NPC Daemon

Description
NPC, NextBot, Entity & Player presets, smart automated squad spawning, drop sets, weapon sets, NPC scheduling, war and chaos.

NPC Daemon allows you to:
  • Customize entity and player presets with 100+ different properties
  • Automatically spawn squads, smartly, around the map
  • Manipulate spawned NPC schedules to seek out or chase enemies
  • Create drop sets for entities and players
  • Create equippable weapon sets for NPCs and players
  • Tweak A LOT of options

The spawning system is smarter than just constantly filling every node on the map. It can use navmeshes, nodes, or neither. It allows per-radius limits and despawning, and will check for things like distance from players, world collision, water level, and more. A player stress & pressure system is included to allow the spawning system to create natural highs and lows.

This addon works great for adding combat to any map or turning them into a battlefield.

Three example profiles are included: a starter kit with normal NPC squads; a VIP defense example where enemies chase after the VIP; and a "chaos kit" which shows off what's possible

Inspired by Jason's Zombie/NPC Invasion addon,
moomoohk & Kiddoneshon's Zombie/NPC Invasion+ update and SMOD's mapadd system

There's always work to do, expect more to come.

[SELF-RESOLVE] Help!!! I was a big dummy and deleted the starter kit's weapon sets thinking it was easily reversible!

you make a dropset preset in the dropset menu of your profile and assign what items are going to be dropped via preset and then go to an npc or entity and assign the dropset to either on death or on damage

How do you use the dropset feature?

I think the spawn on ceiling flag broke

@Qooji my method to make crates actually drop items is to make an entity be prop_physics, then give them the hl2 crate model, then set its hp to 1, make a dropset, and have it drop those items upon damage

@Qouji Customizable Entity Spawner my friend. It only works on maps with nodegraphs though.

Can you add support for the "item_item_crate" point entity? Using keyvalues to set the ItemClass that it drops doesn't seem to work at all.

For some weird reasons after a crash the addon doesn't consider me as an admin of my own solo server despite crashing many times before with it and never had this happen.

Why is Despawn not working. Not under any circumstances. Whatever the settings are, Despawn doesn't work. NPCs can exhaust their entire spawn limit, I fly to the other end of the map and they stop appearing. And there is no information anywhere on how to set up Despawn correctly.

add some sort of 3d/2d simulation for presets when switching colors/textures/bodygroups/etc.
