[VJ] Combine Dropshield Guard (NPC)

Description
If you enjoy the addon, don't forget to leave a thumbs up!

May I introduce you all to the Combine Dropshield Guard. This is a Combine Soldier assigned to special defensive assignments often of special equipment and personnel. When a threat is detected, they deploy a small force field generator. This produces a large semi-permeable energy shield that protects from incoming gunfire and grenades. It is even powerful enough to stop an RPG round. This serves the purpose of protection for the guard and whatever they are guarding.

The shield is semi-translucent, allowing the guard to keep an eye on the enemy on the other side. The shield will let slower entities like the combine guard itself pass through the shield, allowing them to ambush an enemy on the other side of the shield. Conversy, enemies can also pass through the shield, but by that point the dropshield guard will be more than capable of taking advantage of the reduced engagement range. The Combine Dropshield Guard wants the enemy to fight on its terms.

All that power in the shield comes at a cost as the shield is short-lived and will shut down after a few seconds. This is why the guard is equipped with multiple shields it can deploy when it sees fit.

Features of this NPC include:
  • Weapon: Combine Pulse SMG
  • Deployable drop shield
  • Defensive behavior
  • Metropolice animations

Feel free to offer feedback and suggestions. Such things help me with future development of addons. I liked the idea of metropolice deploying manhacks, so with this done, what other equipment could Combine deploy to the field?

Enjoy!

@rycch There will be Resistance versions, though I do not want them to be basic reskins of the Combine npcs

@rycch No problem. I was wondering, are you going to make rebel versions as well in the future? I love how the combines you made that are from the original Garry's Mod and new ones you made up are more competent and I would love to see resistance ones as well.
