We'll have a movie out of this soon :D MovieCube is a very powerful tool that lets you create scripts for models to follow. Press TAB to access the menu when in MovieCube Mode! Check out this video by a GoBologna, a High School student who is demonstrating scripted waypoint paths he created with only a few minutes of tinkering.

Not to offend anyone, but what is the point of this really because looking at this remindes me of gmod.
With this you can create your own commercial games, something you can't do with Garry's Mod. Take care.
