Groundwatch

Description
Similarly to my other addon, these new 'vehicles' try to mimic the original NPC's behavior as closely as I could get them while also keeping the addon itself user friendly.

REQUIRES HALF LIFE 2 EPISODE 2

Features

Strider
  • A incredibly accurate main gun with decent damage
  • The strider's signature belly cannon
  • The best height-advantage you're going to get without going airborne
  • Sounds identical to that of the NPC
  • Did I mention you can traverse rivers if they aren't too deep?

Hunter
  • Built-in flechette launcher
  • Fully-animated melee attacks
  • Identical sounds to that of the NPC
  • The ability to trample people with often deadly results

Controls

Universal
  • E - Enter/Exit
  • W/A/S/D - Movement
  • Sprint - Sprint
  • Control - Toggle thirdperson
  • Walk - Freelook
  • Mouse 1 - Primary attack

Strider
  • Reload - Sounds
  • Mouse 2 - Strider cannon

Hunter
  • Reload - Idle sounds + animation
  • Sprint + Reload - Angry sounds + animation
  • Freelook + Reload - Scanning sounds
  • Mouse 2 - Melee attack

Notes
  • The map used in the screenshots is rp_ineu_valley_2_v1a
  • Striders cannot currently duck because of a hitbox issue
  • Console commands for adjusting health are available under the gw_ prefix
  • NPC's do not interact with either entity
  • You can find the entities under entities -> Groundwatch

Credits
  • Hoplite for pointing out several major issues
  • Matt for helping with testing
  • Taco N Banana for giving me a developer position and plenty of positive feedback following the release of airwatch
  • Valve for making the source SDK publicly available
  • Everyone who subscribed to the original addon for giving me the motivation to keep working on this and more.

Something i wish existed for playable hunter addons is they would have the "Special Killmoves" that they perform on rebels in episode 2 i know there is a mod called dynamic interactions that adds these into gmod but i want those animations to play when im playing as a hunter like make it so that there is a specific HP level and a bind key to perform a "Special Killmove" it would be my dream.
