Hoverballs and Anti-Gravity

Learn how to effectively use Hoverballs and Anti-Gravity tools in Garry's Mod. This guide breaks down their mechanics and best practices for creative building and physics manipulation.

Alright, let's dive into some of the more fun physics tools in Garry's Mod: Hoverballs and Anti-Gravity! These aren't your everyday props; they're game-changers for building and messing around. Think of them as your personal gravity manipulators. We'll cover what they do and how to get the most out of them.

What are Hoverballs and Anti-Gravity?

Basically, Hoverballs are props that, when spawned, create a small area around them that repels other physics objects. You can attach them to things to make them float or push other stuff away. Anti-Gravity, on the other hand, is a tool that lets you define a larger area where you can control gravity – either making things float, fall slower, or even fly upwards. It's super handy for creating contraptions that defy the usual physics.

How to Use Them:

• Hoverballs: Spawn a Hoverball from the 'Entities' tab, under 'Fun'. Once it's in the world, you can use the Physics Gun to grab it and attach it to whatever you want to make float. You can adjust their strength and radius with the toolgun. Experiment with placing multiple hoverballs to lift heavier objects or create complex floating structures.
• Anti-Gravity: Find the Anti-Gravity tool in the 'Tools' tab. When you select it, you'll be able to place a sphere. You can then use the toolgun's options to change the gravity within that sphere. Want to make a car float? Just place an anti-gravity field around it and set the gravity to zero or even negative to make it rise. You can also change the direction and intensity of the gravity effect.

Have fun experimenting with these awesome physics tools. They're a blast for building anything from simple floating platforms to elaborate Rube Goldberg machines!
