Question about Gmod

[Doomcat]

Hello all, im thinking about getting Gmod to pass time till the next class update...im currently begging my mom and she said she would get it for me..."soon" hopefully this week.

so...i was wondering how meny ppl play Gmod and how hard is it to make working vehicles/buildings/stuff?

sorry but im exited at the prospect of a new game and it looks hard xD from the vids ive seen

I have it, played for 4 years. EXTREMELY HARD to make complicated stuff. Vehicles? Pretty easy and dumb stuff comes out of nowhere. Dont get stuck in rp though

i play, and well it depends on what you want to make, forts, cars, boats and stuff are easy, but the harder stuff like moving robotic dogs, are well gonna take a whiel

Don't know if it'll help, but we have a whole forum for Gmod discussion here

Hmmmm.....
Well ive played gmod for well...since it first came out back when it was...8 maybe 9.
Its a fabulous game, seriously a great deal of stuff to do
First off: BUILDING
It all depends on what your building, how complex it is, and your knowledge of how mechanics and physics work.

Simple things like vehicles and forts dont take to much time or expertise.
But say...a working walker, robot thing, that'll take a bit of time and know-how.
Now, theres more to Gmod than just building, I'd say 40% is building, 60% is crazy, wacky, addiciting, fun mods.
They have an amazing slew of zombie mods.
Some RTS kind of mods...i mean theres tons to name.

One VERY important thing to look out for...RP or RolePlay.
This is....dangerous territory. Its a....double edged sword if you will.
Tons of fun can be had, but theres a steep learning curve, and alot of patience and creativity required to be good at it.
Another huge factor, if you get into it, is the addicition. I got sucked into that hole, and played HL2 RP for close to 2 years. So you've got to be careful.

I wouldnt advise going into HL2 RP, its a dieing age, all the vet's and great RP's have moved on. Its alot of minge's now, thats why I quit it at the end of last year.

i am into roleplaying...but not in HL2 mainly because my parents got me into it. the problem is they're basicly blackmailing me into playing a game with RPing in it...i might try it a bit but i doubt i'll be hooked (i used to do SC roleplaying)

as for building stuff...can i go into a single player thing, build like...a humungo building or vehicle or something could i save it and take it online with me?

i would like to build a building myself that i can save and then bring online with me without haveing to rebuild the thing from scratch >.>

When you get gmod, your probably going to want like 100000000 mods and one of those mods are called wire and wire is the hardest thing to learn :[ but after messing with it, i tough my self how to use it.
