Description
Destruction effects, sounds for EVERY breakable build.

Have you ever thought that damn, destruction in gmod is AWESOME!
What if it could be better?

What if you could, really..
HEAR...
A bridge strain under it's own weight?

FEEL
The destruction of a massive tower...

SEE
For yourself...?


I hope you can understand now, how
the best part of destruction was always,
The TENSION in the air.



But how does it work?
Tension reads every constraint created, then does two things with them.
  • First it checks a couple times a second, how much strain every constraint is under.
    Then it plays sounds that can range from subtle, quiet bending sounds, to DRAMATIC, bombastic audio, which can be best achieved with "Weight" editing tools!

  • Second, tension plays sounds, and a bit more, whenever constraints SNAP!
    This can happen when a constrained prop breaks, or when a constraint's force limit is exceeded!
    If this happens on large, heavy props ( bridge/building chunks ) tension will..
    Spawn dust when these objects land, play WOOSHING sounds if they fall far, fast enough, and create mapwide echoes after they land.

  • That's pretty much it! The addon DOES NOT modify the game's physics at all, it only reacts to what's happening.
    And TENSION is built with optimization in mind, it won't significantly affect performance.



TENSION Works great with...
gm_calamitycoast_hl2 ( bridge map, with constraints )
phys_town_v2_fix ( another constrained bridge )
OptiWeld ( build welding tool that isn't total trash like smartweld, do NOT use smartweld )
Improved Weight ( best prop weight editing tool )
Destructible Props Replacement


Commands!
tension_sv_enabled ( enable/disable the addon LIVE! ) tension_sv_screenshake_enabled ( enable/disable the annoying(?) screenshake ) tension_sv_autofreeze ( freezes the rubble of destroyed builds if the game's lagging ) tension_sv_adminsonly ( makes addon only work on admin owned props ) tension_cl_enabled ( disables entire addon, clientside ) tension_cl_screenshake_enabled tension_cl_volumemul ( ACTUAL VOLUME OPTION!!! )

WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning! Once there was a little girl called Clarissa, she was ten-years-old and she lived in a mental hospital, because she killed her mom and her dad. She got so bad she went to kill all the staff in the hospital so the More- government decided that best idea was to get rid of her so they set up a special room to kill her, as humane as possible but it went wrong the machine they were using went wrong. And she sat there in agony for hours until she died. Now every week on the day of her death she returns to the person that reads this letter, on a monday night at 12:00a.m. She creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by cutting you and watching you bleed to death. Now send this to ten other profiles on this one site, and she will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently, if u copy and paste this to ten comments in the next ten minutes u will have the best of your life. TIC TOC.
