How to get to gmod

To install Garry’s Mod you first must have a computer. First, take a hammer and begin hitting the computer to make sure there are no bugs or spiders inside of it. You don’t want those in your computer.

Second, make sure to throw it at your nearest wall or sibling, either will do.

Lastly, smash it against your desk a few times to make sure it knows its place and won’t ever think about crashing on you again.

The finished product should look something like this.

After you completely destroyed your other computer like you were roidraging, and possibly maiming another person or yourself, you’re gonna want a new computer.

It should look something like this, remember the more lights it has the faster it is.

Make sure you DO NOT destroy this one, since it is the only computer you have and you probably spent all of your allowance on it.

Just to be safe, you must navigate your way through your PC and delete any unnecessary files. Make sure to follow this guide on your phone, since you don’t want any of these deadly viruses leaking out onto your steam account.

For example, you’ll want to get rid of this one.

This file is a well-known virus, and it is known to cause many crashes on computers.

Next up, you will want to find the nearest lighter or box of matches. I chose matches for this one, they smell really good and I like to inhale them on my off time.

This will please Gabe, when Gabe is happy, everybody is happy.

Now that you’ve finished filling your computer with the nice warm paper, get your matchbox and strike a match, inhale it for good luck.

Take another match and strike it. Place this match directly into your computer. It should begin warming up your computer with its nice warm smoke and keep everything cozy in there. This can be done anywhere in your house, for this I chose my bedroom.

I don’t know what went wrong, I’m writing this from my phone now since like every good guide maker I was following it as a wrote it. My computer stopped working and now it’s on fire. I’m going to lose my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ job at IGN

I am outside now. My room is on fire. My mom’s gonna kill me when she gets home.

I borrowed a phone charger off of some nice man who seemed to be sleeping, he wouldn’t move or react to me so I just borrowed it so I can post this section.

Somebody offered me a donut and I fell asleep for a few days, it was nice. But I woke up in my underwear near the mall, I don’t really know how I got here.

So now I have no clothes or food or a house anymore. I made a mask out of my underwear so I can try and visit the mall to look for my friends but they kicked me out and beat me up. I don’t know what to do next. I failed as a guide maker and I failed as a pro gmod player. I can’t take this stress anymore.

Valve’s Source Engine is one of the most versatile engines in the world, used by the company for its widely successful Half-Life games, Counter Strike and even the ever popular and extremely entertaining Left 4 Dead and Team Fortress series. With Garry’s Mod, you can do take advantage of the engine and come up with as many crazy scenarios as you like. On starting a new game you will get a massive sandbox with thousands of options and models coming from the many source-engine games and a wide list of community assets, all there for you to play with, manipulate and build your own little games.

Getting it is easier than you might expect and there isn’t anything shady involved, you won’t have to download some random torrent from a site and risk getting copyright notices from your ISP. The reason for this is that once upon a time Garry’s Mod was free. Then in 2006, Valve decided to add a price tag to it. You might be confused right now and asking yourself, “If that’s true, then is GMod free?” Current versions of GMod aren’t free, but the version released before the move to a paid one is. Garry’s Mod version 9.0.4 is still free, as are all the previous version of the mod, though to be honest there isn’t any reason to get a version older than 9 at this point.

Knowing how to get GMod for free is the easy bit, it’s just a simple download. The hard part is making it all work. Below you’ll find a detailed guide on all the steps you need to take in order to not only download Garry’s Mod for free but also properly install it:

1. Go to http://www.steampowered.com, the Steam Store website.

2. Download the Steam Client. Don’t worry it’s free.

3. Launch the client and create a Steam account. You could also create the account directly on the site.

4. Launch the client and log onto your account.

5. Download Garry’s Mod for free (version 9.0.4 as we previously mentioned) and install it. You can click here for the download link. Don’t be alarmed if you see it being a very short download as what you’ll get is a download/installation client. This saves you from failed downloads in case of an internet outage.

6. You will see it will default to your Steam installation folder. Leave it there or it won’t show up on your games Library in the client.

7. After installation, a pop-up window will open and you will receive a message saying you need Half-Life 2, Half-Life or Counter-Strike installed in order to run your free GMod. But don’t worry, there’s a workaround for this that makes it so you don’t need any game installed, which might be the case if you’ve never used Steam before and are following this guide to the letter!

8. In the Steam client, hover your cursor over Library and go into Tools. Scroll down to “Source SDK Base 2006,” right click and install it. It’s a simple 2.5GB download that includes all working files for the 2006 version of the Source-Engine, the same files present in Half-Life 2.

9. Now go to the installation folder for Garry’s Mod. Usually it’ll be “SteamApps\sourcemods\gmod9”

10. Open the Gameinfo.txt

11. Change the SteamAppId value to 215, save and close the file.

12. Launch the mod and enjoy.

There are some caveats of course. If you get GMod for free, you won’t be able to install any addons and you won’t be able to play multiplayer games. It’s a small sacrifice for being able to do whatever you want in Garry’s Mod. If you would like to have access to these features and the large catalogue of player-created content, then you might want to consider investing in the game.

Hope you’ve found this guide on how to get GMod for free useful and if you have any doubts or concerns be sure to contact me and I’ll help you sort it all out!

How to get to gmod

(This is quite frankly the most boring part because.. no pictures just bold text and writing but this may be one of the most important. nah looking at the good apps are but this is important too so just read it mate.)

First of all make the application when the time is right. When the exceeded amount of hours to apply has passed, apply then! But do it whenever you want. Don’t rush it thinking if you don’t apply as soon as, the positions will close because normally you can still apply but it’ll be pending so the administrators will look at it as soon as people have been promoted up the ladder to moderator or admin to even out the roles.

You don’t want to miss any staff reports because you don’t feel confident enough in that certain situation because that isn’t a trait to have whilst being a staff member. To overcome this read the rules, learn the commands in downtime or mostly in sandbox. This will help yourself in situations to become promoted or experience. And experience is always good and it separates the strong from the weak. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t encountered that situation or report yet. In the end you’ll have knowledge on what to do after. When I first started, I skipped most reports because I didn’t feel confident taking it and I thought that I’d mess up. I did mess up, quite a few times but I learned from it, I did and I now know what to do and even maybe tutor people in situations.

Server got a problem with your age? LIE. It’s the internet and everyone is anonymous. If you’re good at your job and what you do, you shouldn’t be declined because of your age. Most servers are looking for maturity and by giving you their age at lets say 12. It won’t show maturity in the number. Show them on the server doing your job. Work hard and you’ll be accepted no matter what your age is or your voice box.

Let’s say the application is an interview. No writing, no supports, no comments. Only the admin with a friend or if your lucky, no one else. The is quite easy, it’s just like a real interview so you’ll be taught most things at school (hopefully) on how to successfully accomplish an interview. However, it’s mostly the nerves that over come people but I say. Because you’re in your home home at the end of the day, be prepared. Bring water, bring an old fashioned pen and paper and if you’re shaking just take deep breathes. Be calm, the calmer you do, the better you do. The interviewer can sense your nerves on your sensitive microphone. If you are nervous, don’t be afraid to tell the interviewer because they’ll support you and your honesty. They’ll probably already know that your nervous anyway and by telling him/her they’ll appreciate it and you two can cooperate in a certain way. Also,as time goes on you’ll be calmer when doing the app and sometimes you’ll notice that you did better in the end than when you started but this is not always true. If ya want, nick ya brother or sisters inhala or something.

It’s important you understand what a good Application looks like in order to actually get accepted.

Now, you can agree that this is appealing to the eye, the format makes it quite fancy with it being in the middle and it does make a difference, it stands out. But if a server doesn’t allow colours, underline or use italics, anything to spice it up a bit.

Don’t be up the examiners arse either, if they ask for TWO paragraphs don’t do 10 fully descriptive ones because no one wants to read your life story. Go a little over the top but not to much to show that you would suck his ♥♥♥♥ to get the job. Don’t be cocky and do too less and say «well I did two paragraphs». They need to be descriptive paragraphs, no one word paras or a couple of sentences, it’ll be stuck on pending until you do update it, if your’re lucky. You’ll get lower expectations however and it has a higher chance of being denied because «you’re not taking it seriously» or something, just be careful.

This title is won’t get you anywhere😂👌.
Instead, use «Bee’s Application» or look up some fancy word for application like: \/

Now you can see how much time and effort he has put into his app because he’s russian you see? This as you can see is; too short, doesn’t follow formatting rules and if he was applying for russian users, it’ll have to be a ‘all language’ server or a russian one because this was an English ONLY server. It was nice of him to offer for free but it may show desperatness to become anything on the staff team. Anyway this is one bad app that you should know to avoid or deny instantly because this is unacceptable. Also, remember, you’re applying to become a Staff member, you’re not asking. Do no ask. Asking is bad and wrong 🙁

Here comes the thanking part. Thanks for reading this «Amazing» application because I haven’t wrote down what any staff member says to anyone appling anyway! :p Well, tell us if you passed your application from reading this because that’ll be funny and it’ll boost me ♥♥♥♥ ego. 🖕

-Anything I missed? Anything you’re still wondering? Got some questions for FAQ? Just comment them and I’ll edit it in because I’m nice like that.- 😏

How to get to gmod

Step 1: buy the game

This is the most obvious step in the process, seeing as how you cant learn to play the game without buying it first and installing it. Am I right?

of course there is a process here, first you would go to the steam store and type «garry’s mod» into the search bar, or you would probably find it in one of the suggestions.

you could turn back and reclaim what sanity you have left and get out of here, but you persist and click «add to cart» in the store page (or you add the game to your wishlist and wait for your friend to buy it for you). then of course you would enter credit card information/steam wallet code and purchase the game.

leave no addon unsubscribed. trust me, you will need these to join servers in the game and play with other people.

completely disregard the terabytes of ♥♥♥♥♥♥ five nights at freddy’s/undertale dupes/saves. Its never enough. completely obliterate your hardrive and download every single thing, all 27,000+ addon pages. this is crucial to multiplayer.

you are the youngest of the young, the freshest kid on the block. You are fresh out of the latest call of battlehonor 5 and you are ready to dominate the darkrp and ttt servers with your mountain dew, doritos, edgy puns, and warrior’s pitch voice

you leave no one alive in your tracks, you become admins on each darkrp server possible and you remind people of their plebian position.

should anyone challenge your authority, you demonstrate your warrior’s pitch voice at them and completely obliterate their eardrums from across the country, maybe across the world as well.

so you have joined the latest in quality sandbox server, ready to explode people’s creations with your top keks and obey caps. However, you’ve run into one problem, you aren’t a muslim. This is a major problem when confronting those noobs in gm_construct. Why? because you wont fit in

Everybody in the world at this point will know that no one, absoloutely NO ONE, not even the illumintai, has anything on islam. Islam is purely untouchable. they have definitely not record of terrorism against western countries and NO track record of massive immigration to said countries.

It also helps to yell «ALLAHU AKBAR» when jihading someone with the m9k c4 bomb, assuming you have the correct permissions to spawn it. Don’t worry, every admin in this entire game is kind and assumes the best in people, and wont ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ laugh at you for being a complete asshat.

you dont think you can honestly get far in this game without being bothered by the white male cis oppression right? No, of course not. This step is one of the most obvious besides actually buying the game. You must become a feminist transgender, reminding people of this is crucial to put the privileged white male in his place (ugh, god the worst word ever, «his»)

the main aim here is to completely wipe the rape culture and manspreading from the face of gmod. And make a new, female dominant game with male slaves to toil and labor.

so you’ve invested a year and a half on this game and cant take the saltiness of people anymore anymore. so you try to end this existensial nightmare by ending your life.

But fear not! there are new horizons upon the uh. Horizons! (nailed it)

I suggest playing another game like cs:go where gaben can make you bankrupt and you feel like complete ♥♥♥♥! its a wonderful experience! working double jobs has never been better!

How to get to gmod

Now when you open up Garry’s Mod you will be greeted with this menu. (im in a game though so it may be different with like pictures in the background zooming in then changing).

Now lets look at the main part of the menu.

Now you wont see resume game but when your in a map you will. But lets get started.

Start New Game: Will bring you to this menu

(you wont see all these categories because if you’re a beginner you probably shouldnt have any mods)

On the left it is the map categories. you should only have sandbox listed on it.

(also under it is a search bar)

To the right of that is the map previews/selections

When you click on one it will highlight blue. you can also favorite it by clicking the heart. on the right should be stuff like singleplayer and start game. if you click «singleplayer» you can change it to 2-128 player slots so that people on your friends list can join you.

The amount of check boxes under it may change if you set it to 2 players.

But before you start a game lets look at the other options.

Mounting games and changing game modes: Down at the bottom right you will see these icons. (besides return to game if your just on the menu)

The one that looks like a game controller will open up a menu to mount games (to add the games models and textures and so on so forth). But this will only work with the games it lists and you have to own them. nothing like cod or skyrim will work.

If you happen to own any source games (such as tf2 or csgo) you can check the boxes next to their names to mount them.

Now to the right of the mounting button is the language options. nothing really important here just click on it and click on the flags to change the language. and then to the right of that is the gamemodes selection (should look like this:

Now when you click on it the only separate option from sandbox will be TTT. this is a gamemode. we will get into those later.

Options: Now on the left of the title screen is a casual options menu.

you can edit stuff like graphics, keybinds and other stuff. but the most important has to be in the keyboard tab.

Click advanced and this little thing will come up. check the box next to «Enable Developer Console». The console is activated with this key:

Whenever a bug with a mod or anything else happens it will go to the console. this is useful if you want to try to pin point the reason why your getting so many console errors ingame. It can also be used for fun commands. you can go search up guides for those if you’d like.

Addons, Dupes, and more: These buttons bring up the same ui. but each one is made for their categories.

Addons are the biggest part of garrys mod. people develop maps, weapons, sound replacements, and more using Lua, the coding language garrys mod uses for modding. and best thing its all free. Some mods may require (especially maps) some games like counterstrike source and l4d2. you can search tutorials on how to get the textures for these things if you dont own the games.

If you click on addons this should come up (except it will be empty assuming you havent downloaded any mods yet.)

On the left side you can see categories for mods. buttons to see trending, top rated, or other mods (no search bar) and your friends uploads and your own uploads. and most importantly: Open workshop.

When you click that this should open up (unless you have steam overlay disabled on it, sometimes it wont open at all, you can try restarting steam or gmod to fix it)

This is the Garry’s Mod Workshop. The front of it shows the trending mods. on the right is the search bar, categories, and a button letting you look at your own. Sometimes the steam workshop search is really bad so you can use google and it works just fine just search something like: «garrys mod csgo guns workshop». and some stuff should pop up.

Also im pretty sure no viruses can be put on your computer when you download from the workshop because when you upload a mod it has a whitelist of files you can upload. and the only thing that a mod could do is crash your game.

Whenever you go to a mods page on the workshop it should look like this:

It shows the mods name, pictures and videos (if the creator added any), the creator, the rating buttons, the description, the discussions added to it (such as someone reporting a bug) the comments, the required mods (if it has any),

And most importantly: The Big Green Subscribe Button.

Now this aint like subscribing like on youtube. basically just means download. click that and it should start downloading. now if your ingame you cant download mods. if you want the mods to apply then you have to start a new game again. Whenever its done it should appear in your addons tab in gmod. if it doesnt then go back to the title screen then to addons again. you might have to restart your game for some mods like sound replacements and other replacement mods to work. It should look like this when you see it in your addons.

If you hover over it you can see its description, rate it, disable it ( if you want to use it later) or uninstall it (if you dont want it at all)

Now when you go into a game it should be in it. NOW WAIT I’m not done yet and I haven’t even taught you how to play the game. Lets look at the other stuff very quickly in the next section:

(you can also search up dupes/saves/demos in workshop and if you want you can click on the top of addon or dupe or whatever ingame to go to its workshop page.)

Dupes are player-made creations made with props and sometimes uses mods such as wiremod that they should list in the description.

Saves are where people add props or vehicles to a map they’re playing on then they save it so other people can see what the did to it.

Demos are recordings. but its really confusing and even I dont get it in the end.

In the main menu there is a «Find Multiplayer game» button right under start new game. just like this

when you click on that, this should pop up.

This is the server browser. It lists the gamemodes and how many people are playing them. It may take a minute to load them all and stuff. When you click on one it should show a list of the servers of that gamemode like this.

Now that thats out of the way:

Let me talk to you about the main popular gamemodes:

DarkRP: I dont love it, It is known for a toxic community sometimes but lots of people like it and you might too. It is not sandbox, but u can choose jobs such as a gun dealer, police officer, thief, and others. Its main keybinds (along with other servers) are the F keys such as F1-4 last time I remember F4 is to choose a job. Now lots of these RP servers have their own terminology. someone made a list of what most of them mean here:

I’m pretty sure the big part of DarkRP is making a base. You can buy doors so you can own a house. then add props to it maybe invite people. but you can buy money printers to put somewhere safe. in most cases it is illegal so you might get caught with one and go to jail. basically darkrp is a bad neighborhood.

TTT (short for trouble in terrorist town): Its a fun gamemode to play online and with friends. I mean gmod even comes with TTT. Its like murder mystery but everyone has a gun. Let me explain: 1 or more people are selected to be a traitor (bad guy) and 1 other person selected to be a detective. the rest are innocent. not much to it but it can be really fun.

Sandbox: its just sandbox maybe with a different map and little mods, if there is any mods it would probably be tools, and vehicles.

Now that thats over lets ACTUALLY PLAY gmod

Now Lets start playing gmod. Just go start new game in the title screen, click on the map you want, and then click the blue button saying start game. It will load until you’re in the game. Tada! You’re in! (map is gm_bigcity)

You should already know how to move. if you dont, god help you. and please dont use controller. it works but its more of a meme than a serious way to play. With that out of the way lets get to the point.

The thing you’re holding is a physics gun. it can pick up props and other things, and freeze them midair. pressing your numbers 1-6 will go through your hotbar, or scroll wheel. you may see you have other things too like weapons, but heres the important ones:

The tool gun is used to apply different constraints to props and other things. such as welding stuff together.

Camera is just a screenshot camera. Left click to take a picture. (hold right click and move your mouse to zoom in! R to reset)

Pressing V is to noclip (flying if you will). (hold CTRL to go slow while in noclip)

now heres the big part.

The Spawn Menu: By holding q, or pressing F1 will bring up the spawnmenu. now this is where you spawn stuff like weapons, ammo, entities, props, NPC’s, dupes. And the place where you select the tools for your toolgun and change the settings for the server such as cleaning up all props or turning off spawning with guns and only spawn with the important things.

Now spawn a prop by clicking on one of the icons you see (it will spawn where your looking)

Then you will see it where you spawned it! (press f for flashlight)

Hold left click to grab the prop like this

if its a small prop like a can, you can pick it up normally with your hands by pressing e (right click to drop, left click to throw, E is the main use key. so you can press it to open doors or press buttons)

now back to the physgun, if you hold e and move your mouse while holding it, it will rotate. if you hold shift while rotating it, it does snap rotation which is good if you want something to be precise.

you can also push it away from you/pull it towards you with the scroll wheel.

To freeze it mid air, Rightclick while holding it. Now it is frozen midair!

Then you can grab it again to unfreeze. (Or press r to unfreeze all the constraints connected to it. with ragdolls it would unfreeze all the bones)

Now that thats out of the way, lets talk about.

The Tool Gun: This will be what will bring your creations alive. If you go back to the spawnmenu (hold q or press f1, last time ill say this) on the right of all the props you should see all these words.

again, you will see less because I have more mods. but lets talk about the important ones, and the less known ones.

Weld: This tool is probably most iconic. or im just dumb. It is the most useful for creating contraptions.

Click on it and this will pop up to the right of it.

The slider in the settings basically controls how much force is needed to break the weld. zero makes it unbreakable.

Spawn another prop. if you spawned the wrong prop you wanted then you can press Z to undo whatever you have just done, such as spawning a prop, an npc, and tools constraints you’ve made etc. (you can weld it to the map too! like the ground. also welding doesnt work with npcs)

if you clicked on the weld tool in the spawnmenu your toolgun should’ve been equipped. if not just switch to it.

If you click on one of the props then click the other prop they will have a rigid connection. no matter how far away they are.

You just welded something! cool! you can also press R with the weld tool and other tools to remove any weld/other tool constraints from the prop you’re looking at. remember you can press Z to undo (last time im saying this)

heres some other tools that are very simple:

Balloon Tool: Left click to spawn ballons, in the spawnmenu you can select the balloon model (The other balloons are from my balloon mod)

Remover tool: click on what to remove. press R to remove all constraints to the prop your looking at

Dynamite tool: spawns dynamite with left click, or update the settings by left clicking on an existing dynamite (this works for all tools that spawn a object like balloons but for wheels its rightclick to update)

Button tool: left click to spawn a button, right click to spawn one without it being welded to the ground,
label is the words that appear when you hover over it, key to simulate is like if your dynamite is numpad 1, you put numpad 1 for the button. E is to use (last time im saying that)

Rope, and Elastic Tools: Left click somewhere for the first point, then left click again somwhere to the second point. this works with everything besides npcs.

Light Tool: left click spawns a light, right click spawns a light without a rope,

Lamp Tool: Left click spawns a lamp, right click copys the settings of a lamp.

Inflator Tool: holding left click inflates the bone of a ragdoll, right click deflates the bones, (we will get to ragdolls soon)

Color: Left click Colors stuff, to make something transparent set the slider to the left of the rainbow slider all the way down.

Camera Tool: Left click spawns a camera, while looking at an object or anything else right click to make a camera that always looks at that object

Material Tool: Choose a material in the spawnmenu then you left click on a prop or anything else to change it to that material.

NoCollide Tool: Left Click on one prop, then left click on another to make them not collide with eachother, right click to make it not collide with anything.

Thruster Tool: Left click spawns a thruster, basically a rocket jet, attach it to a prop, press the keybind, and watch it go.

Now that thats over, lets make our first car. but since there is many tutorials on that out there, heres one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9SzrVU0Ojg
(I know his mic sucks or whatever but it actually works, starts at 33 seconds) (if the wheels dont work respawn them)

Ok so lets get on with other stuff we can spawn.

On the left side of the spawnmenu will be the spawn lists,

If you mounted any games beforehand like I taught you how, you might see the games name then stuff under it (star wars is a custom one I made, there are tutorials on how to do it), Lets start with the top.

Construction props is where you start off on, comic props is the same but with more stuff like trash, chairs, and tables, and other small stuff or whatever. Garrys mod is just where u find some of gmods own props.

_____________
|
Quick thing here, if you spawn a prop and it has a green circle around it like this:

then thats an effect. its a prop without any collisions or physics.

back to spawnlists, now under all of that is the builder tab, this is VERY important if you want to make something like a house or etc. click on plastic and it will bring you to all of it.

At the very bottom of the spawnlists, there should be something saying addons. press + on it then if you downloaded any mod that has a model, like an npc, its name should appear there
Now lets talk.

Ragdolls: They arent living! but they are funny as heck. you can try spawning them first under half life 2, then characters:
Click on one of them to spawn them.

The upper torso is the best bone to grab to put him up straight

Pose him how you like and we will go on to.

Face/Eye/Finger Posing: You see it in the pictures on the store page. the stupid lookin’ faces on the ragdolls. Well the magic is in the posing tab in tools.

Lets start with the face poser. you can right click any part of the ragdoll to bring up an orange circle around the ragdolls head, in my view it will be green because of a mod.

Now lets quickly talk about.

The Context Menu: The context menu is turned on by holding C. if your doing this while you just put the orange ring around the ragdolls head, you should see the settings for the faceposer, but other stuff too especially on the top left.

Drawing will open up the list of things you can make visible, invisible.

NPCs will open up the list of npc options. Disable thinking turns of the AI. basically makes the NPCs not do anything. (we will get to npcs soon)

Now playermodels is where you change your character.

It may look different because I have an enhanced version for it. but its all the same idea. Choose the playermodel you want. then you have to die to let it apply. you can change the color of your physgun and change the color of your player too in the color tab.

Now you’ve succesfully changed your playermodel! Alright back to faceposing. the best part of the context menu is that if u have a tool selected it appears as another thing to the side while ur in the context menu. and that makes it easier to facepose.

This is the faceposing menu

The sliders control the mouth flexes and the very top slider controls the power of the posing. the icons of the mouths and stuff are ok presets. and real presets are at the top. click on it to open the preset drop down. to make your own preset, click the green plus, to edit one, click the wrench next to it.

Congrats! You just faceposed a ragdoll! now for.

Eye posing: The eye posing tool controls both eyes. left click on the head and green lines will appear. the center of your screen is where they will look.

But right click is alot easier. it makes the eyes turn in the direction you are. (it doesnt follow you, it just does it once and the eyes stay there.)

*TIP! if you noclip inside a ragdolls head then rightclick with eye poser it makes them crosseyed!*

Finger poser: The finger poser obviously controls the fingers. you can right click to select what hand and then open the context menu again using C (last time im saying this)

Now their may be no dots on the rest of the fingers on the image on the finger pose settings, thats because the ragdolls other fingers are just one bone, dont blame me, blame valve, other ragdolls like Breen have all the fingers though. But it still works. Drag the points on the hand to pose.
Now you just finger posed him! Hurray!

Lets go onto the Next section

Now for the rest of the spawnmenu.

you may see less tabs.

Weapons is where you find the weapons ofcourse.

Half life 2 is probably the only tab you have, unless you got a weapon mod. you can spawn them by clicking, or give them to a friend by right clicking one, and spawning with toolgun. if u spawn multiple under you it gives you ammo. and thats basically it for weapons tab.

Entities is where you find entities. Entitys are basically props but with more functions and other stuff too. its where you find the bouncy balls (which you can eat by interacting with them and it gives you health). and hl2 ammo.

Now the NPCs tab is where it gets fun. these are basically bots, and you can do alot with them. make combine and the rebels fight, so on so forth. the scanner, shield scanner, manhack, and the rollermine are the only npcs that can have constraints on them.

Vehicles is the tab where you find the half life 2 cars, and the seats. you cant freeze the jeep midair.

Post processing is the tab where you can add effects to your game. such as dof, overlays, and other stuff.

Saves is where you can save your game. Go to it then click save game to save it you can hover over it to publish it. you can now go to that save game any time. and on the left you can click on the stuff like top rated and currently popular

And then there is.

Dupes: This is where you can save, and publish your contraptions! And the best place to find fun contraptions! To save a dupe, you get the duplicator tool out, right click your contraption, then go back to the dupes tab in the spawnmenu then save dupe! just like saves you can publish them. Wiremod is a great mod to learn on how to make stuff like more detailed cars and contraptions. also good so that whatever mod uses it, you will be able to use it because you have wiremod installed! just hover over the dupe you want then click deploy and left click where you want it to spawn!

Now lets go on to.

Server options and utilities: This is very good to use if you want extend the prop limit, clean up all entities, props, etc.

It should be to the top right of the spawnmenu these two.
Options is where your mod settings are normally if you have any.

Utilities is where all the server/user settings are. (and also mod settings)

Under user you can cleanup all the things and/or specific things that you made. physics gun settings controls is self-explanatory. Undo lets you undo specific things you’ve done.

Under server cleanup lets you cleanup everything in the server/specific things in the server.
I honestly dont know what the physgun settings thing is for server.
Sandbox settings lets you set the limit for how many props there is, lets you disable weapons, and lets you turn off weapons on spawn but keep physgun, toolgun, and camera. and etc.

Server setting lets you mess with the players gravity/friction and other things.

Whenever you’re in the context menu, you can right click a prop and this menu will come up.

Remove removes it.

Drive moves the prop around with w,a,s,d like its in noclip.

Disable collisions disables its collisions with everything but the world.

Unchecking gravity makes it have no gravity (no gravity is good for ragdolls)

Keep Upright depending on what rotation your prop is will make it so it wont fall over/turn depending on what you rotated it to. I could be a bit wrong though.

Ignite lights it on fire.

If you do this on an npc I’m pretty sure you can biggify/smallify it which changes its size.
