I was struggling between putting this in the Sprites and Artwork section or here, but it doesn't matter.
So, Gmod. A great thing. I'm planning on buying Gmod 10 soon, but I first have to find a way to put my paper monies on the internet so that I can get it properly. In the meantime, I've been amusing myself with Gmod 9. In this topic, I'll probably mostly be putting up images of contraptions i've made, and then telling you how to make them as well.
First off, how about a death trap. This one's not very sophisticated, but somewhat resembles the traps set in Ravenholm by Father Grigori. Imposing, eh what? The wall of dumpster lids is to block your view of my "wall of shame", which I sprayed with all sorts of paints and textures to see what they looked like before I used them on other things. That thing way up in the air above the brick building is a pressurized canister which flew up and stuck there in the corner of the map after I accidentally shot it.
More to come in later days.

This time, I built a cannon of sorts.
It's just a couple of deck poles welded to a blast door with some dynamite at the end. I used the physprop "ice on ice" for the deck poles so that stuff would slide off of them easily. The space between the deck poles makes metal barrels fit great. I shot it a few times at a wall of wooden fences. The picture I took happened like a millisecond before the fence broke. Something must've gone wrong with the welding on the cannon, because when I tried to move it, it began jumping around and even crushed me a few times. OH WELL.

Making that first cannon gave me plenty of ideas for other ones...!
This one's a little bit more versatile, and looks more like a conventional cannon. I welded a concrete tube to a blast door, which I hinged to the ground with a pair of ball joints. Dynamite at the end of the tube, and it's all ready. The only downside is that it can't really be moved around. It was still fun to fire stuff out of it though.
I filled it with watermelons and stood back a ways before firing. Even without targets, the result was still quite a sight. I might post a few more pictures of this cannon firing things later on, because it's my fvrt now.

I ain't got much in way of screenshots yet, but here ya go.
Also, I reversed gravity and spawned a tower of fast zombies.

I made a decent cannon. Screwed around with it.

Take those .rars and slap them in whatever your location would be instead of kefkaeatsbabies.

I started playing around with Gmod 9, and then I decided what the hell, and bought 10. It's just ten more bucks. It seems worth it, since there's more you can do. Perhaps I'll post screenshots if I do anything worth taking screenshots of!

face poser is too fun.

All time barrel stackery (me). This was without using the sticky function.

Mets and I were having way way too much fun last night. Victories include the hovercraft plane, the box of prison doors, the lololololololololololol zombie, and cruel melee.

lets hear it for the barrel missile

more of the barrel missile

So I got around to learning how to use that new-fangled wire mod, and one of the things I did was make a glass door that opens automatically.
The door is constrained with sliders and an invisible hydraulic. As you can see in the first picture, it is normally closed, but when a player gets closer, it slides open.
The last picture is the wiring arrangement. Basically how it works is the player's distance is measured (by the box and the hula doll outside) and when it is less than a constant, the length of the hydraulic is lowered by a certain amount. It's a simple thing, but the spread of electronics on the wall is quite impressive.

HOO HA

YEE HAW
I put a portal sphere into the tub, and set off the dynamite. It launched it to the lake most of the time.
I even stood inside the tip of the cannon and fired, the ball killed me and nearly got me to the lake.
