This page uses steam formatting. I prefer markdown though.

Description
This is the LaserSTool I've originally ported to GM13 since then I am constantly
improving it. My goal is making it behave as similar to a real laser beam.
The original creator is the one and only MadJawa. I cannot tell you that the he will
still supports his repo in the future, but we can clearly see no commits are made since 2009.

Feature List
  • Every item is editable with new and improved spawn icons
  • Reflector, Crystal, Divider and splitter entities located in the "Laser" category
  • Reflector entity reflects any laser beam that falls onto it
  • Crystal entity can concentrate and add multiple beams together
  • Divider entity divides all falling beams to pass-trough and reflected
  • Splitter entity splits dominant beam to N separate beams
  • Very stable crystal[raw.githubusercontent.com] calculating routine and beam trace
  • Disperse[en.wikipedia.org] beam traces via hit surface material override
  • Reflect[en.wikipedia.org] beam traces via hit surface material override
  • Refract[raw.githubusercontent.com] beam traces via hit surface material override
  • Calculate full internal reflection[en.wikipedia.org] according to medium boundary
  • Code base and updates in tone with Garry's mod 13
  • Supports wire[github.com] and every element supports advanced duplicator 1 and 2
  • Wire inputs[github.com] override internals when connected
  • Internal wire wrapper[github.com] taking care of the wire interface
  • Surface reflection[en.wikipedia.org] and medium refraction[en.wikipedia.org] power absorption[raw.githubusercontent.com]
  • Better model for the crystal entity not to get confused where beam comes out
  • Material override[wiki.facepunch.com] can be saved and restored with advanced duplicator 1 and 2
  • Editable entity[wiki.facepunch.com] support option for changing every aspect of the laser and crystal
  • User customizable models for crystals and reflectors via convar tweak

About workshop
I see many copies of this tool everywhere, but still, there is none that
have crated official repository for community contribution, besides, I think
the original author will not like that in general. If you want to try the tool
Go ahead and install it. If the original author asks I will take this down!

https://github.com/dvdvideo1234/LaserSTool

Reuploading and source stealing will not be tolerated!
Selling it is also out of option, as the open source suggests!

Sounds about right. I foundother conflicts over the years.. May I see the error anyway... It is interesting what failed as I am currently working on supporting dispersion. Almost ready though as it was the most requested feature 😁

Rachel the Gamer Girl 9 Nov @ 11:22am 
it seems something about the vfire addon conflicts with the laser stool
Rachel the Gamer Girl 9 Nov @ 11:22am

Thanks for sharing. I do hope you have only this laser mod installed. It is not an extension for ather addons. I will try to check out tomorrow. Would you mind posting the error here?
Rachel the Gamer Girl 5 Nov @ 6:27pm

Rachel the Gamer Girl 30 Oct @ 3:02pm

Aftrer some testing we have the following
1. Optiweld does not work because I see it is designed for props inside of each other. Use the regular weld or the smart weld instead
https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1693027072&searchtext=optiweld
2. Multi parent and unparent tool sure does work on the crystal, but the server trace refuses to agnolige it as it does not exist. This is a normal and expected behavior in this case:

Keep in mind that parenting is intended only for isual effects.
