Better Armor System v 1

Description
This is an addon which changes how the armor system works in gmod

What does it do?
This is an addon which changes how the armor system works.

How does it change the armor system?
the armor system now acts alot more like a shield than actual armor which we use.

1. Armor Regens
2. Armor is depleted before damage is done to the user

Convars?
<convar> <default int>
shield_strength 5
shieldregen_max 255
shieldregen_ammount 1
shieldregen_speed 15

oh 2 years.... and still the best armor system addon in the game. I'm still using it and still like it. :steamthumbsup:

You still know how to make one for health instead?
I'm gonna donate to your paypal in the meantime because out of all the slop addons on the store; this one was a hidden gem.

On the other hand it is realistic for a shield/armor system to recharge even if you're taking health damage because the system itself isn't exerting itself, I just thought it was strange at first, perhaps if this ever gets updated, I hope there would be an option to configure whether it should recharge even after taking health damage or exclusively armor damage.

I've done some good tests with this mod and I like it so far. It doesn't force amount restrictions if the shield exceeds the maximum number and is really performs much better than most other shield and armor type mods.

However my only nitpicks with this mod are that when the shield is fully depleted, it will still recharge no matter how much damage I take without it meaning that shield regen only stops when the shield itself is taking damage and not player health. And if I take tiny amounts of damage and the armor reaches 1 it registers as fully depleted even though there is 1 bit left.

Still a good mod. I hope it improves.

I heard some good things from this addon so I came to take a look at it. If all goes well. I hope there can be a version where it can have an energy shield effect. I hope there aren't any blood splat effects while the armor is active. If there is no interest in coming back to this then I at least hope others are allowed to make custom versions by using the system code. Looks promising.

Is it possible to commission you to make an edit of your old "Better Armor System v 1" But instead of being a server wide thing, make it into a SWEP that can be enabled and disabled, so it becomes a "Personal Shield"
