[QUOTE=Zeddy]I always advocate alternatives to Wire. It's what Gmod was originally, and how I believe it should stay.[/QUOTE] I definitely agree. Wire is cool for those who can figure it out, but for the rest of us it's a bit excessive. And not using wire never got in my way of building cool things, it just made me exercise a bit more creativity.
I'm thinking about making the quantum storage device weapon. It will be a sort of grenade luancher that shoots quantum storage devices. Primary fire will shoot a QSD that will open on impact and suck in the surrounding objects. Secondary fire will shoot a QSD that will release the stored objects. Will this do?

i found out that if you use the tranquilizer gun on someone they can be absorbed by the qsd but you cant make them into players again and they have to commit suicide
This is pretty cool! (any chance you could make one that could be used to transport people? (like people online or NPCs? (I mean I think it would be fun if someone was chasing you and you just opened this up and released an antlion guard on em!)

Part of what makes the QSD really cool is that it kills everything within a big radius. If it kept them alive it wouldn't be nearly as cool. And if that backpack thing already keeps them alive then why would the QSD need to? Although storing Sents would be nice since the QSD can't do that now.
Bug: when i placed it and had it suck up a few things, it got shot and died. Causing a loop of sounds that got stuck on the user who shot it, i fixed it by changing my audio options so it may have been on my end. Did anyone else have this problem? Oh and it's really neat.
[QUOTE=TH89]Uhh excuse me this is AWESOME[/QUOTE] TH89 has... SPOKEN! Bow now. (although if garry posted here, well we would have to make a sacrifice.)
[QUOTE=vnwez123]Give it the power to suck in entities and vehicles.[/QUOTE] I just imagined getting in an airboat and getting sucked in. Fun with BSOD.
You wouldn't get Blue Screened. All that would happen is it'd get sucked in, you'd be trapped, and forced to respawn.
This is quite a interesting SENT! I can't help but notice Quantum Storage Device has the same amount of syllables as Hand-Held Portal Device!
Now we just need to make a vacuum gun. I wonder what it would look like to be in a pod while it gets sucked up...
I Ragdolled myself and got sucked in, and i couldn't re spawn so i had to rejoin :D
Awesome? This! Is! EPIC!!!!
I didn't like this...It was fun to use but IT DELETED all of my stuff. D: Not fun.
[QUOTE=AllyGrunt]I didn't like this...It was fun to use but IT DELETED all of my stuff. D: Not fun.[/QUOTE] Did you "use" the storage device again to return your stuff?
Unless he shot it, of course.
Sakarias, Will you make a version that doesn't suck up the props that it is welded to?
This really is nice, I redownloaded all the stuff for GMOD I lost from it, and its really fun ^^ [b]Edit:[/b] No I mean it deleted all the stuff in my gmod folder...but its fixed...somehow. .
[QUOTE=darkavenger3]I Ragdolled myself and got sucked in, and i couldn't re spawn so i had to rejoin :D[/QUOTE] That's why i disabled sucking up players. But you found a glitch. [b]Edit:[/b] In the new version i'm working on i can't enable sucking up contraptions (to lazy to explain why). Players will maybe be able to get sucked in and maybe vehicles to and the sound bug should be fixed. Props should aslo spawn as they got sucked in. It's aqtually quite trycky to get the ragdolls to stay in position (trying to fix it now). Yet i haven't succeded making vehicles getting sucked in.
It's a nice way to lose your base, but I can't think of anything useful for it. It just looks cool.
For players, why not just do a third person view of the object, like the ghost script, except you can't move it. Or just put them in a box, and add funky post processing, but that would be more like the LSD Storage Device, and less like the Quantum Storage Device... =D
When I saw this picture, I thought everyone would think the same thing. GHOSTBUSTERS! :D
I found it perfect I mean sometimes pointless but pretty good I use it on npc's that piss me off haaha
Honestly, I could totally go for a version that put your props back how it sucked them up. I know that sounds lame, but it'd be pretty sweet. I'd like both versions of that actually. One that sucks everything up and spits it out, and one that literally takes that chunk of space (Stacked Up Props), and stores it in the alternate dimension, and after reactivation, places it back out exactly how it pulled it in. Either way, beautiful work. It looks amazing.

Evil beer bottle EVIL!!
[QUOTE=AishaLove]Evil beer bottle EVIL!![/QUOTE] I agree. In the right hands (eg ME!), this usefu device is evil. I destroyed a large portion of my friend's incomplete space station with this. It was fun.
Very cool SENT. Also, if you want things to come out of the device like they went in, you should turn it into a sort of Duplicator that can store positions of objects relative to the center point of the device. That should also prevent too many problems involving things appearing in the ground due to the device being sideways. I have no idea how to do these things, but I know it is possible.
