Post #1
I guess the helicopter entity wasn't my last release.
Here is a new one, it's the F35 Jet fighter.
It has 4 different weapons.
Turret, missiles, bombs and homing missiles.
Turret
Shoots ordinary bullets. Works on both air and ground targets.
The turret might not seem to be very powerful but you shouldn't underestimate it.
You can use countermeasures on homing missiles but you can't dodge a bullet.
Missiles
The missiles just goes straight forward. Works best on ground targets since it's hard to hit other
planes because they don't stay still very often. There is also a cool down on the missiles.
It will regenerate after a little while.
Bombs
They drop to the ground and explode, there is not much more to say.
They also have a cool down like the missiles but it takes more time for them to regenerate.
Works best on ground targets.
Homing Missiles
You start locking on a target, wait for the jet to lock completely then you just launch the missiles.
The missiles will follow it's target until it hits it unless they are using countermeasures.
There is a slight chance that the missiles will ignore the countermeasures.
If someone have shot a homing missile that is locked you your jet you will hear an alarm.
You can lock on any type of vehicle (including seats) and players.
Works on both air and ground targets.
Health & Alarms
You don't have any type of instrument to indicate the health of the jet so you will have to depend on the alarms and your feeling instead.
There is three different alarm stages.
In the first stage (health below 200) you will just hear a buzzing noise. You will also notice that the jet will shake a little bit.
In the second stage (health below 100) you will hear a more intense alarm, the jet will also start to shake more violently.
In the third and last stage (health below 50) the alarm will be very intense and the jet will start to fall to the ground.
You don't have much time because the plane will start to damage itself (because of all the fires). You can escape certain death by bailing out (requires Bail Out addon) or you can try to get your revenge before you die.

How do i install it?
Put it in your addons folder.
Directory: "Steam\steamapps\ACCOUNT NAME\garrysmod\garrysmod\addons"
Why are the crosshair moving?
There is a slight update delay. The crosshair also adjust depending on distance.
Example: The missile weapon has two crosshair.
When you are close to a wall they will separate, they show the exact location on where the missiles will hit. If you are far away it will almost look like there only is one crosshair.
Is there a way to toggle the landing gear?
Nope.
The jet figures that out by itself so you don't have to bother pressing a button everytime you want to
make them go up or down.
How do I lock on a target?
Select the homing missiles, put the crosshair on your target, press "suit zoom".
If you couldn't successfully lock on the target just try again.
When the target is locked you can fire the missiles.
Can i edit your code and make my own jet?
Yes you may but just don't release a copy that will replace the addon.
Make it as a separate entity and change the model.
I have added more comments than I usually do, I hope it will help.
Also made a small guide about making your own jet in the code.
Controls:
W & S
Pitch
A & D
Roll
Secondary Fire + A or D
Yaw
Primary Fire
Use current weapon
Jump
Increase throttle
Walk
Decrease throttle
Sprint
Change weapon
Score board
Use countermeasures
Suit Zoom
Lock on target (while using homing missiles)
Tips & tricks
The efficiency of the rudders are depending on the speed of the jet.
Some becomes more sensitive at slow speeds and the other way around.
You only need to use full throttle while taking of or if you need to get somewhere fast.
60% - 75% throttle is recommended to keep a high speed and you will still be able to do tight turns.
It may sometimes be hard to lock on a target that's in the air.
Don't give up, just try until it works. Switching to the turret may also be a good idea.
Are you hearing an annoying and stressful alarm?
Someone may have shot a homing missile at you.
Use countermeasures, the missiles will most likely follow them instead of you.
Keep in mind that the timing is very important, use the countermeasures early and the missiles will ignore them.
Decreasing the speed will make the jet shake less if you are damaged.
Want to have a third person view?
Just weld a camera on the jet.
You will still be able to see the crosshair.
Having problem getting out from it?
Hold down the use button and the jet will force the player to leave the seat.
OLD
The download also includes a jet without weapons that everyone can use.
Only admins can spawn the jet that has weapons.

Sweet, downloading now!
I hope isn't your last release, you make great stuff.
-
This is awesome, I'll bug my profanwolf to use it.
-
Downloading now, i love things like this :D
-
Super awesome! Gonna try it out right now!
I agree with Daka, hope this isn't your last release!
-
A does roll AND pitch? :P im guessing you mean S
-
Correct.
My mistake.
-
I love your stuff man, do you want to marry me?
I gonna try it out today with Darkhazz.
Also: Didn't you said that the Helicopter is going to be your last release? I am proud you made this Jet tough. : )
-
Thanks.
And I just love your videos.
-
I love you so much.
Marry me, not Gaina!
...I'll give you free cake.

I was gliding over some water, the plane touched the surface, and it disappeared and I got this error message
entities/sent_sakariasjet_nonadmin/init.lua:373: Tried to use invalid object (type IPhysicsObject) (Object was NULL or not of the right type)
Then, I tried to spawn another, it fell through the world, the game crashed, and a window opened saying
IVP Failed at U:\hl2_rel\src\ivp\ivp_utility\ivu_vhash.cxx 157
Thought you should know...
-
I have noticed that to but it happened to normal props and other ents as well when you threw them in the water so I thought it wasn't the jets fault but the map.
Changed map and it worked. The new Freespace_Revolution map has that "bug" or whatever you could call it.
-
I was on gm_flatgrass_revolution, I don't think it's the map.
-
To be hones i have no idea what the problem is.
My guess is just that it's the maps fault.
It's like this.
You put the jet in the water and then it suddenly dissapears (or gets removed).
The entity tries the fetch it's own physics object and I just can't find it because something removed it.
This error shouldn't even be possible. (check the code below)
The firs line is line 370 (means that line 373 is line 4 in the code below).
if self.Entity:WaterLevel() == 0 && self.DieOnce == 0 then local entphys = self.Entity:GetPhysicsObject() local speed = self.Entity:GetPhysicsObject():GetVelocity():Length()
What does this mean?
It means that the entity runs code when it's submerged which it shouldn't.
It also can't find it's own physics object.
Why?
Only God knows.
-
What if you just add a code to purposely remove the jet when it touches water, therefore bypassing this mess?
-
Have you ever considered using fin like simulations for the plane? Just so that if we rolled to the right it would turn to the right in a much more realistic matter.
-
Hey do you think you can make a passenger jet next?
-
this is really awesome sakarias, installing in my server now :D
-
Wow! Amazing vehicles you make! How about diffrent breakable cars and you can also shoot out of? Or machine gun bunkers. I mean theres tons of crappy low poly terribley made unrealstic veicals that you sit upside down but with that coding talent you could make something much better. I think you would be able to make some modern war team deathmatch gamemode for gmod! I mean someone would make the sweps, gamemode and work it all out but you already made awesome veicals right? Well, bravo any ways mode or no game mode this is one epic heckofa plane. And wouldn't the might be made Hawx mod floating around work so much better if they just modified your coding a little?
-
^^You don't have to right an essay buddy
Also I love you
-
Its not a essay! Fine, I am obessesed with things in gmod that shoot things..... no work for me to do but blow crap up and so on...... Well, I'd give this guy a useful and then give a man-hug in a non-homosexual way. Also Mr. Dr. Pepper you spelled 'write' wrong...
-
Sakarias LIVES!!!!!!!! Also, nice work. Can't wait to see something like a Huey adaptation of you helicopter, or an F4 Phantom adaptation of your jet.
-
This is awesome! Thank you for not making the helicpoter your last project!
-
You made a perfect bailout system
a fabulous heli
an amazing plane
plus loads of other amazing sweps/entities
Your on your way to making perfect set script codes for anyone to easily make their spawn able vehicles of their dreams
Now make me an APC/Tank/AATank
The models would be easy to get
and Im sure it would be far easier to script a ground vehicle
than one that flies!
Then
you may rest Lua King
:)
-
Another awesome release, I remember when I saw one of your swep videos a while ago, made me get GMod :)
-
Awsome release. I'm downloading it as I write this. Is there anyway that you could add in VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) capabilities?
-
I love this mod been using it a lot!
You should keep it up your a top moder on my list.
just a suggestion try a F-22 raptor, or a blackhawk heli.
-
Ive known you would come back
-
Sakarias88, just in case, the guy who ported the model is CHL407. CHL407 is also the guy who ported the other planes and bombs.
http://www.facepunch.com/showthread....itary+models+2
Thank you Sakarias88, on behalf of CHL407. You made an excellent addon to CHL407's excellent model pack.
I was hoping you would do it for StarChick971, he was responsible for porting the planes from Tom Clancy Hawx. It is better looking, and also have several bombs, rockets and missiles. He was hoping for someone like you to do it, but nobody seems to like him. :(
I feel sad for StarChick971.......
Edited:
The one who made the model is the Company which made Operation Flashpoint, The Companies are Bohemia Interactive and Codemasters.
-
Updated credits.
Couldn't use the StarChick971 models because they had spaces in the names and that makes the ent unable to find the models.
-
Wow. Just, wow. Welcome back sakarias, have a burger. :burger:
-
We missed you Sakarias :swoon:
-
this is a really good addon.
-
Nice work!
I nominate a AC-130 (Spooky) for a next one,
thats if you are doing a next one ;(
-
ya cool addon i have the helicopter vehicle to and Ive already added the plane and tested it next thing im going to do is battle them plane vs helicopter vehicle
-
Amazing!
But why you used the scoreboard and zuit zoom keys instead of the reloading and flashlight keys? That way it wouldn't be a problem to check the scoreboard or feeling dizzy because of the zooming effect
-
Maybe this is our ticket to getting a fully working passenger jet?
-
Thanks for replying. I give you a heart.
Also, this mod needs some upgrades. Hopefully, I can learn lua and make some rockets, guided bombs or cluster bombs.
-
This looks amazing. I thout that your last invention the helicopter was the best thing ever and now this :D I allways wanted you to make something just like this and amazingly you did. My pc is sadly being realy slow today and it has been 20 mins and only 10% loading youtube video so i canot wait till that is done and i am using it on gmod. Thank you alot me :)
-
The reload key is broken but I guess I could have used the flash light key.
