@MJ @Summer i did actually try modifying the addon's source to make that change, because even an oblong sphere would be better for wheels than make spherical, but it only changes the bounding box size, not the actual sphere, since the (radius, radius, radius) thing is present in
ent:SetCollisionBounds, which only sets the bounding box, not the actual sphere collision
the sphere collision is set with ent:PhysicsInitSphere, which only takes a single number for it's radius, so no way of making oblong spheres either sadly.

Is this compatible with dupes/saves?

any possible way to flatten the sphere to make an oblate spheroid?

ok it works but what would it be used for?

V This addon came out in 2013.

i thought this would stretch the textures so the prop you used it on would become a ball. my bad for not reading the descripton lol

V This addon came out in 2013.

imagine using chatgpt for coding
that doesn't get results, it makes you look stupid.

acf car wheel :D

Honestly I'd forgotten I'd merged a fix - didn't have access to a PC with gmod to test it out for ages. Will do soon

when i use it on a wheel, gmod instantly crashes

@daveth when you gonna update with my pushed fix for E2 that happened like 3 years ago LMAO (gmod is p dead anyway)

Summer is correct, the source engine has spherical collisions built-in, but not cylinders unless you just use regular triangle-based collision models, like on wheels and other round props.

To those asking about making cylinders, this is simply not possible. The reason make spherical even works is because source has an entire class dedicated to spherical objects (PhysicsInitSphere). There are no perfectly round cylindrical objects in source, and doing (radius,radius, height/2) would just create an oblong sphere. Hince why the drum collision models used in HL2/Gmod don't roll nicely.

Truly an amazing addon for building...

Now, makecylinder.

chatgpt said that if you change the current (radius, radius, radius) vector on your code for (radius, radius, height/2) you could make a "make cylindrical". i know this addon is literally gonna be a decade old next month but dev, i need to know if you've tried this path before and if so, what monsters did you encounter?

SPHERICAL!

it makes the collision a cube in all cases, including with spherical objects.

I WANT TO MAKE THINGS BOUNCE!

make a version where not only he collison gets turned into a sphere but also the props model!

If you make spherical wheels, and publish them along with the dupe, will it make those wheels spherical for people without this addon?

very epic tool, 10/10

I have an issue, I want to get my hydraulics to be set in the middle of the wheel, but with make spherical it gets set on the side of the away from the wheel, this way I can't make the suspension I want, any tricks to get around that?

Can you make a tool to make cylindrical?

You have to make the wheels spherical before you add constraints. Make Spherical will remove a lot — if not all — constraints when applied. Spherical first, then constraints. Never the other way around.

im making a car with suspension, and once i got the suspension in place the hydraulic and some of the ropes connected to the wheels disappear, why?

Tool sucks. Cannot undo the effect once applied. Fix your tool.

I opened a pull request on github that fixes the E2 core, just added a entity modifier for the duplicator so it saves. Would be nice if you could look over, and hopefully merge and upload to workshop. Thank you

Has anyone figured out the bug causing crashes when I add ropes?

Is very very usefall for makeing cars.
Thanks!

I used it on a test thing, but that thing now spawns as a circle..... it's a dresser :|

you cant have a perfect cylinder, but a capsule collider might work

mid 2019 and still no smooth cylinders in gmod... i wish there was a way

Why does it make my wheels on my tank lower the body and make the handeling suck

already tried -condebug so if anyone knows it'd be much appreciated

anyone else running into a new glitch where roping make spherical props crashes server? started happening a while ago and several build servers have this glitch but some don't and i still can't figure out which addons are causing the conflict

@Default Profile Name actually its probably one of the most useful as it makes wheels a whole lot easier to work with, it can make it more smoother across ground and also stop the wheel from spazzing out

most useless addon ever

This does not work with prop resizer. Tested on a server, which lead the server to crash.

IT'S SPHERICAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fidget stick

An odd thing i get with this addon is, when i make my wheels on my tank spherical, they start to wobble for some reason and i dont know why. and help with this?

is it possible to make a "make cylindrical" tool?

when duplicated the wheels ignore ball socket constraints

This sounds like a good tool to be dicks to people with OCD

Get a Gamecube, and then make a Gamesphere, IT'S SPHERICAL.

The way you undo it, is by pressing reload (aka R) while holding the tool and looking at the prop that has been made spherical

So there's no undo ??? i used this tool and there is no undo option for it ...........#$%#@%$@#^$%^$#

Would is be possible to add E2 support? So we can spawn props via E2, and apply the makeSpherical via E2.

Doesn't work with collision resizer enhanced.
