The list shows all the available tools, divided into categories. It has a list on the left and a panel on the right. The tools tab is open by default when you load the game. Addons can extend or add to these, but we're not going into detail about it here. The right panel (by default) consists of a Tools tab and a Utilities tab. They can be spawned in the same way as regular entities, but have different characteristics, and rely on vehicle scripts to determine their fundamental properties. Vehicles are special classes of entities that can be driven (or ridden in, in some cases). These are basically entities that simulate intelligence and look like humans (or not). It could look like a wooden crate, but perform actions such as moving around on its own, or allowing the player to fly around when broken. An entity can be programmed to do much more. A wooden crate for example can be broken apart (this is a feature of the model) but does nothing else. A prop is a primitive type of entity and, whilst subject to physics, has no mind of its own. EntitiesĪn entity is a dynamic object, and can respond differently according to various inputs. Unlike the spawnlists (and for most of the spawn menu), the weapons tab is not customisable. While Garry's Mod is about building, the game is also popular for the variety of weapons on the workshop. The panel on the left of the list of props is customisable and can be looked through to find different props. The spawnlists tab has props which you can spawn by pressing lmb leftclick. To spawn a prop, NPC, weapon or entity, hover over the item you want to spawn and click with your lmb left mouse button.įor options relating to the item you are hovering over, rmb rightclick on the item. It can also be used to access saved games and duplications. The panel on the left, which is the biggest one on most screens, can be used to spawn, vehicles and entities. When you have the Spawn Menu opened you will no longer control your crosshair but instead have a cursor which you can use to operate the spawn menu with. Open the Spawn Menu by simply pressing and holding q or whatever button you have assigned in the Game Options. From the menu you can spawn props, NPCs, weapons etc. The Spawn Menu consists of all models, weapons, NPCs, entities and tools you can use in your game.
