GMod "contraption" to hammer? - Developers

Basically, I need a sort of tree house thing which I'm going to put into my map, but te mthod I'm using is a faggot. How would I go about making it in GMod and exporting it to hammer. Thanks.

Possible save it in Adv.Duplicator, find the file and convert it to a .mdl file using a modeling program.

Urgh... I was hoping to do it in hammer. [editline]05:57PM[/editline] Actually I have to do it in hammer.

No way, just remake it in hammer.

you'd need vmf loader for this to work. I don't know if it's been fixed yet. google it or look for a working one on garrysmod.org

I believe there was once an addon called VMFSuite, it saves your contraptions like adv duplicator but it saves them like .vmf, not .txt, that way you can load them into hammer :)

VMFSuite doesn't work with the updates apparently... I'll try VMF loader.

use map_edit [url]http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Map_edit[/url]

You can't use any weapons (and therefore the phys gun) while map_edit is on.

[QUOTE=~ZOMG;20938739]You can't use any weapons (and therefore the phys gun) while map_edit is on.[/QUOTE] This doesn't make any sense. You should be able to use anything you normally can ingame while map_edit is on, however you may not spawn with it.

Hmmm... I'll use that as a last resort; I don't really wanna download GMod 9 just for this. [editline]06:34PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Sigfig;20939165]This doesn't make any sense.

Left mouse places a node and right click... does something else.

If this still works then how about you try this. [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=757458[/url] [url=http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=70844][img]http://www.garrysmod.org/img/?t=dll&id=70844[/img][/url]
