[Gmod] Creating A Pill Pack? - Developers

Hello modders/developers, I just recently joined these forums and have a question about modifying Garry's Mod. Does anyone have a typed or video tutorial about how to create a pill pack/morph addon for Garry's Mod? I have searched the Internet for a guide or tutorial of sorts, but can't seem to find one. Does anyone have a guide on creating a pill pack/morph? If so, then please comment the guide on this post, or put a link one. Anyways thank you for viewing this post.:downs:

Sorry my man, but you're in the wrong section. Try the garry's mod section over here: [url]https://facepunch.com/forumdisplay.php?f=65[/url]

I am guessing by pill you mean kind of drug entities which apply effects. If that is what you mean I very much doubt there is a tutorial for this - the GMod tutorial scene is quite sparse. Good luck with achieving this though, I hope someone with more experience can point you in the right direction. P.S. This is the best I know of that sounds like what you want is Durgz.

Do you have any experience with glua?

[QUOTE=gonzalolog;52297540]Do you have any experience with glua?[/QUOTE] Not any, I never quite made a mod for Gmod before. The first mod I wanted create was a pill pack, but I have no idea where to start...

I don't think dealing with my convoluted system that I wrote in middle school is the best introduction to Glua, but here's my recommendation... Your best bet would be to unpack the base pack or one of the other packs and try editing them. [URL="https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=431638110"]Here's a guide on extracting addons.[/URL] In the addons, packs are defined in "lua/autorun/pill_*.lua" files, and the pills themselves are defined in "lua/autorun/include/*.lua" files. Just try tweaking properties and seeing what happens. If you do end up uploading a pack, try to base it off of [url=https://github.com/birdbrainswagtrain/GmodPillPack-Portal]this[/url], but make sure you use different filenames and morph names so nothing conflicts. I don't provide a whole lot of support for the packs anymore, so other than this you're on your own.

I'm going to follow your instructions and hopefully end up with what I'm aiming to create. Also, are you the creator of 'Parakeets Pill Pack'?

No, thats the other parakeet

[QUOTE=gonzalolog;52298091]No, thats the other parakeet[/QUOTE] Oh, ok then. I have been following Parakeets tutorial, but I have a model I want to use from SFM in Gmod. I was able to convert the model, but I can't locate the texture files. Any help on converting a SFM model to Gmod?
