Garry's Mod is a sandbox mod for the Source Engine. Unlike normal games there aren't any predefined aims or goals. Players are given tools and are left to entertain themselves. The player is in a world where objects can be created and destroyed on demand. Where people can be created and destroyed with the click of a mouse. A world made for him. A world he made.

Info: This SENT/Scripted Vehicle hybrid allows you to skate around the level on a hoverboard. Complete with jumping, twisting, boosting and grinding, the hoverboard uses a unique system of physics simulation to provide smooth and easily controlled movement.
Controls: Face the direct you want to go and press forward. Jump power is relative to how fast you are going. Pressing strafe buttons in mid air will rotate you respectively. Pressing duck will temporarily disable the hover mechanism and allow you to grind. (note: the board will hover over water but not under water. Additionally, you cannot jump while over water). Pressing sprint will engage your boost thruster. The trails identify the booster state. Blue = ready, Red = boosting, Yellow = charging.
Other Info: The UT3 hoverboard model was compiled by Jinto. Coding was a collaboration between Jinto and I. The sounds are all ripped from base HL2 content. Clients will download required content when joining servers.
More Shit: It works very well in both single and multiplayer. We chose quality over quantity
which means if you have too many of them in a server, you will experience lag. The reason being is the physics simulation is not an easy equation, and is called very often. Don't bitch about it because without it, the movement wouldn't be as good as it is. We're not going to change it. Jinto spent a lot of time optimizing it as best as he could. Also, we won't change it so you can attack while riding it, deal with it or change it yourself. There is probably more I should say, but can't think of it at the moment.
Disclaimer: Playing with this is incredibly addictive. I say that with experience. Jinto and I had a hard time keeping our 2 day project deadline because we couldn't concentrate on coding, and kept finding ourselves dicking around on them. (yes it took us 2 days... so what, big whoop, want to fight about it?)

Nice! But a problem with the UT3 hoverboard, LOOKS LIKE AN IRONING BOARD. But other than that, its fun to use, and VERY addictive.
I love the idea :), who said back to the future? :)
Sweet!

When i click spawn hover board nothing takes place
where to put the file???? if u are using vista, go program files, find steam, enter steam, go to SteamApps, then go Source Mods, after u download and extracted a mod, copy the mod and paste in on the Source Mods, don;t be alarm if the mod is not in the game list, u must restart steam in order for the game to appear.
