Mingebags actually acted normal once, quite a weird event that happened to me.
[QUOTE=Scrake;19061807]Is this only in multiplayer? If it's only happening in multiplayer then it's happened to me before. My menu stopped working because I had buttmod installed.

Did you say anything to them? Were you scared? Maybe the guy had VERY bad diarrhea.[/QUOTE]
it's in both mutltiplayer and single, but oddly not in sb_gooniverse. there im perfetly fine in SP.
A coupple days ago i was frireing tons of much rockets on Gm_Reaction, i fired the entire clip teh swep gives you; after being enilated a few times from the shockwave and radiation nukes continued to go off, along all sides of teh map, it sraded me a little so i chanegd the map.
Random invisible spazzing props o' doom.
[QUOTE=UntouchedShadow;19069988]I was online on rp_richlandday playing RP with others. Through my time playing, random stuff started falling on my head. I counted a flowerpot, a bucket, and bench, a toilet, and a soda can all fell on my head during my RP time. At first I assumed that some mischievous person had got himself on top of the roof of the houses and was dropping/ throwing stuff at people. But I dismissed this, because I never saw anyone on the roof and I knew no one could aim and perfectly time the drops that well. Which brings the question...who/what was dropping stuff on me?[/QUOTE]
Casper, maybe? Or maybe it was an expression that follows you around and randomly spawns things on your head.
I was playing a friendly game of sandbox on flatgrass, when suddenly the grass (not a holo, THE ACTUAL MAP'S GRASS) began to flash colors. it stopped, and from then until i restarted gmod, any flatgrass server i went to had that odd purple colored grass.
to this day, i still dont know how they did it.
Missing textures?
no, because a simple restart fixed it. i do know it's an e2, and that the people who know how to do it can change any texture's alpha to 0, crashing people's clients.

I saw a few servers with that. The admins would randomly start it up, usually during a big fight or something.

Exploit
I was setting up a base for a onslaught game with two of my friends. They went off to look at the skybox, and I was turned away from their base building my fort. My friends came back, then one of them started raging and when I turned round his fort had vanished.
I was building with some portal props and suddenly the creepy companion cube stalked me.
My friend and I had entered a random server where someone had spammed invisible explosive barrels EVERYWHERE. When I tried to crowbar my friend, things didn't end well.
[QUOTE=mini peanut5;19073919]im uploading a video on the prank but its not that good, it will be done soon.
ill put a link to it when its done[/QUOTE]
I watched the video and used it to find the location of the place in gmod. So I went to the location, and it worked.
[QUOTE=mini peanut5;19038942]on bigcity i was trying to find a building to go in and make a video. Tried this shop place and a large screaming noise blasted out of my speakers (which scared the hell out of me), i jumped up, noclipped upwards then killed myself... never gone on that map since.[/QUOTE]
Its just a joke made by the maker, because that building looks run down, he made a small prank of the building emmiting a Stalker_go_alert sound and forcing your player to jump backwards.

[QUOTE=LimEJET;19033972]I made an amphibious Jalopy once, same thing.
The absolutely [b]creepiest thing that's ever happened to me is the "dual worlds" bug in MP.[/b]
It's so fucking scary.
Also, one time all welds on a contraption undid themselves without me doing anything. Since I use Easy Precision, I didn't notice until I unfroze the thing.
Worst thing is, some parts were nocollided with world :frown:[/QUOTE]
Information?
Made a huge dick contraption that me and my cousin put thrusters on(randomly) and it all amounted up to, if it was pointed upwards and you turned on the thrusters it would slowly go up into the air while spinning around in a circle. Needless to say we duped it and filled gm_flatgrass with lot's of 'em.
Pretty weird coinsidence - since we placed quite a few random thrusters on it.
I was playing in single player, and I was building a platform to jump from. I jumped off, and Van Halen's Jump started playing. It kept going over and over. I liked it, but it was weird.
Wow this thread is full of dumb people.
thats probably because of the high percentage of 09'ers too
[QUOTE=SlickBlade;19206319]Information?[/QUOTE]
Join a multiplayer server.
Spawn a seat, nocollide with world, unfreeze and get in.
It only works on some maps (flatgrass, for example) and it doesn't work if you're hosting.
There's an entire thread about it on the Wiremod forums, but I cba to find it.
XobDans, you're an 09er. Anyways, The weirdest thing for me was when I was using my holo radar on a server on Gooniverse, it said there were 10 or 20 dead players on the very edges of its detection range. Only happened there and at the time there were only 4 or 5 people on the server. The odd thing is when I took a ship to investigate there was nothing there, even though the radar said we were right on top of it.
kk finally got time to post a link of the bigcity prank, its not that good because i only have the demo of fraps which only records 25 secs then thats it watch it here:

Scout having a siezure after i spwnd him to close to the wall XD.
He was flapping on the concrete at GM_Construct.
This isn't the weirdest, I don't think. But probably was one of the weirdest.
Working on my ship in a space map. In SP. This is a save game with an AdvDupe. The kill thing fixes the "NULL entity!" issue when using the toolgun. :smile:
Anyway, I'm testing my ship's flying capabilities. It smacks into this... invisible whatever it is. I tried using the Colour tool, nothing. Tried the Remover tool, nothing.
I'm thinking that they're ghost props that didn't get deleted properly from the last save.

What is with the monocles in gold members' avatars?

Hypocrite much?
Anyways, one time I made a bridge connecting the Twin Towers in bigcty, it was completed and unfrozen when it suddenly broke. I was on SP :o!
Another weird incident is when I was able to play Garry's mod for a couple hours straight and then close it without crashing!
I spawned a NPC: Metro Police with a crowbar as a weapon then he hit me, and it threw me out of the map and I had to restart Steam. o_O

Can't you read :P
I was working on a Hovering unmanned camera robot with experimental propulsion. I attached a wheel to it and welded the wheel to the craft, allowing it to turn with no thrusters. I then attached two small vertical plates to it, one with a forcer attached to it pointing at the other panel. I attached the forcer to a numpad input with a ridiculously high on value. I figured the forcer would push on the other plate, propelling the device forwards. It failed to move the first time, so I tried an even higher on value. When I pressed the numpad button, the entire craft vanished. I checked the feed from the onboard camera, but it had ceased to exist. I searched the map, but there was no indication that it had ever even existed. To this day, I still do not know what happened to my experimental propulsion vehicle.
I'd like to see more about this "dual worlds" phenomena. Are there any pictures or videos of it?

The problem is, a picture doesn't say much, and a video wouldn't do justice to the creepyness.
What happens is this:
When you go outside the Source boundaries (not the map boundaries, you have to go Off the Grid) in MP, the server gets some kind of hiccup. Obviously because you're not supposed to be there.
On some maps, this hiccup can result in you coming out at what seems to be the top of the map, giving the illusion that you warped around it.
However, this is very wrong.
If there are other people in the server, you can see the effects they make, like the physgun glow, but not their player models. If they are building something, their props are invisible to you, but not those constrained by rope-based constraints. Vehicles are also visible. Some times.
You cannot interact with anything, you just pass straight through it. The other players cannot see you as you can see them, and if somebody follows you down/up/left/right (there seems to be multiple worlds), you cannot see them at all.
This thing was a side-effect of the Wiremod.com "Void Exploration Project", which was based on making a map without a skybox, so that you get this trippy colour stuff, like if you set the alpha of the colour room on gm_construct to 0.
The team would then build a ship that could traverse the void, and see how far they could get. Not an easy task, since some people tend to crash when looking at the void.
The problem that finally stopped them was that props get invisible in the void.
At that point, though, someone had already found out this dual worlds thing, and it sprouted a new project, I think.
And, on that camera thing, remember Newton's Third.
