Honestly given how long ago and feature rich this addon is im surprised there even is updates to begin with.

Personally I say don't sweat it. You've done alot of work for this tool so far so I think a break is well overdue.

sockpuppetclock [автор] 25 окт. в 17:56

ah, sorry about updates slowing down recently. I've been overwhelmed this semester at school, so it'll be a while

sompychessrabies 25 окт. в 17:39

is conditional spawning still ever gonna become a thing? would still like it

Spawn Hybrid 28 септ. в 3:22

Lol

cityn 28 септ. в 3:20

i fixed it, i was just messing with the radiuses too much lol

cityn 28 септ. в 2:57

also, when i spawn the chaos kit, i instantly get messages that the npcs have been defeated (antlioness has been defeated, drone warfare has been defeated)

cityn 28 септ. в 2:56

nah that's not it, they were spawning before. maybe its some setting or something else?

Spawn Hybrid 27 септ. в 7:24

@cityn Check around the map. Sometimes enemies spawn in weird places. You might have hit your npc limit without realizing it because the npcs are spawning outside the normal map area or something. Use noclip to check.

cityn 27 септ. в 7:15

other npcs cant spawn now too :/

cityn 27 септ. в 7:13

for some reason combine doesn't spawn. other npcs like antlions and zombies spawn.

I may have forgotten to mention the fact that the command to reset convars alongside the button to do so in Options is not working

Salil Al-Sawarim 400BPM Edit 28 авг. в 20:13

how do I reset my convars? the reset convars button doesn't work and for some reason my radiuses are too big, resulting in zero spawns

penguino 25 авг. в 16:58

Is it possible to make a survival minigame with this addon? Like how weaker enemies spawn at wave 1 and then it gets progressively harder until wave 10. It could be right underneath the "Help" button in the NPCD tab.

RyRy629 25 авг. в 16:28

i thought this would of been a controlling npc that summons minions, but this is more interesting.

sockpuppetclock [автор] 19 авг. в 6:31

well to be exact itll drop it on them if either the npc doesnt have Give() or what youre trying to give is not classified as a weapon

sockpuppetclock [автор] 19 авг. в 6:06

if it drops the weapon on them instead of equipping it that means the npc internally does not have the Give() function. its up to whoever made the npc to handle code for giving weapons.

Spawn Hybrid 19 авг. в 5:52

@Blackstaff It's near the very top near the setting where you pick the npc itself. You can even give npcs weapons even if it's an npc that can't usen them normally. Such as giving manhacks the hl2 pulse rifle.

Blackstaff 19 авг. в 3:25

Kind of clueless. Is there any way to give lua NPCs (it's what I'm assuming this entity is) weapons on spawn? Currently, the script ordains itself to drop whatever weapon is defined ontop of it's head, instead of giving it to them directly. Normal weapon overrides through context menu work as expected, even when spawned through NPCD tab. Is there any solution here?

sockpuppetclock [автор] 16 авг. в 22:30

I'm not actually sure what button you're talking about, but if you ever delete a profile (accidentally or otherwise) it will be moved to garrysmod/data/npcd/trash/

The German Empire 16 авг. в 4:08

OKAY NEVERMIND WE'RE GOOD, JESUS FUCK I was scared I just PERMANENTLY fucked my file

The German Empire 16 авг. в 4:07

okay this is really bad, I can't find ANYTHING, the NPCs are fucking gone:tm:, everything is gone, I don't know what to do, please help

The German Empire 16 авг. в 4:04

So uhm, I may have just fucked up, I hit 'Clear NPC Profiles' and everything's gone, I dunno what to do, how do I have to reinstall the addon?

Salil Al-Sawarim 400BPM Edit 15 авг. в 19:00

Oh, wish I thought of that! Thanks a bunch!

sockpuppetclock [автор] 15 авг. в 18:40

Radiuses have the value "Spawn Distance Hard Minimum" to stop them from spawning too close, though sometimes the spawn velocities push enemies closer than you'd expect.

Salil Al-Sawarim 400BPM Edit 15 авг. в 11:30

I wish there was an exclusion area for player spawning in this addon. NPCs and ents like to spawn next to me for some reason

Max Malevich 1 авг. в 2:40

Are you thinking of perhaps adding spawnpoints for NPCs? This would be extremely useful for scenario building in case you want them to spawn in a specific area and not just haphazardly around the map.

Gnilomord 30 юли в 0:26

is it possible to set up a behavior similar to a shotgunner? There are a ton of shotguns for NPCs, but they are absolutely useless for these same NPCs (they behave like a combine with an SMG that shoots from afar)

Agitatio 22 юли в 10:59

The number of options is overwhelming, but at the same time allows for incredible customisation. Insane for custom addon setups that change gameplay drastically, and I don't think any other spawner comes close.

sockpuppetclock [автор] 6 юли в 12:37

So far there is this basic tutorial https://imgur.com/a/npcd-tutorial-basic-profile-preset-creation-HB44zE9 Besides that I've been thinking recently of how to integrate more of the gmod wiki into the addon since that's where most of the information would come from

Roachstradamus 6 юли в 4:52

Probably a dumb question, but is there any documentation or guides on how to use this? I have a hard time finding where to start

sockpuppetclock [автор] 26 юни в 19:58

@johnppjc if those killzone npcs have custom weapons they could be given it with the "weapon" value
or you can try npcd options > Profiles > "Generate Profile from Current Install To Pending" and it might give you a template for those vjbase npcs

Salil Al-Sawarim 400BPM Edit 26 юни в 19:15

thanks a bunch! You're a lifesaver, this is gonna RULE!

johnppjc 26 юни в 18:12

@sockpuppetclock i there a way for vjbase npcs to keep there custom weapon. Like the killzone npcs

sockpuppetclock [автор] 26 юни в 18:02

Hmm, right now not specifically when they spawn. For when they die, the closest is (damage filter) > Actions: Attacker > Entity Functions, and then running the ConCommand function, but thatd only be called if the killer is a player.

Salil Al-Sawarim 400BPM Edit 26 юни в 17:15

Is there a way to output commands when an NPC spawns or dies? I want to make it so when a certain preset spawns it turns off the autospawning functions, so it's like a climactic fight that makes things stop.

sompychessrabies 19 юни в 17:44

is there ever going to be a spawn on wall value

Corz299 7 юни в 10:45

how to reset, it stopped spawning stuff in

Rocket Man 4 юни в 23:05

it could be very interesting to mess around with if that works

sockpuppetclock [автор] 4 юни в 20:49

i'll look into player preset limits!

as for prop_data.... it might be possible? if its really just a keyvalue you could add a "prop_data" keyvalue with the lines as the values. but QC scripts may or may not require each entry be a separate line, so i might need to add multiline support to the text entry???

Rocket Man 4 юни в 20:35

is it possible to embed prop_data into entities? if so how could it be done?

Salil Al-Sawarim 400BPM Edit 1 юни в 19:36

Can we have player preset limits? I want to have hero characters of whom there can only be one of at a time, so there's not 20 gordon freemen

Rocket Man 31 май в 15:46

suggestion: a damage <condition> that passes depending on how far the player/attacker/victim is, basically a distance check, passes or doesn't pass if the player is far or near

Rocket Man 29 май в 16:58

is there a way to simulate gibbing particles made by breakable surfaces by using effects/deatheffects?

Rocket Man 19 май в 19:54

The "reset" button next to convars don't work

Rocket Man 19 май в 19:50

Suggestion: a percentage or number next to the stress/pressure bars to see exactly how much pressure/stress there is

burntfrenchfries 18 май в 22:55

ah yeah, thats the term i meant, profiles. it would be nice if there was a discord to share and find some

sockpuppetclock [автор] 18 май в 22:52

ah, there's isn't a place yet. though you can import profiles and copy the presets from the profile

burntfrenchfries 18 май в 22:50

No, I mean a place to download and find presets.

sockpuppetclock [автор] 18 май в 22:46

preset creating/editing is done in the Configure Profiles option. there's also a NPCD spawnmenu tab

burntfrenchfries 18 май в 22:11

Where can I find presets?
