The new Wire Hydraulics

Does anyone here understand them? They don't behave as normally expected and they now come with two new values, Constant and Damping. All I know is that one of these two new values attempts to do what proxying the hydraulic controller through a smoother chip does. I am completely baffled by them. Until I figure out how to use them, I'll just stick to XQM hydrauls.

Haven't played GMod in a while, but I'm interested to hear whether they spaz-up or not like the old hydraulics did under any sort of pressure. Might come and play with them a bit if they're not spasticated. :v

Feck.

I guess I'll have to wait for a whole new engine and a whole new GMod for that shit to ever be fixed...

Or rather, there needs to be a game engine specifically designed to run a physics sandbox/simulator game. I don't even think that HL2 quite cuts it.

Well, the fact that Ropes, Hydraulics and Winches are all based on the tongue of the Half Life Barnacle is the root of the problem :P

You and me both... he seems to have an almost intimate knowledge of the inner workings of the source engine.
