As an early Christmas present for all of you visiting Benie’s Builds, I’m back building contraptions, hard at work at something really awesome. And this one, I think I’m going to release it.<\/p>\n
It’s a Mini-Sub. Made out of mostly Tiled and alittle bit of PHX. It’s design is similar to the first sub I’ve built back in Gmod 9, where I used balloons to control the buoyancy.
\nWell, thanks to Matty and his expertise in Wire(yes. Wire ruins Gmod again), he made me a ‘custom-made Ballast Tank'(actually, anyone can do this) for a much longer sub I’ve been working on in angry’s server, and my server as well.
\nIt uses two counter-weights, attached to the sub’s surface stabilizers(a tradition that started in Gmod 9 to keep the sub from wanting to “DO A BARREL ROLL”).
\nWith some wiring, using an Advanced Input, and a HUD Indicator, I can control the negative\/positive buoyancy to make the sub sink\/rise. MUCH… much easier than balloons, and more realistic than hoverballs.<\/p>\n
As for the door, it has a rear door with a weld latch. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get the round door to work right with hydraulics without spazzing or flipping around. I would need to use an Adv Ballsocket, and I kinda suck at them.
\nThis is why I’m holding off on the release until Matty and myself get out the bugs with this sub, and it has plenty([i]everything[\/i] made in Gmod doesn’t come without bugs). Such as, the front rising with the rear going down, and forward\/reverse propulsion is fucked up, with the sub taking a nosedive when I go forward, no matter where I put the thrusters in the back.<\/p>\n
There’s also a few features I wanna throw in before I release. Such as a display showing how deep in units the sub is(not sure if you can convert Gmod Units into Feet).<\/p>\n
But anyway, it will be the first ever released contraption on Benie’s Builds.com. If everything goes right, expect a release sometime this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
