Elastic

From GMod Wiki

Tool

Back

Type:	Constraint tool
Primary fire:	Place elastic end points
Secondary fire:	N/A
Notes:	Creates a stretchy rope between two points

Brief

Creates a rope with a set length that can be stretched and will attempt to return to its original length when released.

Instructions

1. Click on any entity or the map to place one end point
2. Click on any entity or the map to place the second end point

Attaching elastic between two points on the map has no physical effect. The elastic itself is not a physical object - it is merely a representation of the constraint, meaning that it will not wrap around objects, etc.

Variables

Elastic Type

Determines what the elastic looks like.

Width

How wide the elastic appears.

Add Length

Adds slack or tightens the elastic when it is created (positive or negative, respectively).

Force Limit

The amount of force (in pounds) that it takes to break the elastic.

Rigid

Toggling this makes the elastic act more like a spring. It will attempt to stretch out when compressed.

Useful hints

• Elastic is the "safest" constraint in the game in that it almost never causes a black hole effect or spazzing. If possible, substitute rope for elastic in your contraptions for greater stability.
