In-game configurable tool menu.
- NPC Model Field: Copy an NPC mdl link from your spawnlist and paste it into the field to set the model of the NPCs that spawn from the dispenser/drop pod.
- Dispenser Model Field: Copy an mdl link of any prop from your spawnlist and paste it into the field to set the model of the dispenser/drop pod.
- NPC Weapon Field: Copy a weapon class from the weapons tab in your spawnlist and paste it into the field to give the NPCs that spawn from the dispenser/drop pod to give them that weapon.
- NPC Health Slider: Move the slider left or right to set the health of the NPCs that spawn from the dispenser/drop pod.
- Min Spawn Slider: Move the slider left or right to set the minimum time it takes for NPCs to spawn in.
- Max Spawn Slider: Move the slider left or right to set the max time it takes for NPCs to randomly spawn in or how long it takes for the last NPC to spawn in.
- Dispenser Health Slider: Move the slider left or right to set the health of the dispenser/drop pod.
- NPC Amount Slider: Move the slider left or right to choose how many NPCs you want to spawn in from the dispenser/drop pod.
- NPC Weapon Proficiency List Box: Choose how well the NPCs aim is with the weapons you give them on the tool. (v2)
- Presets: You can now save the values you choose to custom presets! Simply click on the green + symbol in the top right of the tool menu to save the CURRENT values you have set on the tool. Click the wrench icon to view all of your saved presets and you can further edit your saved presets via the editor. (v2)
- NPC Class Field: You can now use custom NPCs rather than just having the option to change the NPCs model and using the default Half-Life hostile NPC class. (v3)
- NPC Model Field: The model field is now optional, leave this field blank if you would like to use your NPCs default model or paste a NPC model path to override the NPCs default model. (v3)
- NPC Relationship List Box: You can now choose if the NPCs from the drop pod should be hostile or friendly towards players and NPCs. (v3)
- Right-Click: Simple little extra feature, right click on any NPC to get the NPCs class if you want to avoid looking through your lists of different NPCs in your spawnmenu. (v3)
