SCP-235 | The Real Entity

...
...
...

So that's it,
The sound
This is all that's left,
Haha,
I imagined the end more ... atypical
Sentenced to listen to this sound,
Eternity, nothingness, emptiness ...
Somebody, help me
I beg you

SCP-235 appear to be shellac phonograph records of the type commonly produced in the late 1920s.
Each record contains a different song.
Its main effect is to stop in time all nearby entities whenever the record "skips".

Caution, you cannot remove a CD when a "skip" is in progress

A gramophone is provided with the vinyl records to play them, each record plays a different sound, here is the list available :


Affected players will be unable to move, speak or hear other players during skips


The props and entities will be frozen in the position they were in and will resume their normal rhythm once the duration is over.


Entities and NPCs may be unfreeze if they are collided or damaged by another entity that is not affected by the effect, players who wants to unfreeze another player have to use the action button instead.


This addon was a bit long to develop for several reasons that led me to make choices due to technical reasons that make me a bit frustrated with the result:

• Weapons of the entities, if a npc had a weapon during the freeze, it will not appear (when the npc will be unfreeze it will recover it).
  
• If a model has no physics (which happens more often than you can imagine) then the freeze entity will not have a collision, it can appear in the wrong angle at the time of the freeze, and if it was scale, then it will have its "normal" size.

Concerning the weapons, there is no perfect solution to retrieve the exact position and angle of the weapons held by the NPCs, which makes it difficult to make the said weapons appear.
Concerning the models without physics, well let's say that without physics, it makes very complicated to configure a ragdoll from the said npc, no miracle solution either.

I would be delighted if someone would know how to solve this problems in an optimal way,
but in view of the different solutions I have already looked for it is a bit complicated or the result is disappointing as with the weapons.

And finally concerning the appearance of the potential question:
Why you didn't reproduce one of the most important effects of the SCP which is to add skips on the sounds when a player dies nearby ?

My answer will be the following:
You can't pause a sound and editing a sound on Gmod is complicated.
Because of its technical limitations I had to make a choice that pissed me off, edit sounds directly.
So all the skips are defined and the sound files has been directly modified to match the skips
I would have liked to do it like the "real" (ironic) entity, but well, we can't always do everything we want.
