STool: Prop Stacker - Garry's Mod

[QUOTE=mcase6]Could the creator of this mod please add in the ability to stack different objects?[/QUOTE] PM him and stop asking the same thing over and over.

[QUOTE=mcase6]Could the creator of this mod please add in the ability to stack different objects?[/QUOTE] You can stack ANY object you're looking at.

Works perfectly! But there is a little 'bug': In the undo list, i can see all the 'ol_stacker'. But if I try to supress all stacked entities by pressing all the 'ol_stacker' buttons, not all entities are removed. But after that, if I undo by pressing my undo key, the rest of stacked entities are removed correctly. So, I think you use correctly the undo system, but the undo system detect sometimes you're adding a redundant entitie and this undo is not submited to the client. Even if that bug doesn't come from your script, maybe you can fix that by changing the name of undo you create, like: "Stacker 2 Prop(models/..)" "Stacker 3 Prop(models/..)" " ... "

I'll double check to see what's wrong.

The newest update messed this up for me and I need a patch I had heard about.

I must say, this is a Amazing tool. Thank you so much for your contribution to the community.

This stool is amazing... I Think it would be great if the stacked objects could maintain the modified properties (materials, weight, non-gravity and so on)of the original stacked object. Also if there was a delay slider for the creation of the stacked objects, some really cool animations could be done. Kind of a "revealing" of the stack. Just my 2 cents for future releases, thanks.

In fact I'm not sure why I didn't do that; I'm pretty sure I had the idea while making it but then forgot about it. I'll definitely add that. I'm not sure if I'll add the delay thing as it would require a significant change in the way the stool works, but it's a possibility.

I think I know where the malicious stacker came from. When I got gmod 10 plus thing that lets you spawn all those extra props the stacker came with it. Also wire, skin, and proximity sensor come with it.

i love this stool! its so useful seeing as entity command suit seemed to have died

Well that is just how I did it. Sorry overload for saying wrong.

IF YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS, follow the official directions posted at the end of the first post in this thread: [quote=Me][highlight]If the stacker stool is not working, check the following folder for a "ol_stacker.lua" file:[/highlight] garrysmod\garrysmod\gamemodes\sandbox\entities\weapons\gmod_tool\stools If there is a "ol_stacker.lua" file there, [b]delete it[/b] and [b]tell me where you downloaded my tool from[/b], as that means someone is repackaging my addon incorrectly and needs to be yelled at. Nobody should be distributing mods outside of addon folders anymore. :P[/quote] [b]Edit:[/b] It's no big deal GarbonzoBean - I do appreciate you trying to help.

I'm having a problem with it. i've extracted it into the garrys mod folder, checked that there wasnt one in the other folder. the tool is in the menu along with all the options of the gun, i see the ghost preview but nothing happens when i click. whats going on?!?!

Whats going on?

Maybe you've downloaded the wrong version like said OverloadUT above, cause I've downloaded yesterday evening this addon, and it works fine on my serv..

I'm downloading it from page one of this thread. I've downloaded, installed, tried it out and then it doesn't work - search in garrysmod/garrysmod "stacker" and delete all. Then redownloaded, installed, etc etc 4-5 times, from this thread. My wheel tool and dynamite tool don't work either >_< When I try to place the object nothing happens. Bah EDIT: Sigh, I can't seem to locate the spelling/grammar error in my post for the -26 smartness. Things just arn't going my way today.

[QUOTE=Zyphyras]Also my wheel tool and dynamite tool doesn't work >_<... when i try to place then i press the button and nothing happens. Bah[/QUOTE] Delete your garrysmod folder... you've installed something which fucked up your entire garrys mod :D

[QUOTE=Chaussette]Delete your garrysmod folder... you've installed something which fucked up your entire garrys mod :D[/QUOTE] This would be the best solution. If you delete the garrysmod folder and then run Garry's Mod, it will extract a fresh new version, and then you can simply add the mods back. Keep in mind that if you are playing on servers, it doesn't matter what version you download because it'll use what they have.

There is a version of this STool on the new downloads list uploaded by benjaminwalford. What is the difference?

[QUOTE=Kiastral]There is a version of this STool on the new downloads list uploaded by benjaminwalford. What is the difference?[/QUOTE] Could you please link me? I'm not sure what list you're talking about. [b]Edit:[/b] Never mind, I found it. I had it removed. It was the same version posted here, but I don't want it on garrysmod.org because then people will get old versions when I update it here.

Ok i'm installing all my mods over again (none from _downloaded :P)

all right then, ill try it then. i got lots of mods and stuff, and the best one didn't work...:( [b]Edit:[/b] Before I reinstall do you think it could have been gmod plus? I installed that before I installed the stacker.

I installed that before I installed the stacker.[/QUOTE] Gmod Plus does have my stacker included, but he for some reason puts it all outside the addon folder, so yes that definitely screws things up. Search your whole garrysmod folder for "stacker" and see if my ol_stacker.lua file is anywhere but inside addon folder.

I reinstalled it all and now it works perfectly. thanks for the help guys. and OverloadUT...Awesome Stool.

For a while (about 10 days) this was working perfectly and I thought of it as the most amazing thing ever, but then, for some strange reason it just stopped working. I thought I had downloaded the new versions, but I have no idea what happened. I click on the stacker tool, then it just doesn't stack when I click on an object. I still see the ghost object though. Does anyone else have this problem or a solution for how I can make it work again. It would be very much apreciated.

very helpful

Search your entire garrysmod directly for "stacker" and see if there is a stacker file anywhere except inside the addon folder for this mod.

This is very nice for BIG fort building.

[b]Edit:[/b] That worked! Thanks! I think I had a folder from the 2.1 version or something. But now I can make awsome forts again! thanks to you. :)
