Thrusters and Propulsion Systems

Learn how to use Thrusters in Garry's Mod! This guide covers spawning, controlling force, and customizing your propulsion systems with the Tool Gun and Spawn Menu.

Hey there! So, you want to get your contraptions moving in Garry's Mod? Let's talk about Thrusters. Think of them like mini rocket or jet engines you can stick onto pretty much anything. Spawning a Thruster To get a thruster into the game, you'll need your trusty Tool Gun. Just open up your Spawn Menu, find the thruster, and plop it down wherever you need it. Controlling the Force Now, here's the cool part: you can totally tweak how much oomph your thruster has. Head back to the Spawn Menu, and in the tool options for the thruster, you can adjust the force. Unlike real-life engines, these can push you forwards *and* backwards, which is super handy! Customization Station Want to make your thruster unique? You can! In the same menu, you can: * Change the keys used to control it. * Pick a sound it makes when it's firing. * Select the effect it emits (like flames or smoke). * Even change the model it uses! Pro Tip: If you check the "toggle" box, the thruster will keep firing until you hit the control button again. No need to hold it down constantly! That's the basics of thrusters. Go ahead and experiment – you'll be building all sorts of moving marvels in no time!
