Oh my god it's perfe- I mean I'm sure you'll do just as well as everyone else.
ALL MY WINNERS!
Here are some pics of my bus for the bus race.
My first one: (You can see the new one in the background)
[t]http://i.imgur.com/JK8J1SO.jpg[/t]
Turned out the chassis I made for this one was WAAAAAYYYYYY to light. Only 2 000 gmwu (Gmod Weight Units)
Of course, once I corrected that weight to a more reasonable 13 000 gmwu, the engine didn't fit in it any more, so I made a new body
[t]http://i.imgur.com/ixlSsxZ.jpg[/t]
I'm planning on the final weight of this being in the range of 10 000 to 12 000 gmwu. It's still a wip, missing a few things, but I'm happy with the body shape so far.

What you call GMWU, is just normal metric kilograms. Which is roughly 2.2 pounds. Which makes no sence. Switch to Kilos muricans!
When is this bus race to take place? and what are the rules?
Are these races a monthly event? If yes, there has to be a pod race some day.
Depending on the turnout for this competition, we may continue it next month. So far, response has been good.
The competition will likely take place the 31st of this month on The Pit. The time exact time will be announced soon. The rules can be found on [URL="http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1240675"]this thread.[/URL]
Hi guys, I'm building a mouse aimed tank turret and I'm facing a conundrum. When I use aimPos(), the turret works perfectly, but targets armor around me.
However, when I use eyeAngles() it "targets" properly, but rotating is a bit moody (in a sense of spinning like crazy while near the -180 - 180 step).
Would anybody of you happen to know the solution?
Internal ranger functions
[QUOTE=Unslinga;39303817]What you call GMWU, is just normal metric kilograms. [/QUOTE]
Ok, I wasn't sure since Gmod didn't report a unit, and I wasn't sure if the Havok physics engine was based on metric or imperial.
[QUOTE=Unslinga;39303817]Switch to Kilos muricans![/QUOTE]
Agreed.
EDIT: Also

As the person below you suggested, use E2 Rangers. And because that's not immediately clear, I will elaborate.
Use E2 rangers to replace the eye trace E2 does to get eyePos. The reason this will make a difference is because you tell the built in ranger functions to ignore your props.
At least, this is what I assumed he meant.
Also also, it sounds like your are running into gimble lock with eyeAngles. Are you using quaternions? If you have no idea what I'm talking about, a quick google search for E2 gimble lock or E2 applyTorque quaternions should clear it up and show you how to do it.

Thank you very much indeed! I was able to completely eliminate the issue. Have a cookie:

I think I kinda overlooked the visual component to the bus rac... I mean competition. Time to make a better bus.
Getting there. Slightly more realistic than my other one :P

This is just tangentially related to contraptions, but a week ago karb asked me to make a bazooka for ACF.
[vid]http://dl.sfcdn.in/download/l8EqmRSQ2gkRH-3EpCw54g/1358821710/82793a3138/gm_flatgrass_2013-1-22_01-21-25.webm[/vid]
But I think I messed up the reload speed :v:
(gonna make it so you can load it with 50mm cannon shells from an ACF ammo crate. [url=https://dl.dropbox.com/u/902553/Misc%20Files/gm_flatgrass%202013-1-22%2001-21-25.webm]try this[/url] if the above video is borked)
I really want ACF weapons for players. Tank battles are fun but nothing says hardcore like running around a tank trying to shoot it with a panzerschreck.
I was just wondering if anyone would know the best way to constrain this so I can move his limbs around without props misaligning. Just want an idea of what I'm doing before I get to joints.
Also, sexy biceps and a suspiciously phallic neck thing.

I've got a bus from Gmod 10 days but I'm not sure if it's stable for G13, adv dupe files seem to be broken.
[QUOTE=Adam Cabbage;39301436]Thank you.
Just a pain in the ass doing some of this without PA.
Correct. Hoping to do a lot more of these. Had a G1 Optimus going but the dupe decided to vanish.
I really have no idea what to do with it other than turn it into some sort of ragdoll for screens.[/QUOTE]
Why does shockwave have antlers? ... Are they.. antenna?
This is my bus. i do whut i want

this is the only pic i have of it on my crapintosh. some bug in FP won't let me post or resend the confirmation email on my desktop so i can only give you mac stuff. i may make a separate account for my desktop instead.
[QUOTE=Splambob;39309872]- words concerning bazookas -[/QUOTE]
I've been sniping breen out of his tank commander's seat for the last half an hour and I've decided this is too much fun to keep to myself;
[url]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/902553/Misc%20Files/xcf_2013-01-22.zip[/url]
The bazooka fires a 50mm HEAT shell at 200m/s, and the rifle fires a 12.7mm round at 970m/s
The package also contains a new ACF tool and ACF damage permission if you want to try them out too :)
(delete the acf torch first though because it bypasses the permission - i packed a replacement)
Guys, could anyone point me in the right direction as to where can I get the ACF-Mobility addon? I can't find it anywhere.
Mr. Jackpody, the link in the OP for ACF is still incorrect.
I want to participate too. :D
This strange creature.

[QUOTE=unrezt;39316853]Mr. Jackpody, the link in the OP for ACF is still incorrect.[/QUOTE]
I'd need a proper link then. I don't come into this thread too often but I read all messages here and I don't think I've seen someone post the proper link. but someone probably has.
Just noticed you have two ACF links and the first one is correct, my bad.
well then I just need to update the second one.
[QUOTE=Vicious713;39315924]Why does shockwave have antlers? ... Are they.. antenna?[/QUOTE]
They form a chin when he disguises, and probably antenna.
Gonna take a break and look into making a bus. Then probably get mad and quit when my angles don't line up.
