[url=http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=35455][img]http://www.garrysmod.org/img/?a=view&id=35455[/img][/url] Video, thanks to nater: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgRE2zzIcYE[/media] This is the Monolith found on the Moon in the book/film 2001: A Space Odyssey. It does very nasty things to contraptions that get too close to it... Licensed under the GPL. See download link for installation instructions.
Erm... What does this do? It feels like when I first looked at the Completely Harmless Companion Cube SENT release thread...
I'll make a video when I get home (hour or so), just because I'm nice. :) Plus, a thread over run by [quote]wtf does this do?!?[/quote] Sucks.
Try flying a ship or contraption within 1000 units of it, and watch what happens. I'll add the actual effect into the download. Also, thanks in advance for the video.
For a minute I was expecting a crystal that constantly speaks to you in russian, and grants ironic wishes!
It attacks you I think.
well it is the monolith.... did any one here read the book? god. any way, looks cool DL now.
Obviously no one read the book.
I could go on and on about Darkfriends and Aes Sedai and almost nobody would have a clue what I was talking about. Mind telling us what it actually is / does?
On second thought, now that I think about it, me and my friend got some...stuff, and we might be doing...things, so it might be a bit longer than I thought. :ninja:

Unfortunately, I could not think of a way for it to terraform Jupiter. Now that I think about it, this would be really annoying if set up in Spacebuild...

[QUOTE=Gmod4ever]Robert Jordan fucking owns. I'm on Lord Of Chaos right now. It's a shame RJ died. :([/QUOTE] I just finished Knife of Dreams two weeks ago - I want closure :(. If it gets finished, it just will not be the same. -- I have to try this when I get home, just to see if it's as epic as the wiki sounds :excited:.
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgRE2zzIcYE[/media] Short and sweet videos are my favorite, also great when you're looking for stuff to download. :)
So it unwelds props around it?
And eats the things that collide with it, I think that's it.

A nice anomaly for spacebuild(not just empty dull planets.). but it still just unwelds stuff, and eats it? any more cool stuff it does?
It breaks all the constraints. Welds, axels, ballsockets, ropes, everything. (At least, it should do that. It doesn't work on a couple of things, and I'm not sure why.) It also kills any player that gets very close to it. They'll be a couple more things in the next version.
A nice effect coming from the object would be nice, and an effect when a prop is aten.
Don't make it immediately break them, have it as a slow effect, that will do it at random using something such as the random encounter method for a lot of games. 1. Set X to a random integer between 64 and 255. 2. For each second [step] [in plains,] decrement X by a random integer between 4 and 8. [decrement X by 4. For each step in forest, swamp, or desert, decrement X by 8.] 3. When X < 0, unweld an integer of props between 2 and 15 [a fight ensues]. Go to step 1. Anything in [is the original part of the process, before being replaced.] This means that it won't happen every time something enters the field, but have a constant magnetic pull.
Rather than having a magnetic pull, what you just said would cause it to randomly break constraints around it. That's given me an idea, though...
Someone asked me to make a monolith SENT for my space anomalies, I never did actually get around to it. Think of it I still have the ZIP on my desktop. You really should watch where you post stuff, this should go in the SENTs section if you don't want to risk a lock/ban.
Alright, i read the book, and i can't wait to try this out
HAH! Now no one can get their shitty cars into my base!
Well that video whas useful.. Had to watch it like 3 times untill i understood what it did :P
[QUOTE=The_Funktasm]For a minute I was expecting a crystal that constantly speaks to you in russian, and grants ironic wishes![/QUOTE] GET OUT OF HERE, FUNKTASM! I swear to god, if Garry made "GET OUT OF HERE" an instaban phrase...
This looks cool. i will download and install right now. fun to place it here and there randomely on my server. i wonder how many will know about this when they see it. is this an admin sent?
