Can't sit down in G mod.

[Habakkuk]

Ok. I'm probbably just being a noob, but I can't sit down when I'm playing Garrys Mod. Obviously, this is really anoying when I've just built a vehicle and would like to sit in it.

I thought that to sit down, you had to stand near the seat (I'm using the car seat) and press "E" but that isn't working and neither are any of the other buttons. Is there something I need to do first?

I'm probably just being a noob, but any help would be appreciated.

Apparently, you simply can't sit at all, you have to work around it. Check this: http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Contraption_newbie_tutorial

Thanks for responding.
The thing is, most of the videos I've seen online show someone sitting down.

Thanks though.

I remember managing to sit down in my rocket powered fridge when I first got GMod, so either they've taken out the option or you've missed something.

I have no idea how I did it, though.

The trick is to spawn a seat that is a vehicle, as opposed to a prop. I learned this the hard way. While you have the spawn menu open, select the Vehicles tab at the top and then pick the one you want. Before attaching anything to it, check to see if it works by standing near the seat and hitting the use button - default is E, you may have accidentally remapped it.

I'll use an airboat as an example. With the Vehicles tab open, click on the airboat. This version of it behaves exactly as it does in the Half-Life games, whereas the prop version is an inactive statue. You have to use the vehicle if you want to sit in it.

Of course, you are free to attach things to vehicles, or attach them to stuff.

Oh, and an unrelated GMod tip: turn your thruster noise off in multiplayer or they'll kick you faster than you can say "lol, u mad bro?"

Thankyou. I've just tried that and it works perfectly. I knew I was doing something stupid.

Fantastic. Thanks.
