Nerd Koopa's hovercars - Garry's Mod

Decided to post screenshots of my set of hovercars that I've been building over a long while. These cars are mostly made from E2 holograms, but there are a few props as well. They come with a chat controlled color changer, and a trickmode for doing flips, spins and rolls when in mid-air. The main chip's ops count is around 400 when idle, and around 1300 when the chassis is given absolute hell. And no, they don't work on water. That's a conscious design choice. I apologize for the varying picture resolutions, but I've been building these things on two separate PCs. The first design. A simple neo-50's look.

The hover engines and airbrakes are animated.

Comes with a taxi version. I've been thinking of making a cop version at some point as well. [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/53249782181119437/14BA289C51A1F04A5734B9EE919E69EC0A205F74/[/T] [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/53249782181120514/121A93B1CBB9436DF6D0D1917B9F155357F73C51/[/T] [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/527255596975826920/3D0811721AF478B3BA76D4239596C92FD9BD8A8B/[/T] This one was inspired by late 60's and early 70's muscle cars. [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/526128624937168178/584D816602449DEF2BB087FD1DFADB6D405058A2/[/T] [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/526128624937168545/7B09DA3350B31170EE5F5B709FE58F84CADAC4A4/[/T] With this one I wanted to make the smallest possible body that could still fit 4 players. Comes with a tuned version. [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/527255067336414368/87E834A088148DBCAA39C1DF2F5FDC3CD1300FA8/[/T] [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/527255067336414847/DCCBB475250E32D83D7BAA1BD0DCC9E26C14DEB1/[/T] [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/527255067347622472/836C14EF1B6DD2B91B2D521641E0FABF6E697B40/[/T] A rather unconventional design inspired by the vintage covers of Modern Mechanix. The rear engine and airbrakes are animated. [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/532885201675108569/652DAE5F5AC115F7E5B58ADBBC071AFC497346FE/[/T] [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/532885201675108899/CC7E6C9DC7EA43B44E6B78A6C8DA24D32A283DF3/[/T] A hover hot rod. The hover engines on this one are animated too. I have a rusty rat rod version too, but forgot to take screenshots of it. [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/531760021443322532/23D9BAD49623FC43A32D2247BB7513FDD571CEA6/[/T] [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/531760021443322911/87D5C489330E63ED2CBA2669B9D3BC2AD324EB5F/[/T] A Big luxurious executive saloon hovercar. I put more effort on the interior on this one than on the others. [T]http://cloud-2.steamusercontent.com/ugc/531760574329298311/8ABEB062703294F76083CFAAE638E7AC416A5D4C/[/T] [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/531760574329298639/E764494B34CD6F58BCD7C820DE69E96D2817E83E/[/T] [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/531760574329299031/FF11650D36818E282E09ED06A8A4A4ADD69D6528/[/T] [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/531760574329299374/B611334A74C64A428F7BC2B117507A4BF43B60C2/[/T]

A new addition. This one was loosely inspired by Auburn cars. Some might find the default spawn color scheme ugly, but I found that cream yellow and lion brown go quite nicely together. [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/531761112938473824/ED7783D53D5B8E4047ED206058DA426DCAC42FF2/[/T] [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/531761112938474418/5BF72BCA7DC6DA2350C287CDEC57425286BE7749/[/T]

I left like making a hovercar that's significantly faster than my other ones, so I put together this thing. [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/531762015791730811/73946E479B39DD5ABEBDA4F8FCF07834050F6996/[/T] [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/531762015791731732/B507D68A5099AA03982287AAAC646E83E1F69A7D/[/T] [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/531762015791741805/A254F5CA373A7D6B5D742D6C63B6479B85F1B37B/[/T]

They're so neat. I've seen you making those things for like 4 years now and you gotta love how you always stayed true to the bubble-design thing. :v:

They're classy things for sure

A hovering pickup truck. I intend on giving this one a wall/ceiling sticking mode instead of trick mode like in the other cars, but I haven't started working on that feature yet, so here's the regular trick mode version instead. [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/532888367344631602/66FB73007F478E3E11D0EA51A90DB2DC30B5B2A0/[/T] [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/532888367344632280/AA6A939A32D08B38266BD09B187D21BDB2DF89D2/[/T]

Here's the other version of the hover pickup. Replaced trick mode with a climbing mode. This one can drive on ceilings rather easily. [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/532888367351393054/DBFA62711381B7DF383A860E0E08D574DA1EA0FB/[/T] [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/532888367351394523/47CD5FF8ACF21D699974EC1002172A56830F8C3A/[/T]

I finally managed to make a super narrow chassis stable enough, so here's my first hoverbike! The front, back and handlebars are animated. I'm guessing the title of this thread is a lie now. [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/532889006039241832/DCE602CC12D88011F7CFC3D24E8FDFA57C0CFABC/[/T] [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/532889006039242649/5685002FE41E281EF7C9407B08306C2713019D55/[/T]

Nice work! I'm loving the curvy aesthetic

Made a version of the hoverbike that has a sidecar. Now my friends don't have to alt+e on the baseprop to travel with me. [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/532889006049409481/5D93C268A5E4E15074EC9A0AB4C33135D4766CD2/[/T]

Another hoverbike, this time a bit 80's inspired. I wanted this one to have a seat for a passenger as well, but no matter how I positioned the passenger, it would always look super wonky. Had to settle for a sidecar version instead (not shown in this picture). [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/532889006053442856/97E61DC2F6B7BB34E6B656D7B90F4AD6B2ECA9EA/[/T]

A small hovering sports car. Not much to it. [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/532890227337717131/619BB8DED8E760B974D206DC1BD295F6D7D3821F/[/T] [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/532890227337718362/9F671FF1F728415FD2D039EB691BAECD8110D3EE/[/T]

This time I decided to make something that resembles a hot hatch. The way the roof dips towards the inside and how the roof scoop rests on it are probably gonna divide opinions, but I thought it would look interesting. [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/532890227349406536/8BD92E05BDC862068A2B6F7BEA22CD840E70AFC9/[/T] [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/532890227349407065/2EEF030190CAABB79DCFF199EDB96DE34C78F7EF/[/T]

Got the inspiration to make another 1930's styled hovercar after listening to some electro swing. [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/532891003862911513/DDEA880B8911EF8B6F3E805189B7FC5A273AD6C7/[/T] [T]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/532891003862912012/F4027774D481951C8995521643CEA24DBD387CC3/[/T]

Decided to deviate from my usual style, and make an armored hovervan. Shine and round shapes are replaced with matte and sharp edges. This one needed to look like it was meant to take an RPG hit (which it actually can't do ingame, being mostly non-solid and all that). [T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/532891538403439070/737565541E064149B436B8E72758645E50E14572/[/T] [T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/532891538403440135/94F21DAA8991AB67A79249809686E79BDA856241/[/T]

Made a roofed version of that earlier red sports hover. What you see is what you get. [T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/532891784910466408/09A253BEFBF581A15115867B875802117CB804D8/[/T] [T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/532891784910466820/45805D81BE8985D217AFA31D4435C34BB951DC21/[/T]

This hovervan design had been in my head for a really long time, because there were a few details that I just couldn't get right until now. [T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/534018071221611927/1AB0D3D02F3516748639C8310DAE6F5FDAB34FF0/[/T] [T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/534018071221613036/3D792EE9822EC398F731AB9C325B511EC2316334/[/T]

After seeing some concept car drawings from the 70's, I got inspired to try a more angular design again. This is the result. [T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/534018989704370243/0E1EE57FCB778F0D08852C2A8FF4FB13FEE5753B/[/T] [T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/534018989704370598/7AFB7F4DD3B61ACE87EC449038644B04C1CE042B/[/T] [T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/534018989704371105/76C5128077946866CF97A7DC7CA7639447F56DAA/[/T]

This time I wanted to make a station wagon. It turned out to be much more challenging to make than I expected, but here it is. [T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/537397040750470539/A52B303F6DDA265F20AC90FF5764FAF493BBFDA0/[/T] [T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/537397040750471020/E9E4E9246ACA055EF1841E8402E7D181CEB69BE7/[/T]

This version of the hover station wagon is equipped with a roof rack and a bike rack, and filled to the brim with stuff. I even put a bit of trash on the floor (crushed cans, paper, takeout box) to give it that extra bit of character. It's almost like a little drivable scene build now! [T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/537397400097640246/65B61C80DCDF00FE7F5CB70C28574939904479DC/[/T]

A standard small family car. Style wise I feel like this one is stuck in a limbo between the 50's and the 60's, but it doesn't look half bad, at least IMO. [T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/534020074555464407/727C93470A72BF3A75F8FEC5AB02E3E5C5691E15/[/T] [T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/534020074555464798/964D735844BB5038377619DA4C5F4F79B58C0175/[/T]

Hi, My Steam name is The Shotty, and those are awesome! ( BTW you should remember me from Cre8ive)

A double feature of alternate versions today! A sedan version of that station wagon, and a taxi version of that small family sedan. [T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/534020142375959350/82C40EB8EB0627CC46977D635D32F12829D6B4D7/[/T] [T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/534020142375959754/BAC6DCDB29FD38817D12C6ADB236A13F307999D6/[/T] [T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/534020142376119326/284106247D80A7BD586C5594A281891D428B163A/[/T] [T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/534020142376119676/35285A4D772E0556227557176E98835372796858/[/T]

A third alternate version of that small family sedan. This time a cop car. Comes with a working siren (sound requires ACF) and a random radio chatter E2. The radio first chooses a random "unit", complete with a number, then it chooses a random happening, then it chooses a random location, and location number. For example, it could say "Partol four five, unit down at industrial zone one zero six". Cherrypicking all the suitable sounds from the overwatch radio chatter was quite time consuming, but worth it. This little car has turned out to be quite a versatile basis for different versions. I wonder how many more I can come up with... [T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/535146592456630555/7948AE4D1A7964FCE6A44FF1D74D884B29D529BC/[/T]

You should make more military-style hovercars.

Another sporty design. This is probably my lowest model so far, and the most complicated chrome trimming. [T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/535146592464619049/ED5FE894E6B05FE38E02CF4538C3313CB23085DB/[/T] [T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/535146592464619490/0DC96746F24783DC7D97EFC107A9431E1CEB576D/[/T]

Nice work! keep it up, and I may start to get into making more E2's The Shotty/Typing Spider

The latest Gmod update broke E2, and interval() no longer works, thus completely and utterly wrecking EVERYTHING I'VE EVER MADE. No new hovercars any time soon.

The SVN version of Wiremod was fixed, so here's my take on a hovering minivan. Holds 9 players. Sadly, I will only be able to use it on servers that use the SVN version. Workshop Wiremod is gonna stay broken for a looooong god damn time. [T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/535147145292652251/AA1536DE3F4C317513D642822E80F884B9D94062/[/T] [T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/535147145292652770/4AD3AC1C2C9C78712422A06B4B5578468059BBEF/[/T] [T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/535147145292653166/56DD2F49CCE16333B9648ABB730CAF313C96DB7B/[/T]
