How do I make my own game on Gmod?

[Asufo]

My brother told me that I can make a game on Gmod. I have a good game in mind. Where do I go to set it up or something?

[Sohald & Spike]

gmod is a game where you can create scenarios and many other stuff... but create a game in a game?

[tomaz]

You mean a gamemode?

[Nipah]

Think he means Gamemode.

Or a mod/addon, maybe.

Don't bother. There is literally no documentation of modding this game anyway. You'd have to be a developer of Garry's Mod in order to legitimately mod it. I tried asking and I was never given a straight answer...

Welp

You can't make your own video game in Garry's Mod if that's what you're trying to say. However, you can make your own gamemode IF you have the knowledge of LUA coding. Anything else would require knowing how to model, use hammer, or to make animations for gmod. You then would have to attach the gamemode to a server in which you can try to host (strongly not recommended) or pay for a host. Lastly, you can pay someone to do all of that, and pay for hosting, and have a fully functional gamemode. Do note though that this could cost nearly about an average of 100-200$ depending on what you want to make, and what you are willing to replace if you want to make it cheaper.

Do you mean gamemode or just starting a game?

You can:
1.Create a map in hammer editor with scripts, so it has some rules and story
2.Create your own gamemode addon
3.Try to create level in already existing map
4.Use wiremod to create computer that has games

I recommend picking only one of those ways and studying it (better start with mapping)

First one has many tutorials. (I recommend watching these videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jF3er5lsaeg&list=PL-454Fe3dQH1L38FnKkz_O1CqYx6sKaXk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhcoHQcrYKA&list=PLfwtcDG7LpxF7-uH_P9La76dgCMC_lfk3)

Second is harder and might require some coding skills and Lua knowledge. And it's harder to find tutorials.

Third is the easiest in execution, but results are less than decent.

The last one is for programmers and people who know how to work with Wiremod. I don't recommend this in first place.
