GMod Robotics Simulator

[Foda]

Yup, rumored and little known GMod robot simulation. This is sorta been my little child project for quite some time now.

Currently it runs on the Source Engine, which is powered by the Havok Physics Engine.
I chose to use the Source Engine because:

• Realistic Friction
• Mass, and Weight Physics
• Multiplayer Support (Networked Matches)
• Lua Powered (More of Gmod, not the Source Engine)
• Highly Editable
• Generally Awesome

The simulation runs on a custom map, built with Hammer of the Source SDK (you can get the SDK free by buying any Source Game off of Steam). The robot is then controlled with a joystick.

To run it, you will need Garry's Mod 10, from the Steam Service.
Then you will need to download This. Put it in your Gmod folder.

First, make sure that your joystick is assigned to numpad values.
Within Garry's Mod, attach repulsors to the bottom of your bot.
Then, attach thrusters to the sides (make sure they correspond to the joystick numpad #'s).
You will want to fine tune the thrusters and weight of the robot to make it work correctly.

This is just sort-of an outline of how to make this work, so expect this to be updated.
