Dupes, short for duplicates or duplications, are a feature within Garry’s Mod that allows players to craft and distribute their creations. Essentially, dupes serve as saved replicas of object arrangements, enabling deployment of complex structures or designs within the game.
Functionality & Usage
The functionality of dupes in Garry's Mod is facilitated by the Duplicator tool. Here’s how you use it:
- Craft your creation using welding or other tools.
- Access the “Q” menu and choose the Duplicator option.
- Right-click to copy your crafted creation.
- Navigate to the Dupes tab within the “Q” menu.
- Save your creation for future use by clicking the save button in the Dupes menu.
Moreover, the Duplicator tool allows the capability to duplicate multiple props in a single dupe. This functionality is achieved through welding various props together using the Weld tool.
Community
Dupes serve as a foundation of the Garry’s Mod community, widely used by players for their versatility and convenience. Accessible through the Dupes tab in the “Q” menu, players can create their own dupes and also use others as well through the Steam Workshop.
