Drones Rewrite Alydus Weapon Extension

Drones Rewrite Weapon Extension adds various new additional weapons to add to your drone in Drones Rewrite. Such as advanced multitools, radars and player scanners.

This addon is my first public lua addon for Garry's Mod. I've been developing for a few years on this game, but I've never released anything to the game community publically, until now. This addon includes various additional weapons for the Drones Rewrite addon, also for Garry's Mod. It works with all gamemodes, including (but not limited to), DarkRP, Sandbox, Clockwork (all schemas) and Nutscript (all schemas).


This extension will be frequently updated with new weapons that I see possible and feasible. However, the extension currently contains the following weapons.

- Advanced Multi Tool
This weapon is an improved/extended version of the Multitool in the original Drones Rewrite addon. It contains additonal modes (but still the original modes like the physgun, and the keypad cracker, with darkrp and wiremod support), e.g. opening doors, closing doors, locking doors, unlocking doors, accelerating (improving door open speeds) and decelerating doors.

- Player Radar
This weapon allows you to scan for players within 2000 units of the drone, it will report the amount of players it finds, and will appropriately categorise them into different amounts depending on their current status/activity, e.g. total health, if they are moving, crouching etc.

- NPC Radar
This weapon allows you to scan for players within 2000 units of the drone, it will report the amount of npcs it finds, and will appropriately categorise them into different amounts depending on their current status/activity, e.g. if they have targets and if they are moving.

- Player Scanner
This weapon allows you to scan players that are not moving, and near your drone. It will temporarily freeze them and your drone until the scan is finished. It will allow you to see information about the player, like health, armor and other properties.

- Advanced Repairer
This weapon is a extended, advanced version of the original Drones Rewrite repairer, it supports repairing Star Wars Vehicles, SCars, VCMod, which itself supports all major vehicle packs (over 1600 vehicles), including TDM's, Lonewolfe's, SGM's, Sped's, SGT's, Roy's, Maxv's and other standalone vehicles located on the Garry's Mod Workshop[www.gmodstore.com]; since it is a modified version of the original, it also supports the entities that the original Drones Rewrite Repairer included, like drones and drone control consoles. This weapon respects the maximum health values that are retrieved automatically, and will attempt to not over repair vehicles. The vehicles repair at an appropriate rate, but some repairs may take longer than others due to vehicles having various different overall health values. The repairing laser/beam will only display visually if the entity is actually being repaired, so the weapon user knows when the vehicle is at maximum health, and cannot be repaired any further.



To add these weapons to your drone, and to modify existing/default weapons on your drone, locate the 'Upgrades / Settings' wrench weapon from the spawnmenu, via Weapons -> Drones Rewrite Tools -> Upgrades / Settings, when holding the weapon, right click on a drone, when you're near it.






To install this weapon extension, simply subscribe to this addon, if you are not already subscribed to the required addon Drones Rewrite, you will be prompted to subscribe to it before subscribing to this addon, please do so. This addon/weapon extension will not load or function without the required addon.


If you open your game and find the workshop addon redownloading, it either means that it has been removed by you somehow, or I've updated the addon. Usually it means I've updated the addon, when I do this, it is most likely to fix a known bug or to implement more features. See the Change Notes if you'd like to see what changes have been made to the addon on the dates updated, I'll always have descriptions for whenever I update the addon.


The media features the map gm_goldencity, created by Skerion.


If the weapons don't appear in-game, please follow the following troubleshooting steps before seeking support.

- Make sure the addon is enabled, in the Garry's Mod main menu, locate the addon after navigating to addons, and make sure it is enabled.
- Ensure you have restarted your game after subscribing to this addon.
- Restart your steam client (not just closing and re-opening, if you don't know how to do this, just restart your
computer), this may prompt the addon to download.
- Ensure the addon itself has successfully downloaded by navigating to the game installation folder, and ensure the
file at garrysmod/addons/drones_rewrite_alydus_weapon_extension_1460295425.gma exists.
- Delete the file in the previous step and redo these troubleshooting steps, this will make the addon redownload, this may be needed if the file was downloaded incorrectly, or if the connection was interuptted during downloading.
