I’m not sure if this has been suggested, but the ability to place Hidden Seats on physical workshop objects, or any physical object that can be picked up, and have them attached to each other. So when someone sits in the physical object, and you MOVE the object, the seat moves with it.
also to allow the workshop’s physical object to be affected by the flow of water.
an example of this is the classic Resort Condo with the lazy river by the pool. the idea to allow physical objects to float around that AND be able to make actual rideable inner tubes would be pretty stellar. Not only that but this will also make it to where you can create rideable things like rockets and such. Just a suggestion I’m not a coder or anything so I’m not sure how complicated this would be but the idea is pretty cool and I figured i’d come in and just throw it in the suggestions.
I understand that you might be a visual learner, so I’ll show you that this is something that I have already tried before I decided to make a suggestion.
Just click here, and you’ll see in this less than one-minute video demonstration that this simply does not work.
Summary
Grouping a hidden chair with a physics objectdoesn’t allow the chair to move with the object when it’s picked up.
It only manages to move around with the physical object when editing the object’s location using the editor.
When the object is moved in gameplay instead of the editor, the object moves, but the chair remains in place.
Excuse me, I missed the part where you said mover.
I still attempted and this does not work. Perhaps I’m doing it wrong.
I am a visual learner; however, can you provide a video on how to do just this?
I grouped the chair with a physics object and then connected them to a mover, but I still get no results; they simply just respawn back to the point of origin.
You can make a path of splines where you used to have the physics object go, and attach the grouped items to the mover. You’ll still be able to sit in the seat.
Okay I see what you mean by Splines here, but Splines make a predetermined course of movement for the seat and object,t which isn’t what I want to do.
What I want to do is to be able to attach a hidden chair to a physics object that can be picked up. Picking up the object and moving it to another location and sitting it back down, while the hidden chair is still attached to it. and it moves with the object. so I can sit down in it.
Does that make sense?
A good example would be using a workshop physics object and using workshop to turn it into an Inner tube for a pool. Then place a hidden seat on it, changing the seat setting to “tube” so it looks like you’re sitting in the inner tube. then to be able to pick up that inner tube, move across the map, or to another part of the pool. and put it in the water… and sit in it.
which brings to the 2nd part of the suggestion and that’s making it so the flow of water I.E, the lazy river on the old classic GmodTower resort, moves around a physics object. so it can float around the lazy river, and I can sit in the inner tube and float around in it.
TLDR… attach a hidden chair to an object that you can pick up… and it moves around WITH the object so you can sit down on it when it moves. Otherwise, it just stays in place like here in the video.
I didn’t say you could do exactly what you wanted before, I just was making a suggestion on something similar because what you’re suggesting here has extremely limited use cases and I can pretty confidently say won’t be added.
The closest thing to this I could say that could realistically be added would be changing the tube cosmetic items to be equippable in the hotbar (they make you float in water) because then you could distribute them in a condo using the weapon pedestal.
Well I mean you could make vehicles this way, like in Gmod, rideable cars, or a rideable hotdog that you can pick up. Moving chairs even. What I’m doing is just an example. There’s more potential to it than just an inner tube.
But either way this discussion is showing me that you just might be right and it won’t be added, or at the least not really be a big priority.
Though I am still interested in your suggestion, from what you’re saying, I can make the lazy river myself using this Splines thing, right?
I was aware of the innertubes you could buy and wear, I just wanted something more in world/condo. I’m getting caught up in the space, and I’m trying to make something slightly more complicated than it needs to be in hindsight.
