Help with Garrys Mod.

[Flawless700]

I've been playing around with Garry's Mod for about 3 days now, just basically spawning and throwing stuff around. Theres obviously a lot I dont understand based on the look of some of the pics posted on this site. Can someone tell me how to have my people actually stand and not fall like a boneless corpse? Because thats whats happened.

and also if possible can anyone explain how you get these awesome pics made....I just dont understand how you do it with what I see from Garry's Mod.

Use the psy gun to pick them up, before you let go of the LMB, use the RMB to freeze them, it will freeze whatever your clicked on, like if your holding them by the arm, they will hang by there arms, best way to get standing is hold them by the head and freeze them.

I got a question now!

How do you slow down time? I know it can be done with a console cmd or something, can someone tell me how?

host_timescale

and there's

phys_timescale

Both default to 1.

I have a question too! How do I change the blur distance? I see some realyl cool shots where stuff up close is focused and then stuff behind is blurred. Thats awesome! How do I do it? Thanks!

there are like 5-6 blur effects - select item 3 (i think) and choose camera - then press e to change the blue distance

 

[Shadow][]

just press the secondary fire on the orange gravity gun while picking someone up, it should freeze that point

Also as of v6 you can rotate objects in place and push and pull them with "e"

Press e while holding back or forward and it will pull or push the object to you.

How do I unfreeze something once I freeze it, I dont want it looking stiff like it is, I want a genuine looking hanging person.

 

[OD-Black_Fire]

You left click on the part you froze and let go and it unfreezes. Or, you can unfreeze everything by pressing reload (default is "r")

Is there any quick way to position guns on guys? Because it takes ages to get the guys to carry weapons correctly.

Flawless to "unfreeze" something - left click on the joint/part you froze and it should droop down....

Milkman - give me 20 minutes ill find the commands

BTW - Milkman - once you spawn an NPC with a gun they are not a ragdoll meaning you cant throw them about -

You really need to stop relying on people for such simple information. Seriously, just play with it a little, all the joints move like they do in real life, you can figure it out on your own like 99.9999% of everyone else did.

I am talking about spawning dead guys through the Q menu and giving them a gun, The rotation axis is screwed up so you can't really move the z axis to position the pistol grip aka the bottom of the gun into the hand.

I have a question (Sorry for hijacking)

When I do my blur it dosen't actually blur, it is a green blotch over everything...

Pick the body up with the super grav gun and drop it, then it should work... It is annoying to do when you have litteraly a pile of bodies you just pwned with the RPG :|

Maybe its your graphics card?

 

[Danimal]

Nah, it used to work fine before but now it is screwed

But if you press "r" in multiplayer, all objects will unfreeze, including other players'. Some guy had build a whole house, and I was working with poses somewhere else. Then I froze some limb in the wrong place, pressed "r", and the guy's house collapsed. :|
