I thought props had to be touching to be welded
"Damnit bastards, how do you fucking fly..." :v: .
Being new at the time, I was told I could be in a youtube vid, playing a monor role as a guy who would just spawn some crap, and pile it up. Plus, the server had anti-Prop protection, so you could pick up and mess with other people's crap. I was sopossed to stack my props behind a wooden hut. Contents of pile: 5 wooden crates 20+ small props. FIVE EXPLOSIVE BARRELS 1 baby doll. Lets just say when those UNFROZEN (Yes, my props had to be unfrozen, for a car crash into it later), I hit a barrel too hard, and it destroyed most of the wooden hut, and and broke the 'debrie' peices* off a car. The video never was published. *Facepalm* *The debrie peices, were disquised wooden parts on a hand made car, for example glass and doors, which would smash opon impact.
Lets see... The most fucked up thing I did was ask"WHAT THE FUCK IS NOCLIP?!?!?!?!".
I didn't know how to freeze props, or ragdoll body parts, in mid-air with the physGun.
I didnt know about the Admin Settings in Single Player. Also, i didnt know about shift+e.
I did not know how to undo thing I kept using the remover tool
" why the fuck is Breen dead already, I ONLY JUST SPAWNED HIM!!! " (i spawned a ragdoll :P)
this was actually when i got the spiderman swep: "how i shot web?"
How to rotate objects with the Physgun, and how to pose ragdolls without needing to use the Nail tool.
[QUOTE=thisguy123;11780097]Tried to install mods by placing each indivdual file into its corresponding folder.[/QUOTE] Same here.
Tried to download svn addons file by file on web browser.
Didn't know how to rotate, freeze, noclip, or use the scroll wheel to move props. [editline]03:43PM[/editline] Wait, you can use Shift+E to rotate by angles?!?!? That will make my Gmod life easier.
"Why the fuck does everyone make shit out of errors?" Took me a week of MP to figure out they were models, and a week after that to figure out that SVN was the primary distribution of stuff. I already knew how to use it, but still.
[QUOTE=thisguy123;11780097]Tried to install mods by placing each indivdual file into its corresponding folder.[/QUOTE] Wait, I Do that. :geno:
I didn't know how to spawn props. And I kept annoying people by asking them "How do you spawn a damn prop?" Since they didn't answer I took someone else's prop and slammed it into them. And I got banned off a server with the reason, "Mingebag" :V
[QUOTE=thisguy123;11780097]Tried to install mods by placing each indivdual file into its corresponding folder.[/QUOTE] I did that for a year. It was so annoying...:sigh:
I quickly adapted, but I never knew about SHIFT+E in my early days.
I got in gmod9 I just randomly downloaded it. So I was in a CSS map. I was just there walking, I didn't know what the point was. Then I got raged and pressed all buttons and saw a menu popping up and going away. I was like, WTF? Then I met Q :)
Another thing. I got shocked when I realized the physgun's beam could extend/retract. And visually bend. X/...
The simplest thing I couldn't figure out was buttons and doors, I was used to wiremod buttons, having watched tutorials for them and didn't get normal buttons/keypads atall, I had to ask like six people before I was told what to do with it. <.<
About 5 months ago I downloaded gmod 9 and I did not know how to extend and retract the physic gun beam. And I did not know how to spawn props. Now I have gmod 9 and gmod.
With the camera, I didn't know you could right click and drag the camera around, zoom in and stuff...
[QUOTE=TacoNinja;16756845]With the camera, I didn't know you could right click and drag the camera around, zoom in and stuff...[/QUOTE] What? You can do that? Not the zooming, the dragging around... Wow, I wish someone had told me that. <.<
Only simple thing that I didn't know how to do in Gmod was the right click function of the axis tool.

I didn't know how to move, I unbound all my commands with the first addon I installed. I went all like : [b]'What the hell!? Did I pay 10 bucks for nothing!'[/b]
I couldn't 45 degree snap thing. I didn't know it was shift + E XD
i didnt knew the undo key i spawned like 5000 antlion guards and i was sad :( (i knew of all due to watching tutorial vids) [editline]11:40PM[/editline] except undo key ofcourse
I didn't know that the mouse wheel can extend and contract the prop from you.
I couldn't use Weld easy.
