The Automatic Bouncer is a very simple little toy made with the wire mod. It consists of a vending machine with four wire thrusters on each side, with four rangers on top of the thrusters linked to their corresponding thrusters.
- Spawn a vending machine (or any other cube-like prop).
- Freeze it a reasonable distance up in the air, so it doesn't take off while you're building it.
- Choose a side of the vending machine and spawn 4 thrusters in each corner. (1500 Multiplier)
- Then spawn a ranger on top of all four of the thrusters. Set the range to about 200. Make sure you have it on detect world.
- Finally, wire each ranger to the thruster it's sitting on.
- Now repeat these three steps on the other 5 sides.
It works because when the ranger sees something, it immediately fires it's thruster, so you have a vending machine that bounces of it's own accord all around the map. I find that it works pretty well in Gm_construct because it bounces off all the background buildings.
Possible improvements:
- You could have a spherical version which would be alot more accurate, although it might be a bit complicated.
- You could mess around with the ranger's "range" and the power of the thrusters to get different results.
- Added by pantera101: From the PHX pack you could use window_dome360.mdl (2 of them) and from the cars pack, the airboat seat (welded in the middle) to make a "ride" out of it.
Try playing with it in different maps, you may get an odd surprise!
