File: Yet Another Adv Dup Drop Pod
Version: 0
Garrysmod.org URL: http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=112247
Description: I'm sure you know the concept by now, seeing as these things are everywhere. The reason I made mine is because I needed a modular, independent, durable, and vanilla (mostly) drop pod for a bigger spacebuild type ship I'm making, and i think i lived up to my own expectations. I am aware of the awesome entity version of this, but, when i release my ship in the future, i don't want an obscure sent on the requirement list. Therefore, this only uses mods almost everyone has.


This dup uses a lot of wire and had quite a few, and probably unnecessary, bells and whistles, including but not limited to:

Automatic impact dampening thruster sequence

Alarms, alarms everywhere.

Automatically separating doors

Simple ballast system, instead of overly complex gyroscopic stabilization

Weld latch to hook thingy for easy mounting


Directions: affix the orange robotic foot hook thingy at the top to something solid, like the world, unfreeze the rest, then get in.


Required Mods:

Latest PHX

Latest Wire


Controls:

Space to Drop (DON'T PRESS IT AGAIN *SERIOUS FACE*)

Left click for boost

Right click for brake

...And the rest is automated


Known bugs you can bitch about that i probably won't do anything about:

Pod coming to rest at a jaunty angle after rotating

Huge shadow being cast after the doors jettison

Not anchoring right/falling over


I originally made this thinking there was only the entity version of the ODST drop pod, but discovered otherwise half way through the 3 hours it took to make this. Oh well, unknowing reproduction is the only kind of originality left anymore, right?


And yeah, its not the prettiest dup ever, but i went for functionality over nifty textures.
