Can you use wiremod?

Kungfooey242 · « **Reply #22 on:** December 27, 2014, 08:10:31 PM »

how does this look?

the thing at the top spins at a pretty high velocity
Also, how will they fight since there is no AI system?

And one last thing, is this kinda how it's gonna be?:

This is only the first part. There are several other episodes.
Here's the one where the fighting actually happens:

No. Those are way too huge.

Basically you can even make your own arenas by using the props.

I've got Garry's Mod and have played a gamemode called 'Garry's Bots' way back in 2009.
I would love for more people to take part in this. And also, there are already some people who have made their own version of the Robot Wars arena in the map maker. No need to cluster the servers up with homemade arenas using the props.

Anyways. I'm in!

Here's my bot:

And my map suggestion:

I've even gone the full way to make some arena accessories, for example: The Pinball Warrior Tournament, so far I've made the ramp and multiball release. The barrels, sphere & multiballs are obviously there but they're not builds of course! lol.

They will fight while controlled by the user that built & owns the bot. Simple :3

wouldn't that cause some lag issues ?

That really depends on how good the server is and also your connection to it.
And also the bots people have made aren't that big so if we keep them at that size we would avoid lag to an extent.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #30 on:** December 29, 2014, 11:55:12 AM »

Okay. I have Garry's Mod now. Let's try to make some robots.

I'll enter the event, I've got alot of experience with Garry's Mod.

Here's a demo of my robot I want to enter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwdLRV89-Rg&feature=youtu.be

I can't think of a name for it

Badnik96 · « **Reply #33 on:** December 29, 2014, 06:15:41 PM »

Coincidentally, that reminds me of a robot in the video I found and was going to show...

I'll fiddle with some stuff in GMod tomorrow and see if I can't crank out a prototype to the design I thought of.

Codename is "WingRabbit" (yes that is a reference)

Badnik96 · « **Reply #34 on:** December 30, 2014, 03:34:43 AM »

DP, lol

It took 5 hours and two failed prototypes, but I have emerged with a finished robot!

no clue how heavy it is but considering its pretty darn big i'd class it in the superheavies.

Mouldy · « **Reply #35 on:** December 30, 2014, 05:20:47 AM »

Due to the recent interest, I have decided to continue with the idea.

Are you still doing the tutorial videos?

That's the problem when you get the freedom to build stuff, you can't think up anything to build, or think up a name for your build. LOL.
What I did was reference to what my bot was built from, for example it has an upturned bathtub on it, so I called it TUBthumping. Tub being a reference to the bathtub and Tubthumping being a reference to Chumbawumba, haha.

Poll

Have you joined the Garry's Wars server? And if not, why not?
