How I Make GMOD Machinimas Tutorial

Some tips for how I make GMOD videos. It is not as in-depth as it could be, because I am not a good teacher. Hopefully it will give you a starting point to make your own.

"It is good to weld them to the ground so they do not wander off after filming." I can relate.

So, Scout has escaped again (Presumably back through the white void) and all sentient 'actors' are bound to the floor in between Gmod sessions until needed.. scout is the only one able to make an escape at the moment.

He doesn't try to hide unusual things, they're just there. And I really like it, this is an interesting approach.

[@SwaggyG_2102]

Y'know what I just realized? In Passage, the radio started telling the Scout to run when he got near the door. What if the radio was telling Scout to run not because the player had loaded into the map, but rather the door that the player uses to teleport to other maps had appeared?

[@poofal1283]

huh, nice theory.

"Now he can run to his heart's content." "But we do not want him running around aimlessly." "Looks like Melonman has to come help him again." all this stuff has a creepy vibe because of the things weve already seen

gunslingerpro also has a similar guide video on their channel. They do the exact same content and with similar issues with actors 'wandering off' and 'acting on their own accord'. That type of stuff all Gmod animators have to deal with.

[@salembendeck]

At this point I don't even care about the ARG, this is genuinely entertaining.

[@Ljorf]

If you look real close at around 5:04 you can see the engineer move on its own. The buildings in the back that we can see through gaps in the menu don't move but engineer moves to the left anyways. Try setting it to 0.25x speed if you're having trouble seeing it.

[@commanderskittles6558]

Did anyone elses jaw dropped when they saw the gateway thing, so it isn't just a plot device the TF2 ragdoll characters use

[@Tinotin12]

When I first saw it I assumed it was the gateway for the player to travel, and I was right somehow

[@Bunny_named_Pointy]

My mind went blank when i saw that, If the player could join in that area then he caught scout. And i was right

[@robertd686]

In which case the scout immediately broke out again. I guess the show of him breaking out of his weld constraints has become further relevant. I'd bet that he'll use that to continue to thwart Badwater's efforts in containing him. Atleast until Badwater either deletes him or shove him in a cell.

[@xI-MIKE-Ix]

@@Tinotin12 So this could basically mean that the player never really disconnects from the game when trying to change map, he just goes through that door and teleports... Hmm...

1:33 a small detail i noticed here, did anyone see how Scout's arm didn't completely drop down when Badwater let go of him? usually when a ragdoll has an unfrozen part, it drops down immediately and would swing slightly when let go, regardless of if the hardware models are being used or not. Scout's arm doesn't do that, but instead it awkwardly stays at his waist as if he's nervous. interesting.

[@Bukaboi-gw7fc]

[@halberd-3291]

0:51 that’s the same door seen in “Passage.” 1:05 The “actors” try to run away when Badwater isn’t looking. 1:23 the same Red Scout as in “tf2 sawmill gameplay,” “the broken TV,” and “Passage” is shown captured by Badwater, confirming that is what took place at the end of “Passage.” 3:30 Scout got away from the set and escaped somehow. 3:33 Badwater seemingly goes to search for Scout, but since he ends up using the Red Engineer for his tutorial instead, it seems like Scout got away, which should be impossible considering they’re in a closed gmod map. This suggests that when Scout appeared in Passage after almost being deleted in the previous video, he was teleported somewhere else or somehow saved again in a similar away. And the same thing is happening here. 4:31 This shows Badwater is impatient. 5:15 Badwater removes Engineer from the shadowy building and the video cuts away, implying he doesn’t want him there. He went to seemingly search for Scout there, so it’s possible there’s something wrong with that area? 5:51 Badwater purposefully slams the Engineer into the couch. All in all this serves to explain and answer some key questions raised in previous videos. 1. The sentient gmod models have tried to escape from Badwater before. 2. The strange white door that appeared in Passage is used by Badwater to move between maps. This along with the appearance of the Red Scout once more explains what happened at the end of Passage - Scout was transported from the Sawmill map to another, but was then lured into a space that Badwater had control over to be captured again. It also confirms that the voice speaking through the radio in Passage is against Badwater, as it is saying in code “you must hide” and “you must run,” or something like that. 3. Badwater is impatient and can be cruel to the characters he uses in his Machinimas. 4. The same force that may have helped Scout escape the Sawmill map and tried to help Scout in “Passage” may have also allowed him to escape in this video too. Do it is still active. 5. Badwater is aware something is helping Scout but seems to be unable to fully understand or counter it. This was another great video. Thank you Badwater!

Hey, remember the white room in this map? Maybe Scout escaped through there and that's why he was able to escape and Badlands doesn't want the other "actors" there. Plus, that would explain why the passage is white. It's the white room. When the characters get deleted, they get sent through the passage and to their original game instead of getting killed. Badlands was able to travel there and get these actors. But I'm just spitballing here.

so you're just gonna pretend he wasn't threatening melonman with deletion when he was apprehensive about punching engineer? or deleting the soldier that was deemed a failure? or rushing to delete a scout trying to crawl away? he's known for a while, and has no issues doing these terrible things.

The way that Badwater is so well spoken compared to what most youtubers in 2009 would talk like really adds to the overall eerie vibes his videos give off That and the whole ragdolls being sentient thing

Hey, how did you do that door thing? To get into maps I just usually use the map loader

[@soomlarr]

I like how BadwaterVideos explains how he gets the same ragdolls from one game to the next using a gman-door like technique, instead of just leaving the viewers to guess

[@evaphan2720]

Okay, that reference to Passage, that was actually cool, didn't expect it to be an actual gateway

[@nebbybrush9988]

Besides the horror element this just has so much charm I love it

[@mrviking2mcall212]

Is nobody going to mention how Gunslinger loved the engineer class (particularly the RED one), and would humiliate/torture the blue spy the most, and now Badwater mentions his favourite class is the spy and always has an engineer either disfigured as Teethgineer or cowardly needing help? Gunslinger’s favouritism allowed the red engineer the most ‘free will’ in his videos. I wonder what the spy is doing in Badwater’s game…

[@Terlinilia]

"Wow, Scout escaped through a white void thing, I hope that means he's safe!" _Badwater casually goes through the white space_ "oh no"

[@J_dnvg]

Hey so apparently. A little indie game called Minecraft came out May this year! Its got blocks and a lot of creative tools and stuff! Maybe it can also be used for cool Videos someday when more content comes out! But it hasnt been out long, so its pretty bare bones at the moment.

I can not wait to try out Minecraft. It seems like its a very promising game.

[@isaiahp.4609]

Neat, can you do a tutorial on how to make melonman type characters?

[@v3l50]

I think you disable the collisions on the prop you want to use (C/Hover your mouse over the prop/disable collisions) Then find the inflator tool and weld it onto the ragdoll's head (i'm not sure about this.) Then go to paint/ and find either eyes or any decal you want to use

@@v3l50 you mean the no collide tool?

That fit of rage as he moved the sawblades lmao

[@Tulip_bip]

i really love the idea that badwater thinks the ragdolls are supposed to move on their own, like its some weird feature and he's gotten used to it. who knows, maybe the same is true for gunslingerpro, except he's more aggressive with getting them to do what he wants

[@SwaggyG_2102]

It looks like our Red Scout was somehow recaptured by the player, only to then escape again. I wonder what happened?

[@unoriginalperson72]

Seems like the door to "freedom" was a trap the whole tome

[@sinctova]

So who was the guy on the radio in Passage? Was he another NPC?

[@missalrightisokay2101]

@@sinctova the one on the radio is likely a saviour of some kind; seeing as how Scout was the only one to not be deleted (and because killed/deleted characters don't really come back) it most likely saved him and tried communicating with him; to try and make him hide somewhere in the map (as when the numbers are translated, it says "You must hide" and then "Run") but he unfortunately got stuck in the rooms that Badwater goes through and most likely has no power there

the fact the badwater went into the dark rooms to find scout, and engie trying to go there as well tells me that the "scary ghost man in dark" arg is probably in here as well

Dude, your videos are so amazing. You make these videos look like that they are actually from 2009, and you are so God damn amazing with it. You are even using GMOD 11 to make it look like it's from there. I remember when GMOD was free...

[@maidan6425]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, I've been wanting to get into Gmod animation for a while now. The tutorial was not too complex and doesn't too much technical know-how. I also love that effect with the doorway between maps, I've never seen editing like that, would you ever consider giving us a tutorial on how to do something like that? If you're not too busy that is, I know the Melonman series has been taking up a lot of your time.

Amazing tutorial! I have been trying to figure out running for a long time, so thanks! But I have one question, how do you make or use that door that goes between maps? I think it’s really cool and I want to use it as well! I can only imagine the g-mod skits I could make with that door! Near endless possibilities!

[@CreepyboomGamer]

Yeah, For someone who doesn’t know gunslinger, he sure seems to like like red engineer.

[@SwaggyG_2102]

It seems that the door that the player used to get the characters, is the same door that appeared in Passage. Perhaps this was the same door that appeared in The Broken TV? If so, then it might explain how the Scout managed to escape the player.

[@Downshift1-6]

I think maybe that door is to different maps and they can never escape

[@wozzylmao]

Hmm, I guess scout already knew how to make a ragdoll walker, smart!
