Playing Around with Garry's Mod

We are going to begin work on a spaceship this week.
We are all brand new to Garry's mod which is a sandbox physics game,  and are really learning on the go.

Here are some of the things we have learned so far:
  • Use q to spawn items.
  • Right click object to freeze and use the e key to spin it.
  • Left click to unfreeze
  • Left click tool to use with tool gun and adjust the force.
  • Use v to fly.
  • To change model you have to die first.
  • Use the easy weld tool for welding.


These are some of the items we will need to use during the spaceship/rocket build. We may be missing some items. Can you find out what those might be?

First:
  • Download:
  • Space build addon (on the left in game modes (blue, space build 2)
  • Tools-page 2 and install life support two and resource distribution 2 in the top left
  • Maps- page two sb gooniverse
  • Find a large vehicle
  • Use link tool to link solar panels
  • Add storage cells and link them all and then link to the solar panels.
  • 1-air compressor and air tank
  • Add some ballast to stablise the ship.
  • Add hover balls.
  • Place thrusters on the back, front and two more one either side toward the front. Set the forward and backward keys as well as left and right.
  • Air converter and heat exchange
  • A seat on for the top
Can you stabalise it?
  • launch:
  • force about 5000
  • Select effects and sounds
Homework
Write a short paragraph for next lesson describing the experience so far. 
Add you suggestions to how to build a spacecraft as well as any items we need to add to the list.
