STFishing

Fishing in Garry's Mod!

//

(Please note that the first two videos do not show all of the most recent additions to the addon. Please view the third video for a comprehensive overview.)

STFishing is an addon I put way too much time and effort into.

To go fishing, you must first get a fishing pole. Go to a body of water big and deep enough, select a lure, and cast it into the water! Bob it around a fish for a bit until it turns green and slowly fishes towards your lure, then CLICK! When the minigame, Reel It In!, pops up, keep the line attached to your cursor on the circle randomly rotating around the edge. Once the outer circle becomes green, you'll have caught the fish!

Each lure, of which there are nine, has its own set of fish, of which there are 56, it's capable of catching. These fish are added to your "fish inventory" that is saved among sessions, meaning you'll keep your fish as long as you don't sell them! Fish can be sold by clicking them in the menu.

Everything in this addon is very hard-coded and as such, nothing is (easily) configurable. There is some documentation if you're willing to decompile it, but be warned, this may be updated several times.

Note that this addon may not work perfectly, as this was an absolutely massive project to work on. If anything goes wrong, that means script errors or any unintended or odd behavior, leave a comment below and please be patient!

Someone made a version with a better model, you can get that here.

We were hitting the limits of the Source engine, so we had to move to Unreal engine to add fishing, and nothing else.
