Basically, the Advanced Pod Controller (APC) is used so you can use most of your buttons inside the pod (W, A, S, D, mouse1/2, space, etc.). It's really useful when making vehicles using the APC instead of the numpad because this way, you can use your mouse to look around instead of constantly jumping back and forth between the mouse and the numpad. First of all, to enable the APC, you need to spawn one somewhere (most likely attached to your vehicle/contraption) and link it to the seat you're using by right clicking on the APC and right clicking on the seat.
Instead of writing all the inputs here, I copied them from the GMod wiki page.
*****
Inputs
- Lock - Disables anyone from getting in. NOTE: Does not disable keys.
- Terminate - Kills the player inside.
- Strip weapons - Removes all the weapons of the player inside.
- Eject - Ejects the player inside.
- Disable - Sets W, S, A, D, R, Space, Alt, Shift, Mouse1, Mouse2, and Zoom values to 0.
- Crosshairs - Toggles the crosshairs for the vehicle.
- Brake - Turns on the Hand Break for the vehicle.
- Allow Buttons - Allows you to interact with Wire Buttons with the left mouse button
- Relative - Makes the Bearing and Elevation outputs relative to the Bearing and Elevation of the pod.
- Damage Health - Damages Health by input amount.
- Damage Armor - Damages Armor by input amount.
The outputs are fairly self-explanatory, up to these few:
X, Y, Z, Distance, Active, and Team.
The XYZ outputs are for where the player is looking when he is inside the pod. This is useful if you want to make a missile and need it to fly at a moving target.
Distance is how far away the point the player is looking at is.
Team is what team the player is (Not really used any more, some servers I've been on use the teams Mingebag, Respected, Admin, Guest, etc.)
Active is useful for if you want a person getting in the seat to trigger something. I recently used this with a sound emitter to make an engine sound for a car.
