help with addons

[mattmalteada]

hello
publish this to clarify some doubts I have about the addons.

First, you can save a plane (for example) that I armed with boxes and tables are in order with gmod, I mean to keep it and use it just as I did on another map, insert it into another map.

is possible to do this?

as is done?

second
when I change the structure of my airplane to fly, the controls are 8, 2, 4, 6. the buttons used when editing the properties of objects, but not in the plane so I can I move outside, but is there any way that the controls only work when I am sitting on the plane??

finally
can be made invisible addons??
for example: a chair in which you sit (are chairs that are already in gmod) is a way to make them invisible?
operate its properties but the chair can not be seen.

I hope I expressed myself clearly.

I thank you in advance for your help

I have no idea about your first 2 questions, but you can make stuff invisible by adjusting it's color:
If you choose the color-tool, there should be a rather big square where you select the color, and a smaller up/down-slider on the left of it. If you move this vertical slider all the way down and apply the color, the object should be invisible.

I think I understood the first 2 questions. What you want is saving stuff, right? There's 2 (good) possible ways to do this at the moment. The first option is Wiremod, which includes Advanced Duplicator. [url=http://www.wiremod.com/forum/installation-malfunctions-support/4-wiremod-svn-guide.html]Wiremod + Advanced Duplicator[/url]. It's known to make constraints weaker though. Also only use this SVN, don't download it off places such as garrysmod.org.

The second and mainly the best way to save your stuff is through Advanced Duplicator 2. It allows better saving and has a way better interface (and is faster). Not all too many servers use this addon yet as it is relatively new but it doesn't make constraints weaker, it saves your stuff as if you had just built it.

Remember to freeze your contraptions before duplicating them. If you have a lot of props you need to freeze, download [url=http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=110922]No-Collide All Multi[/url]. Press the tool on the tool list once you have it installed and check off if you want to have it to actually no collide your stuff. Hold E down, fire it at your contraption and it should turn green / blue (depending on which version of the multi nocollide you use, I believe the one above is green). Then right click and it's all frozen.

Have fun.
