This script can give you the ability to connect prop-segmented gear pieces fast. It is optimized and brings the gear building time consuming to a minimum. It uses pre-defined radius-vectors to snap the segments the best way there is in Garry's Mod

Feature List
  • Gear precise alignment relative to the mass-center
  • Extendable database via text file or a lua script[github.com]
  • Extendable database via text file load list[github.com] and list prefixes[github.com] categories[github.com]
  • Switching database storage between Lua table and SQL
  • Spawning pieces on the map
  • Snapping/spawning at the center if checked
  • Snapping the first piece yaw to user defined angle
  • Automatic gear-anchor constraint creation when building
  • Custom point position angle and orientation adviser
  • Advanced duplicator can be used on the gearbox created
  • Custom entity properties ( weld, freeze, no-collide )
  • User can disable phys-gun grabbing on a piece
  • Ability to list up the most used pieces on the server ( E + Right )
  • Ability to search among the most server popular pieces by Lua patterns[www.lua.org]
  • Ability to export server and client database as a file
  • Tool-tips for every button are available and can be translated easily
  • Ability to spawn scripted gear switches of other class
  • Ability to modify the bodygroups and skins of a gear piece ( with duping )
  • Gear surface behavior automatically set to super-ice ( Optimal performance )

Reuploading and source stealing will not be tolerated !
Selling it is also out of option, as the open source suggests !

I've tested with creating the gear as two cases:
1. Spawned frozen with GA and then unfeezed it with physgun
2. Spawn unfrozen with GA

In both of these cases the gear should remain unfrozen after AdvDupe2 paste.

If you are using AdvDupe1 or the integrated duplicator you cannot achieve this behavior.
The ones above will copy the gear and use the internals when creating the dupe
This means it will use the flag form GA labeled "Freeze piece" when pasting. a.k.a the
setting the gear is created with.

I see this can be easily achieved why marking AdvDupe2 control as enabled:

Option: "Preserve frozen state after paste"
Hint: "Makes props have the same frozen state as they were copied"

Please use AdvDupe2 in cuch case.

Very handy tool, but gears stay frozen if they are in a duplication, even if they were unfrozen beforehand :shell:
