Name: LUA Scripted Strategic Remote Gun Placement
Type: Scripted Weapon
Script Version: 1.0
GM Version: 8.4 build 013

Short Description: Strategic Remote Gun Placements, or SRGPs, are capable of firing an explosive projectile over a long distance.

Long Description: SRGPs use a sophisticated laser-tracking technology to determine the target of a projectile. Using simple trajectory calculations, the SRGP adjusts the elevation and rotation angle using a rotating base according to the distance and location of the target. At long distances, however, small inaccuracies must be compensated for.

-- Installation Instructions --
 * Place weapon_srgp.lua in the gmod\lua\weapons\ folder.
 * Adjust any variables in the "User Variables" section of the weapon_srgp.lua file if needed.
 * Start a single or multi player game.
 * To give yourself the weapon, open the command console and type:
     lua _PlayerGiveSWEP(1, "weapons\\weapon_srgp.lua")
 * The weapon uses pistol ammo, so to give yourself pistol ammo, type:
     _PlayerGiveAmmo(1, 99999, "pistol", true)

-- Usage Instructions --
 * Switch to the weapon.
 * Place SRGPs in front of you by pressing primary fire, possibly multiple times.
 * To switch to fire mode, press secondary fire.
 * You can now fire the sRGPs at any location you would like by pointing to a location and pressing primary fire.
 * To switch back to SRGP placement mode, press secondary fire again.
