So instead of flailing my physgun around and destroying half the map, I just tap the arrow keys or WASD and it moves 1 unit at a time. I'm saying I want to be able to rotate things by tapping one key at a time. Using the physgun is like trying to build a house with a drinking straw.ĭoesn't really apply. Rotation is also affected by the weight of the structure, which just makes it really clumsy for no reason. Or you can move your mouse around but that's a billion times less precise and rotates/moves it through like 6 axes whenever you're trying to make a simple correction.Īlso, the degree-snapping doesn't even work like you'd expect, because not all the models are aligned properly, it's just not possible. Moving something requires you to line yourself up perfectly, hold crouch, tap WASD. It also only applies to rotation, not movement. I'm used to 3D modelling programs and Autocad. You can change the value for number of degrees to rotate in console. No obvious way to undo wires, so I end up undoing one of my prop spawns or something instead.Īnd this is just talking single player, nevermind the children in the online community :Pġ - You can hold shift while rotating to snap to 45 degree increments. It's just a bunch of squares that look the same.īy default I'm tapping 1 and 6 continuously to get to my physgun and toolgun. You can't tell how large the SProps are from the thumbnails because they are not to scale, AND and no names are displayed. It's also snap with Smartsnap, but if you're standing next to a prop and press E, your character PICKS IT UP! So SmartSnap is for precision, but you can only Smartsnap stuff from far away :D Smartsnap is a mod, and not even built into the game.?Į is rotate with physgun. Why not lock the physics tool to one prop at a time?īy default, R unfreezes a bunch of stuff. No way to prevent accidentally unfreezing things with your physics tool. No way to precisely move or rotate things with keyboard inputs. No way to precisely move or rotate things along each axis, you have to swing them around like a madman with the physics tool and just hope everything works out.

I came back and everything is exactly the same.
