(GM_) NOISY PROPS

Description
Addon disowned + nuked because I'm disgusted by the rampant use of GenAI and regret using it even a little bit.
i'll keep working on a version of this that doesn't use ai, but i refuse to have this on my workshop anymore
cringe bro



i've got a fun idea for you...
GM_
GHOST (IN THE) MACHINE_
A "Ghost in the Machine", as i've understood it, frequently refers to unintended side-effects of things left to run on their own for a long time

this has nothing to do with an ARG, there's no black figures, there's no "liminal" hooha, schizo jokes are lame and you should be nicer to people. :D

this is a mod i've wanted to make for a long long time, hopefully the first part of a line of similar addons (if i can find a proper coder), to add a sort of "digital unwellness" to garry's mod- not really a ghost or hauntings, just unnerving oddities that have *potential* to spook people, while just being a cool novelty.
props will rattle and make noises when no one's around. doors will open and close on their own. something will seemingly be behind you, making noises, but always just out of sight. like an npc going about it's business talking to you, but you can't find it, or a turret waking up like it's detected something but nothing is there. (THESE ARE JUST IDEAS, AND ARE NOT IN THIS MOD. THE ONLY THING THIS MOD CONTAINS IS PROPS MAKING NOISE.)
you will become convinced there's something wrong with your game... like there's a...
ghost in the machine. /music plays
also the gnome talks, it's the wayneradiotv reference, because i think it's funny


this is not meant to simulate a "haunted gmod ooh rp downtown" whatever nonsense, this was just a project i've had in mind for a long time, because i was upset with the wasted potential of certain game that came out around the time i got the idea.
i think traditonal "gmod is haunted buhh there's a ghost cuz the map maker killed themselves" or whatever is kinda bogus, but the idea of a game just rotting and it's falloff causing little unintended spooky side effects is cool
there's also a fantastic map that claimed to have put forces in motion that resulted in the map playing completely unpredictably- which i fell in love with as a concept.
so now, with the help of evil evil AI (because everyone else i sold on the idea dipped), i made this.

what actually is this mod?
well, it checks for props. if it finds certain props, it makes them emit sounds. they might spook you. it's like RNG ambient horror, or just extra noises.
when? i dunno. it's all on a cluster of random timers. that's the fun of it. you could hear something from a few rooms away, or right beside you.
the unknown factor is the fun.

the base of this code was 90% ai generated, i hate it, and it's not even good code.
but it works, and i've ironed out any issues i experienced with my human(?) hands.
think of this as a proof of concept!
this is stupid, and niche, and only a few people are gonna want to play with something like this enabled.
but that's the point :D

IF YOU WANT SOMETHING LIKE THIS, BUT WITHOUT THE "SPOOKY" STUFF, CHECK OUT "DYNAMIC PROP AMBIENCE!
Get that here!
It's also way more fleshed out and way more better-er coded. :D
Highly recommend. You can also run both mods together!

And no I can't add screenshots of a prop making sounds, that's not how images work, and I can't record a video because I'd just be walking around a map for an hour *hoping* something happens. Just install it if you're curious or don't :V
