Garry’s Mod Achievement – “Ball Eater”

I couldn’t be bothered to have 200 or so balls flying about my server only to have to manually track and eat them up. So, I made a script…

[Ball joke here]

You will need Ulysses Mod installed for this to work. I was planning to use ent_create for this script but Garry’s Mod automatically disables achievements when you enable sv_cheats, which is required for ent_create to function properly. Yes, I know you can execute that command in Singleplayer, but it’s tricky to use and can easily crash your session. ulx ent is much easier and safer to use.

//Ball Eater script
alias ball "ball1"
alias ball1 "ulx ent sent_ball; alias ball ball2; ball2"
alias ball2 "+USE; wait 8; ball1"
alias sball "alias ball ; alias ball1; alias ball1 "
bind p "sball"
bind t "ball"
//End script


Copy the code above into a file called ballscript.cfg. Place that file into the garrysmod cfg folder (typically C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\steam_username\garrysmod\garrysmod\cfg) and while in game, open the console with the ` (grave, above the tab) key and type exec ballscript.cfg Note, if the console doesn’t open, enable it in the Options –> Advanced menu when you pause the game.

While in game, aim directly at the floor and press t. Press p when you have the achievement.
