Here I will cover some of the tactics used for welding, from the simple to the more advanced. I know how hard it can be at the start to get things to weld how you want them too, and just when it starts to "happen" for you, the game wants to crash. So please, read on.

First off, if you plan to weld to a ragdoll, phys_gunautoweld should be set to 1. This will allow it to attach to the ragdoll the moment it is able to, otherwise your beam may only blink red for a split second, making it incredibly difficult to let go at the right time. Otherwise if you are welding with phys_gunattract 1, then keep phys_gunautoweld 0, allowing you to rotate objects once they are in place.

Assuming you want to weld a flat hard object to another one (possibly cannister to box), then I suggest you have both the above commands kept on default.

But you are still having trouble attaching them in the exact position you want, eh? Remember this: Where you hit an object with your physgun's primary, it acts as a single point around which the object is pivited (spelling?). To see exactly what I mean pick up a ragdoll. Wherever you pick him up from, the rest of his body will hang from that point. Same concept as the crossbow bolts. So using this knowledge, you should be able to weld more percisly. Let's look at an example:

You have a box. Perfect cubed one. You also have 1 cannister you wish to attach to the side of it, poking straight out, like so:
The simplest method is to create one weld on the top of the box in the center, and then a weld on the center of the base of the cannister. That is the only flat side on a cannister, so it works best for first attempts. Now remember that wherever you grab the cannister, the rest of it will hang from that point. Since you want to attach the cannister from above, grab near the top of the cannister (not the tip though). This will let your cannister dangle upright, leaving the weld point at the bottom. Lucky you, the box's weldpoint is at the top, so you simply have to hover it over. If phys_gunattract is set to 1, then it should try to weld together, and work perfectly. Your beam turns red, you let go of your primary fire, and it welds. Now simply tip the box on its side, shoot the tip of the cannister, and let it fly.

But let's say you want to place a cannister on the side of the box, not pointing straight out. Possibly like this:
It is also simple. Place two weld points on oppoite sides of your box. 1 on each. For best results try your best to make them mirror images of eachother (same spot on both sides). Put a weld on the side of one cannister, and grab it in the middle. Make sure phys_gunattract is set to 1 and phys_gunautoweld is set to 0. When it attempts to latch on, and the beam turns red, do not let go. Instead slowly rotate your mouse in an attempt to turn the cannister in the direction you want it to go. If it just won't go the exact direction you want, quick switch to another weapon. Then try grabbing the cannister at a diffferent side and attempt again. It may take practice, but once you can do it well, you are set to make some monster creations. Enjoy. [NonMagical]

These is the other half to welding. PErsonally my favorite. It is my favorite for 2 reasons. Easier welding, less crashes. This is because you no longer seem to get that "opposite magnet" affect where they seem to avoid eachother, and the game isn't forcing the object anywhere (like it does when it tries to connect them), meaning less potential crashes.

First off if you are using phys_gunattract 0, you also probably want phys_gunautoweld 1. The reason being, the main method for welding this way is to align objects close (even touching if you can), putting two weld points down (one on each), and clicking your primary physgun button. They will automatically weld together. I'll try to explain in a little more detail:

Take two crates. The normal square crates will do fine. No put them down next to eachother, and push them together so they are touching. Make sure you have phys_gunattract 0 and phys_gunautoweld 1. Now go to the side of the boxes and look at where they are touching. Make a weld point on each one the the point where they are touching. Then just click one box. Assuming the two weld points are really close (make sure they are), it should instantly make the "ding" sound and they should turn black. You now have a weld. Do this on all 4 sides just to be safe. This strategy is becomming one of the most common strategies in welding, due to the less ammount of crashes, and the simplicity of it. I'll include some video tutorials soon, to further help your understanding. [NonMagical]

That is one of the main problems with JBmod so far. You want to make this gigantic structure, but whenever you build big, things bend and twist how you don't want to. Luckily there is a way around this. As long as the structure you are building isn't going to move from one place to another, you can use a command to disable the motion of your structure. It is quite simple. Whenever there is an object you want to stay absolutely still, simply point your mouse at it and type this in your console:

ent_setname <name>

Where name can be anything you want. Then type:

ent_fire <name> disablemotion

This will disable the motion of the object, basically suspending it in the air. You can enable it at a later time useing:

ent_fire <name> enablemotion

Credits to Alynn for bringing this command to light. [NonMagical]

Well first you want to use this basic command to help make cannisters:

ent_create_cannister <thrust> <thrusttime>

Thrust = A number that represents is force, while thrusttime is the length it will go in seconds.

Here is an example:

ent_create_cannister 3500 20

Simple eh?

You can also have negative thrust to make the cannister move an opposite way (thank you for the info Seventhhat). Such as this:

ent_create_cannister -5000 90

You can create cannisters in single player or multiplayer, as long as it is JBmod you are playing. [NonMagical]

---

Try setting the thrust from 1000 to 10000 for best results.
Example:
ent_create_cannister 2000 60
This command would make a cannister with 2000 thrust and it would stay on for a minute. The default thrust for a cannister is 1000, so setting thrust to 2000 is 2x speed.

Need help getting your cannisters to go off the same time? Read the following:

To turn all cannisters on:
cannisters_activate

To turn all cannisters off:
cannisters_deactivate

Simple. Go up to each one of the cannisters you want to be set off and point your crosshair on them (one at a time). You simply have to give them each a name, and then use another command to set that name off.

To set a name to a cannister:
ent_setname <name>

To set that group of cannisters off:
ent_fire <name> activate

So for example.. Say you have two groups of cannisters. The first group you have you name them all "can1". The second group you name "can2". Then when you open your console and type "ent_fire can1 activate", all the cannisters under the name "can1" will turn on, but can2 cannisters will not.

Also here is another helpful bind you may want. I'll assume you have the cannisters you want to go off named something. Let's say that name is "blast". Type this in your console:

alias +go "ent_fire blast activate"

Then:

alias -go "ent_fire blast deactivate"

(Note: I am not sure if there is an ent_fire deactivate command. I assume there is, though haven't checked.)

Finally, bind a key to +go like so:

bind b "+go"

Now all you need to do is simply hold down "b", and your specific cannisters will start up. As soon as you let go of "b", they will turn off. Now go make your buggy with controlable boosters. =D [NonMagical]

Not only can you pull things closer, but you can repel them as well (just not at high speeds). When you have an object in your beam, simply roll the mousewheel. Down will bring the object closer to you, while up will push it away. [NonMagical]

Since so many people seem to be confused about this, I'll add it here. To do a rope weld, you first have to change to rope mode. You will know you are on rope mode when in the bottom left of your screen it says "Rope Mode". Also the welds you make will be teal-ish. Now just weld two objects together like you normally would using this rope mode, and when they are welded, pull them apart. A rope will appear between them.

If you want to adjust the rope length, type phys_gunropelength <#> in console, there <#> is the number you want. The default is phys_gunropelength 50. Enjoy.
