I got this thing of chucking darts at Breen who's pinned to the wall(which is my first successful ragdoll pose). Then I wanted to get Alyx, Barney, Eli, and Kliner watching Gordon blow Breen up with explosive barrels.

But the problem is, Eli and Kliner have to be spawned as Ragdolls, instead of NPC's. So I just decided to have Alyx and Barney as Ragdolls too.

I wanted to get them standing up...but I just couldn't do it. I tried using the "Statue" mode, and they still don't stand up on their own. Carefully I tried placing them with that new Gravity Gun...but they still won't stand up.
I thought of nailing their feet to the floor (literly!), but they fell to the ground faster then I could nail them.

So I tried Couches, to hopefully get them in a sitting position. That too proved futile as they didn't face the right way and kept knocking over the dang couches. :|

I'm starting to not like this thing. This thing requires something I lack; patience. (so don't be telling me "then why are you playing it?!")


I have been learning, alot. I've done my first ... somewhat successful moving object, using wheels. I've tried using balloons and thrusters on objects. I've learned how to use the 'Weld' tool to "take Breen for a spin", getting dragged on the ground, on the back of my Buggy. (and I didn't stop there. I added Combine to the line)
I'm learning how to use Ropes. And I know there probley a TON of goodies I haven't learned about yet. Like Pullys, Magnetic Objects, and other things.

And I just got a cool idea for de_dust in Garry's Mod. Me and the Resistance Forces as the "Counter-Terrorists", and the Combine as the "Terrorists".
The only things wrong with the idea is;
1. No bomb to defuse.
2. The Combine only move when they see the player.
 
dude.............
when u use the gravity gun(the one with the beam) click the right mouse buttin when u have it suspened it in the air and it will freeze in place the lace u were hlodong with the beam.........
 
Well, thanks to being online, I finally now know how to make Ragdolls stand up on their own, and not even need to make them a statue. :) So thanks anyway, halflifeguy, for your "Omg..what a n00b!!" post. :rolleyes:

But how to rotate objects and ragdolls on an axis (as I was seeing)... that's something I need to learn. :-/ In 1 very fun server I was in, the admin asked someone how to do that but he never got a reply.
