Wiremod advanced wire tool not working

Quote from: hogs on September 24, , PM. Check out my Youtube channel with all kinds of cool videos including LP's which I'm currently working at.

Don't forget to give feedback as well. This may sound a bit dumb, but are you sure you're looking at something that can be wired, such as a Text Screen? This should download a new Advanced Wiring LUA file and may fix the file if it was previously corrupt. Set it back to 1 and it'll work.

See Sorry, something went wrong. Skip to content. Star New issue. Install it and restart your Garry's Mod. Wiremod runs on a system of inputs and outputs that essentailly allow you to create a minature computer or machine that can perform a certain task you so design it to do.

Wiremod gives you much more control and ability to maniuplate your tools, provided you have the knowledge of how to use it. The above paragraph probably means Gibberish to you, so ill make it simple to start. With normal tools, you usually press a key on your keyboard to activate it. You can think of wiremod the same way, but you must place an input. In wiremod, a "1" means on, Active, or True, whereas a "0" means the opposite. Therefore, to get a, for instance, Wire Turret to fire, it has to have an input of 1 on it.

Do note, that in Wiremod's language, any value other than 0 will still activate the input that it is wired to. If your input has a value of and is wired to a turret, then activated, the turret will still fire. Press Q to open your Gmod menu. Navigate to the top right where the tabs are. In addition to the normal "Tools", "Options", and "Utilities", there should be a new tab named "Wire".

If this tab is not here, you dun goofed. There's going to be an assmaster load of tabs. Close all the tool tabs first so we can get an idea of what we'll be working with.

The first thing you're going to want to do is spawn a Wire Turret from the "Wire - Physics" tab. Adjust the settings however you like and spawn it anywhere you please. Ensure that the On value is at least 1 and the Off value is 0. Don't worry about the "Output Entity" checkbox on the Button, it is for more advanced users and won't effect how the button works directly. Once you have your desired Turret and form of input placed, we can introduce the tool you will use the most, the Wire Advanced tool, under "Wire - Tools".

Select the tool and hover over your turret. A box should appear, with a green highlight to "Fire". Left click to select the input. Highlight the appropriate output and left click again. This indicates the datatype you must use to fill the feild. You cannot assign this input with something like a Number, 9. It must be in the format of a string, such as "9". You'll have to use that until the server owner gets off his ass and fixes it.

Don't work? The legacy tool is as old as wiremod itself, and it has always worked. It shouldn't have any problems other than being more annoying to use. Try completely uninstalling all traces of wiremod and reinstalling it. If that doesn't help, try uninstalling all addons and installing only wiremod alone. Skip to content. Star New issue.
