Thanks!

I know it's late but I believe the problem is that you don't have an extension (propcore) enabled in E2. I think you can 'fix' this, in singleplayer only, by following the instructions on this image: image.prntscr.com/image/33WMdj9XSi2cHgA5L5R-CQ.png Although I recommend you enable them all in singleplayer. "Note: Most E2 addons do not register themselves as extensions and thus cannot be turned on or off with the above commands. A notable exception is the propcore extension in the UWSVN, which is disabled by default. Also, you must run wire_expression2_reload in order for enabling/disabling extensions to take effect." Here is the list of functions that propCore provides: github.com/wiremod/wire/wiki/Prop-core And setAng is one of them. So enabling propcore must fix it.

@@Georetic Thanks for the help! I'll try this later on

please reply :)

SimpleHoon still not working

basically do what I did to each wheel. And just keep doing it till its done, I will make a Tank tutorial w/ suspension as good as this.

Ok thanks.

eventually.

Hold SHIFT while you click.

Truth be told i'm not sure, I never really experimented with the numbers enough.

Constant is basically spring constant, it's how stiff the spring is. The higher it is the more force will be required to move wheels from neutral position and the more force they will return to neutral with. Heavier cars need stronger constant. Ideally you want a constant such that the biggest bumps you expect to hit will max out your available wheel travel. Damping is like the delta (or $) if you have ever coded hovering e2 thrusters before. It basically punishes and slows down high speeds, it slows the amount of time to return to neutral initially but then heavily cuts down the oscillations and springing around the neutral point. If you have no damping you return to neutral fast but then overshoot it and keep oscillating back and forth past it. Ideally you want higher damping for fewer really big bumps and low damping for many smaller bumps. This is because you need fast return to neutral if you hit many smaller bumps in sequence, but if you hit big bumps you need something that will cancel the large oscillations out and perform smoothly. You may want to look up PID controller- P relates to constant and D relates to damping. You can ignore the I bit, it's an extra factor that can be added which accumulates over time to overcome natural failure to return to the exact start position. It's not used here.

You probably didn't build north because I had that problem then I fixed the orientation and it worked

thanks

i bring fortunate news there is a fork of precision alignment also for some reason the wire hydraulic does work in multyplayer but it work in signleplayer

what's the fork? also i was trying this in singleplayer

ill try again in multiplayer if i get the time

@@13B-POWAH the offbrand version is called "precision alignment" and its made by a guy called GNU. And fork is when someone makes something makes it open to the public and some takes it and makes adjustments to it

attempt to callmethod 'SetRope'

I have the problem that Precision Alignment can't constraint an object to itself

Sorry man I've kinda stopped playing, and all I can suggest is check my description and make sure some of the e2 settings in the console. Otherwise I recommend maybe finding a different steering e2 or go to a legit build server and ask some who is much better with e2. :/ sorry I'm not of much help here. Tomorrow I will add another steering e2 to the pastebin.

+ZcytheGaming hehe, nevermind, I did the same thing as one of the comments below, I copied some ball socket values by accident. Awesome video, definitely subbing.

Did you ball socket correctly?, As for duplication, you are using the advanced duplicator right?

Advanced duplicator 2. My vehicle is facing north, and I have the exact same settings for the ball socket. I've tried to change the settings to see if I can fix it, but it doesn't work no matter what I do.

Then I'm unsure how to help, and I am terribly sorry I cannot. I wish only for you to find a solution.

Yes! I got it working. I decided to make it on the flatgrass map, facing the Flattywood sign (which I assumed was north for some reason). It decided to roll only sideways, so I realized that I wasn't actually facing north, and I changed the settings of the ball socket to fix it. It works now, thanks for your awesome tutorial!

Deathpuff12 Glad you got it working! Remember that on any map, the top of your spray is north.

Sorry to say, but I haven't messed with GMod since this video. Your gonna have to find help somewhere else. :( Good luck

ZcytheGaming you can press shift to wire multiple at once

not sure, but i do know that if you dont some things wont work.

ok thx

Glad you found a solution, I was halfway onto searching google myself when I read your edit. Thanks.

where did you find the solution?

facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1256001

"wire_expression2_extension_enable propcore" on console to fix. You could have copypasted the command here instead of telling that you've found the solution on google, not only it would have taken less time to type but also it would have been more helpful for other people. Also facepunch link got 404'd.

It has been over a year, and I haven't played gmod in forever. IF you're talking about the actual link not working, it is for me. Otherwise I won't be much help sorry :(

+zsolesz gamer Oh, Well either way it works, and it helped me visualize how it kind of works.

im just saying to make things easyer :D

I recommend looking up similar e2s. I haven't played GMOD for quite some time.

+ZcytheGaming ok.

nvm i passed the error code!

I'd recommend surfing the web for an e2 you put onto a prop. But i can't help right now as I don't have gmod installed.

ZcytheGaming I'm not entirely sure what you're suggesting i search for but thanks for the fast reply c: i appreciate it.

your baseplate needs to be heavier than the wheels

Thanks! One of my favorite albums.

Wiremod has been updated so the advanced wire tool is the standard tool now, the legacy tool has been removed cause it was never used

You do the same thing I do here, except for both sides of the wheel, look at the end of my ACF video for reference, though it's backward :p

If your car weighs 120 tons, you might want to reconsider your life choices.

What did you do wrong

i just re did it, i even slowed it down but it still sways

Go into Q>Utilities>Admin>E2 Extensions and enable all of them, Then in console type: wire_expression2_reload

@@professorboxtrot4922 thanks man

Yeah, use whatever means you feel to get the vehicle going.

Silverheart this doesn't make sense. If a chip doesn't work, it should just throw an error or something. I've never heard of a simple e2 chip causing a crash. And if your talking about the steering e2 that's not my chip, and it was made years ago. I'd try searching for a updated steering chip.

This perplexed me as well, as no e2 chip crashed my game before, especiallly not when i just copy the code into the Editor. ill go look for an updated version then.

nvm fixed it maybe haven't fully finished this part

nope still have problems

BUT this is an amazing tutorial either way! Best one out there!! All the others out there are wayyyy too vague. Awesome!!

Nvm actually... I got it. Awesome tutorial!!

Rest in rip idubs

I fixed it

Mabye make the car not heavy? And make sure the wheels and baseplate are significantly more heavy then the "body"

I'm working with a lot of acf engines and gearboxes guns etc, so I can't decrease weight. I've also tried making the body and wheels heavier, no such luck.

Umm... well i'm not sure, Making the baseplate and wheels heavier works for me. Also remember that the wheels must be lighter than the baseplate. And your baseplate needs to be heavier than all of the combined ACF parts attached to it.

That didn't seem to work, What happens is the suspension isn't able to support the car and this happens: Before: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=868000326 After: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=868000207

What are the the weights?

Nope, I just know how to setup cars.

+Isaiah Duarte How? Whats it say, Give me more information so I can help you, because it works for me.

the part that says if(replied)){ say("ITS JUST A PRANK BRO")

Oky m8, wanna go? I'll rek you i swear on me mum.. 1v1 me cod mw2

I will use my minecarft hacks -_-

+Bridger Johnson How are you having trouble? Like all you have to do is past the stuff into the E2, and save it. And update the list on the wire menu.

+Bridger Johnson Also keep in mind, that the pastebin has multiple codes, for multiple chips.

+ZcytheGaming i was being stupid sorry. lol. Also on the steering E2 it says "unknown character found (.)" the period after ball socket adv.

I'm not sure, The code works for me, I'd suggest trying to re-paste it and save it. I'm sorry I can't help you on this part.

+ZcytheGaming i have multiple times. can you look on your link at the steering code? the period is on line 46 on the page.

add me on steam trust me i can show you we will join a server and i will show you wrong

+ZcytheGaming toWorld() magic my friend

+Gamer_time What like e2 engines? Otherwise its all very similar just mess with the final drive until it works well.

Like a e2 engine.

Sorry don't know anything about e2 engines.

Home - Odyssey

ZcytheGaming thank you very much!

man, u sure that this music is Home - Odyssey? i was looking for that but i think its different music

and, uh, i want first music from second movie about ACF car

you mean addons?

I do not know how. And I don't think limiting myself will be fun in this game. (Not that I play it anymore)

Agreed but it was a heat of the moment kind of thing. I tried my best not to stutter, trust me you haven't heard the worst of it.

Mine works fine, make sure you have the right kind, Check my collection, steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=582472912

Same problem and i have the same tool as you.
