Flechette Thrower for NPCs

Description
You will need Half-Life 2: Episode Two

This addon will add Flechette Thrower to NPC weapons override.

So NPCs can shoot flechettes.

Currently, these NPCs are well supported:
* Citizens (Rebels, Refuges & Normal Citizens)
* Alyx & Barney
* Metro-Police cops

F.A.Q:
Q: Where is it?
A: You will find it in NPC override weapon menu, Hold C (key assigned to context menu), click "NPC" from top bar, hover the Override Weapon and choose Flechette Thrower

Q: Why Combine Soldiers don't shoot correctly?
A: I tried to translate AI moves well, but, it's not correct anyway and I don't have any idea to fix this up.

Q: They're shooting flechetts kilometers away from target, what's wrong with them?
A: I have nothing with that, you can use NPC Tools and set their professionally skill.

Q: Ugh, they're throwing error!
A: You need Half-Life 2: Episode Two

Don't ask me to add other NPCs to well-supported list, I can't, sorry.

This is my first addon here, hope you like it ;)

could you make a version of this, but with the synth blaster model?

Since they fire these very slowly, if you'd like to make them more lethal, you can use the following commands in console:

sk_hunter_dmg_flechette & sk_hunter_flechette_explode_dmg to set their damage to a specific value.

Any easy way to increase fire rate?

Barney, Alyx and citizen are literally the base for an addon adding a weapon for NPCs. That's good anyway :D

just like the player weapon just more dmg (i think)

Maybe you could do a version of the gun wich if you pick it up from a fallen NPC, you don't get the flechette minigun ?

I didn't noticed that combine soldiers aren't supported, but after spawning them with flechette Thrower, the only problem they give me is a lua script error with the amunition, basically they can't reload because the gun itself has like tons of ammo in one clip. Maybe limit the fletchette Thrower to 30 or a default value like smg so it has to be reloaded by npcs.

If this error pops up on soldiers(not talking about animations and othert stuff), is it intended because I think it's a addon problem than just the npc class.

I like it.

Now even your human, or post-human allies can wield the almighty power of the Synth's greatest weapon.

This addon works in excellent contrast with the Hunter Squad from the Metropolice Pack.
And, with the Improved Combine NPCs and Model Manipulator, grants them the ability to form scout teams.
Now they really are the 'Hunter Squad'.
