Garry’s Mod: Chainlift Tool Guide

To create a chainlift the automatic way, first you need to tick the little box in the tool menu that says “hook up mover”:

This will make the next node you place turn green, so movers will connect to the chain lift by touching it.

The rest of the steps are as follows:

1. press SHIFT+R to enable automatic waypoint connections
2. left-click to place nodes along any path you want (if you did the above correctly, the first node should turn green)
3. once you’ve placed all your nodes, you can re-position them with the physgun if you want to
4. right-click to place a mover.
5. weld the mover to a chair or some other contraption that you want to move along the path
6. to send the mover along the path, simply touch the green node with it, and it will also turn green and start to move along the path.
