If you’ve ever been annoyed by laggy contraptions, then fear no more. This tutorial is out to help you.
Note: This video uses a random gate to parent to, however you can parent to the gate model itself. If you want to spawn the gate model, enter the following command into console: gm_spawn models/kobilica/capacatitor.mdl

sorry this is an old video and a bit off topic but, when I try to use your suspension and steering dupe, it says blah blah the file could not be decompressed. what do I do?
Can u make a wheel hub tut pls
I have done it and it works but now the car will not move, the engine makes a sound to show that it’s on but the wheels don’t move! Helps?
I am trying to put a steering wheel which is rotating on an axis on my car but whenever I do this it just falls off. If I parent the steering wheel too it won’t move. How do I stop the steering wheel from falling off while still making it possible to rotate?
help cant parent wire thrusters and they go all floppy when i dont select them moters also go floppy
THANKS. I NO LONGER HAVE TO LAG THE SERVER!!!
6:30 a million camera WTF
thanks for a great video! have some serious trouble here unfortunately though because I really cannot work with the parented props in many ways, most critically for our server, the (improved) stacker does not work on a parented prop as well as color (whereas material does work). with the stacker it shows the ghost but on clicking to actually stack nothing is stacked. any solutions or are there any other parenting tools that dont have this problem?
I have always simply parented my bodies to the chassis itself. Is there any reason you wouldn’t recommend this, other than the fact that I can’t move the body around without the chassis?
Non of my locomotives like this tool. The cylinders always fall off.
Hey Jack, I have a car body I made that has around 450 props, even after I parent it with no constraints or shadows, my frame rate drops from above 100 to 30 or lower. Any ideas on how to resolve that? Not sure at this point if it is an issue with Gmod or maybe my PC.
I love you man
I’m not multiparent and wire gates
Do the same settings apply to spacebuild?
Is there a way to duplicate it without using the ADV duplicator?
I followed your tutorial on making a basic steering system, and when I used this tutorial to make all the props I added to it one thing, the front wheels started spinning around in any direction they pleased, not just forwards and backwards then tilting left and right. Why has this happened? I redid it about 10 times over and had the same problem.
Is there a way to grab props that are parented to a gate?
Wadda badass
Jesus are you german dude
Great tutorial jack 🙂
WHY MY BODY DOESN’T COLIDE WITH TERAIN ! PLS HELP
Im late but is there anyway to make parented car frame have hitboxes or whatever that you cant go through it
Could I meet you in Garry’s Mod and ask like… How do I make my wheels turn? I tried making just like you did, but nope, the wheels break.
Greetings Jack, i have a question that id like to ask you. Can you parent E2 chips? and if so, do i parent to the gate or base plate (chassie).
If you answer this question for me (which will be amazing considering this is an old vid) then id greatly apreseate it.
If not, then i will attempt the comment on newer videos of yours.
Best of luck, -SilverSly
thanks for the tutorial… you has basicly helped me why gmod is awesome thanks man 🙂
I know I might be a bit late, but does acf armor still work correctly on parented props?
Hello Dear Jackpody,
I wanted to say first, I always liked your work, I’ve been quite impressed always.
I made recently a car, not based on a real model, made from scratc, which as alot of cool stuff there, indicators, steering wheel,all that, thing is.
It has 1000 props.
I tried to parent it like you said, to the ADD gate, then gate to the base, while the boxes are checked, and not checked as shown in the video, and i’m still getting lag.
I wanted to know, if there were a way to fix that in any ways, or, if I really need to lower my prop count around 500 props.
Regards, a lover of your work
Jackpody Can you Teach me how to make a Car body?
Pls help anyone! Adv. Duplicator doesn’t let me to save parented car body! If I save game and load it later, parent doesn’t save! Furthermore, the tool doesnt let me to select several props using shift+E+LMB! I dont want to lose my car body! What shoud I do?
HOW ABOUT ACF OR E2 sorry caps
+zimbabwe aka john cena Yes.
I’m back with another problem… lol…. when I parent the car, if I don’t uncheck the base prop, the wheels become detached, so when I do uncheck it, the front wheels roll on a different axis, making them flip sideways???
Awesome man! I love that you don’t give out your creations, but you give everything necessary to make their own. It’s brilliant!
Unbelievably helpful. I might have to go through more of your videos…
if i previously parented a body with nocollide constraints then can i reparent with remove constraints to remove them?
How to save a parented props?
error :D,i’has got a wire gates but i’ hasn’got a multiparent
If I reparent a prop will it remove any previous "parents"? I think I parented a car wrong and dont want to use multi unparent because it doesnt have area select. Any suggestions?
how do i parent vehicles that have bases that are made of a lot of props
Hey jack, how many props are your awesome vehicles?
I am currently making a 458 Italia with my buddy, and we estimate we are using around 600 or so props. Just wondering if that’ll cause any lag with parented props. Thanks!
Can I parent ACF items such and engines and gearboxes?
i multiparented my whole base to the gate and it fell through the world
Thank you for the helpful parenting tutorial. 🙂
I’d like to share your video in Our sites at Korea
Instead, we’ll promote your YouTube page
Is there a difference between Advanced Duplicator and Advanced Duplicator 2?
Please make tutorials for E2 holos.. Such as light wipers! and sexy indicatorss
I multi-parent the car and take the parent off of the wheels, but when I apply it and unfreeze everything, the car just falls down and the wheels go through the body, the car goes through the map a little, and the wheels just go in different directions too, and if I pick the car up, the wheels just dangle below it. Help?
Ok so I have a helicopter Ive created it has skids. Its a huey. When ever I multiparent the damn thing. I cant put engines on it… When I do so while it has engines on it already… They just fall the fuck off… Then because Im mutli parenting it do the base belly to grab with the phys gun I cant get it to stay on the skids because the moment I parent it falls through the earth till it hits the belly.
How the fuck do you use multiparent and still have ability to use engines… I mean your tires stayed on your car in this video… Wheels.. Are the engines Im using the propellers…. They fall off after I parent them once Ive put them on first and If I dont put the engines on first…. Once its parented the engines just fall off they wont even go on it. I cant even add a thruster to make my model flyable.
This is bullshit. Ive been at this all night. Tried multiple different angles and everything I can think of and it just wont work. It will parent but it wont keep my engines and wont let me put any on it…
To top it off I cant figure out how to clear advanced duplicator of my last selection. It copied only half my helicopter cause the box was too small when I tried it again it copied my helicopter PLUS the half I had first selected… -____-
Can you help?
well, why does parenting to the gate allow you to change the material etc?
En français S.V.P 😀
