Prop Balloon - Turn props into balloons

(1/3) > >>

JamminR:
Description:
Ever wanted to turn something into a balloon without having to weld/attach balloons to it? Now's your chance!
Prop Balloon allows you to set negative or positive lift on any prop that allows physics.

Features:

* Use positive numbers to make a prop want to fly.
* Use negative numbers to make a prop want to stick to the ground.
* Use negative numbers on props to become less bouyant in water. For instance blue barrel at ~ -1200 (I forget exact) won't raise to surface, but won't sink to bottom either
Known issues

* Like Garry's Magnetize Tool, any constraints connected to an item you turn into a balloon _will_be_ LOST
Installation:
Unzip into your <drive><steampath><username><garrysmod>/addons folder.

ChangeLog:
0.30; - First release to Ulysses forums - Beta 0.30 - getting late, wanted to get it out the proverbial door.
0.40;

* Should now work on servers
* Fixed sbox_max issue (added a default limit .. 6) - sbox_maxprop_balloon
* Added text for hitting sbox_maxprop_balloon limit
* Corrected text for Undone.
Note:
Though I've long wanted to be able to do this (turn any prop into a balloon), general 'push' to do so was (can you believe it?!) inspired by a Facepunch request post

Do NOT upload this to any other download site. Though you may share it, please link to this individual release post.
When I've improved it more, I will add a download link that doesn't require registration.

Megiddo:
Yay! Was hoping you'd finish this up. :)

JamminR:
haha, so I'd stop asking if you knew of a way to get it to do what I want it to do in a simpler way?
Still not finished, but wanted to get it released before the weekend ended.

RynO-SauruS:
Sounds like fun. Nice!

JamminR:
Thanks to those interested, and to the one person so far who's downloaded it.
I tested it on a server and, oops... found that it wouldn't work..didn't set an sbox_max convar for it.
It should now work on a server.

v04 beta Changelog -
Fixed sbox_max issue (added a default limit .. 6) - sbox_maxprop_balloon
Added text for hitting sbox_maxpropballoon limit
Corrected text for Undone.
Few other tweaks I can't remember.

Still no constraint 'memory' - turning any prop into a balloon will erase all constraints.
