros :3:

[B]Smart Weld[/B]

:3: Quick selection
:3: Instant-welding
:3: Less likely to lag your game
:3: Select no-collide amounts!

:siren: Can mostly result in your contraptions being ruined
:siren: Extremely unstable in 76% cases, which is why only 'professionals' use them, because they can crash servers very easily.
:siren: Undoing your smart weld will result in your entire contraption undoing all the weld constraints, leaving your prop as a big bundle of prop shit! Used correctly it can be used for demolishing a building but not recommended. At all.

[B]Smart Constraint[/B]

:3: Effective welding (strong welding)
:3: Can Freeze/Unfreeze (or both) before and finished welding (So it'll freeze my contraption for welding, and if I want, I can unfreeze it after welding or keep it frozen)
:3: No-collide included
:3: Select the number of constraints for each prop (recommended 1, 2, or 3, anything above should be used for small-ish contraptions)

:siren: Slow welding
:siren: You'll have to assist it in no-colliding as it doesn't work mostly (use no-collide multi in this case, very good for nocolliding parts that are too long to no-collide manually via the original no-collide)
:siren: May give out a lag spike that can last from 0.01 seconds to 2 seconds (usually happens when people try to auto-select a really big prop numbered contraption).

[B]USES[/B]

Smart Weld: Quick small-time welding, (not recommended) crash blowups (buildings being demolished via removing smartweld, making a contraption crumble) or crash scenarios to a whole contraption, [U]crashing a server if you are a bloody minge. :argh:[/U]

Smart Constraint: Slow but big-time welding, used for a house, a plane, or a train, cars aren't really recommended, effective welding.

I for one vote for [highlight]Smart Constraint[/highlight] but someone may prefer [B]Smart Weld[/B] instead.

[B]Please comment on what your favourite Tool is out of the two above and give us a reason, we'd like to hear why you prefer one tool over the other.

[/B]:siren:New notices/rules/other you may want to read:siren:;

-Stay on the topic of the two tools in the current 'War' thread.
-If you want to talk about another tool, be it only for suggestions of next month.
-Don't say stuff like Post #3 has done. (E.g. "I don't like Smart weld because I use multi-weld!", that's ironic and it's also OOT (Out Of Topic). Please don't do that.
-At the end of each month the tool with the highest votes will be spammed with suitable emotions announcing the tool, or I can use a picture, but the picture part I'll have to get someone to make, because you [I]really[/I] don't want me to make a picture. :ohdear:
-Allow at least 5 days for a new tool vote to be decided, if you have suggestions, Inbox me on the 20th towards the end of the month, suggestions WILL be taken into account. More than 1 tool, because going "Make a tools war vote for wiremod!", because Wiremod has no rivals and you've only given me one tool, unless theres another, but they must be somewhat similar to each other, like SMART WELD and SMART CONSTRAINT (they both weld, they both give coloured selections, that's being similar!)

[highlight]If you didn't read the above but want to suggest things, read this:

ON THE 20TH DAY OF EACH MONTH TOWARDS THE END OF THAT MONTH, INBOX ME SUGGESTIONS. DON'T USE "Use Wiremod!", BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT OTHER MODS IT RIVALS WITH.

YES, YOU CAN USE MORE THAN JUST 2 IF YOU FOUND MORE TOOLS THAT CONFLICT :3:

(YES, YOU CAN USE VANILLA vs ADDON TOOLS (e.g. No-collide versus No-Collide multi)

:smile:

I have also voted for Smart Constraint. It is a god send in spacebuild.
Once used, most ships are very stable and less likely to lag.

[GunfighterJ]

I would say neither. I use easy precision.

[Babnux]

You missed a big thing on smartweld. If you hold down E and right click it welds everything selected to the prop you are looking at! Fantastic if you just want to constrain a big contraption you made with physgun so you can dupe it, without creating any more constraints than you need. That alone makes me vote for it.

[Tyasume]

Smart Constraint, I'd rather have it done slowly and correctly than have a sloppy quick job.

But isn't that pretty much like (Super) Parenting? Select the main prop, and select the props to become that one prop's sibling props.

That isn't the point of the thread, don't discuss another tool unless you have a suggestion for next months TOOL WARS. :3:

[Civil]

Easy precision!
It does not have another tool that tryes to copy it so no it will not be in another tool wars of your.

[Bl4ck1ce]

I guess we need to get people to code more tools, so then we have plenty more rivaling tools :v:

[Bl4ck1ce]

Oh come on guys, don't tell me you can't argue over two tools.

If you can argue about who's dick is bigger I'm sure you can argue about two tools.

These are very popular tools, that's why I'm usin' them.

[.Lain]

I think smart weld because it is very quick, but the weld stretches under force which isn't good
P.S Black ice you are a brilliant op

[Bl4ck1ce]

I know someone else would say different, but thanks :3:

[Carmine3777]

smart weld fucks up my contraptions, I use multi-weld, but I voted for smart constraint.
