Friction Tool

Description
This tool is mainly for vehicles, but can be used on any prop. Tired of your gmod cars sliding around, because they don't have enough friction due to make-spherical wheels? This tool increases the apparent friction of any prop, meaning you can stick to the road much easier.


There are two methods of adding friction:

- Contact Point: For use with wheels and vehicles. 5-10 for weak friction, 50 for medium and 75+ for strong friction.


- Center Mass: For standard flat props, like plates. 10-20 for weak friction, 60 for medium and 85+ for strong friction.


If you add too much friction, your props may behave strangely. If they do, try reducing the amount of friction.


To change the maximum allowed friction, use the ConVar "friction_limit". It defaults to 999 but can be set lower/higher.


Left click: Apply Friction Multiplier
Reload: Remove Friction Multiplier


This tool has E2 Support. To apply, use the function entity:mulFriction( amount, type)

entity:mulFriction(100, 0) -- 100 Friction, Center Force
entity:mulFriction(75, 1) -- 75 Friction, Contact Point Force


To remove, use the function entity:removeFriction().

Actually it is kind of broken anwyways, because even on a make spherical wheel, once the wheel starts spinning it just keeps accelerating

Oh i thought this was broken but it isn't

As the tool states Center friction is just for flat surfaces, like the flat face of a barrel
Contact point is only for wheels, but really it's only for Make Spherical wheels, prop wheels don't do the trick

why cant i apply it to a car's wheel
no. Dec 10, 2023 @ 1:19pm 
can you make a ability to remove friction from a object

is there some way to modify the friction of a PLAYER? like whit some other tool or whit a command in the command console?

@MaxCE No, the server will need the tool as well.

hey if i use this tool on a vehicule on singleplayer and i dupe the car to a multiplayer server that doesn't have this tool, will it work?

@SANDERS It doesn't add weight, but it does add a bit of force. No other way to get friction I'm afraid.

why does this make the prop weigh more?
