Desired's Squad Assigner

Description
A simple STool that allows you to assign NPCs to squads you define using Source's 'Squad Name' key value. Reminiscent of the 'Squad NPC STool' from the old garrysmod website.

NPCs in squads, unlike standard NPCs, will work together in taking down enemies by sharing information on them and taking turns to both attack and cover each other.

You can find the STool on the right sidebar under 'Desired's STools'. To use, set a name in the text box under 'Squad Name' and left-click on an NPC.

Note: As a limitation of the engine, there can only be a maximum of 16 NPCs in one squad. Also, only two NPCs may attack simultaneously, so consider creating small but multiple squads for large-scaled battles.

@croaux Source only keeps track of one squad name per NPC, so assigning a new squad to an NPC must necessarily replace the old value.

Can an NPC be in two different squads at once? Or does assigning a new squad to an NPC cancel out it's previous one?

dont think its the mod, i tested it myself using a different method and it stopped working once the save was reloaded

Desired, idk if this is a problem that can be fixed but if you assign squads and then save the game, when you load the game the squads disappear

I really like this but sometimes the left click doesn't work. Do you think you could make this binded to a button one day?
