What's your best contraptions?

Okay this is basically a "Post-your-most-awesome/fun-contraption thread.
Basically.
You don’t have to try to be better than anyone else or anything.
You don’t post unless you’ve made it yourself.

And myself,
i’ve made a thing called the EHWM. It stands for EPIC-HOMING-WASHING-MACHINE, and it’s a failed follower which turned out to land on its target with massive force. So i turned it against people and their contraptions if they were assholes, ruining my work etc. And it did the job and freaked them out massively.

I’ve also made a bridge some time ago, which i walked over some 100 times or so just because i was so pleased with it.

And i made a jeep-heli a year ago or so.

It was great fun :smiley:

Now post yours!

I made a machine out of 2 Stargates (one had an iris), some PHX props (so you couldn’t see what was inside), an E2 chip, a button, and some wheels.

it had a spinning base (1 wheel), which had a pole on top. The pole had another wheel which connected to a PHX box I had made (the box covering both Stargates).

When I push the button, it would cause the Stargate with an iris to dial the other Stargate (which was at the front of the box, just covered on a PHX plate).

I would some times wire it to start dialing with a Wire Ranger, so anyone coming in would get blasted by the cloud that comes out of gate.

It was good fun, especially when I put it on a block, and added wheels to the block (I could move it without the phys gun).

The changeable direction and angle made it great toy.

Awesome :smiley:
I also actually rated your post with the wrong smiley D:
Sorry!

I made a turret using the Wire mod that worked better then I could of ever expected. It could look in EVERY dirrection and was very accurate, and at the same time was very compact.

#5

My first space station, made out of PHX. It caused someone to be my now best friend when they saw it. :slight_smile:
The construction is flat, but the entire station has lots of views to see space. Features a Great Room, Diner, Lounge, LS Room, Docking Bays, and… well… I’ve been doing different versions using the same design. One had a Shuttle Bay. Another had a Ship Parking Garage, and another had a Small Ship Parking space.

My “Big Red” Spaceship. Largest spaceship I ever made. It’s sole purpose was to be a semi truck in space, hauling Life Support equipment between planets. Using PHX props, Vanilla props, and other props I downloaded from garrysmod.org. It, like all of my spaceships use hoverballs.

once i made the breen machine which was this fast car that was flailing breen ragdols

another time i made a Stephen Hawking that followed people saying gman quotes

and the first time i went on to my group server were all of my real-life friends are i made an fantastic wire auto turret and homing bomb and i kicked everyone’s but on the server ( im not a minge, they were my friends and knew the risks) despite having the game for like 3 weeks

lolz

A car that could go to Wire Locators, but also “see” obstacles in the way and avoid them. This is without any knowledge of E2, so it was basically a HL2 locker, with wheels, and pretty much every square inch of the top covered in gates. The fact that it often does donuts while trying to turn a tight corner doesn’t concern me in the slightest.

Things I Have Made:

Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots
A Flying Spaceboat (boat prop with LS and hoverballs)
An Actual Unsinkable Boat (Buoyancy Tool set to some number past 100, Keep Upright Tool)
Various Bases and Vehicles

#9

The best things I ever made where a teleportation car someone taught me to make and a mouse-aimed AA turret I found on youtube.
Both of which where deleted when I rest gmod.
And I suck at building, lol.
No seriously, If anyone is willing to give me tips or show me hot to make stuff thats actually meaningful, feel free…:frowning:

I made a car out of bricks, added a automatic turret in the back and went MingeBaggin’ on servers. Took me ages to figure how to do it.

#17

hmm… I’d say my best would be my rail buggy… second buggy i built with independant suspension and realistic steering…or…perhaps… all my buggys that arnt in the dreaded “bordom spawned” folder.
