iNPC - Artifical Intelligence Module (Improved NPC AI)

iNPC (Improved NPCs) is an addon that adds huge improvements to the existing HL2 NPCs.

If you find that the NPCs in GMod are dumb, or too easy to fight, then iNPC will solve your problems.

iNPC's goal is to make NPCs a challenge to fight, and add new dynamics to the classic NPC battle, creating a totally different experience compared to regular GMod. As such, it will considerably increase the difficulty fighting against NPCs.

Note: For intended results, the map must contain NPC nodes. Unnoded maps will not be able to use iNPC to its fullest.
Note: iNPC only affects the regular HL2 NPCs, including reskins. Non-HL2 NPCs from mods such as VJBase will usually not be affected.

The sister addon of iNPC.
Unlock the true power of better NPC AI with better NPC weapons.
When using iNPC and NPC Weapons together, NPCs can shoot at extremely long range, which is normally not possible.

Corpses and weapons disappear!
Improved Stealth doesn't work anymore!

Does this work with (Custom NPC)?

• NPCs recognize players depending on their playermodel! Join the Combine, or fight with the Zombies!
  
• Players can force the faction of NPCs they spawn, allowing Combine to work with Rebels, or Zombies and Rebels to fight together against the Combine, or even getting members of the same faction to fight each other!

• NPCs have better accuracy and will work as a team.
  
• Many NPCs have recieved a major AI change, completely changing the way they fight, including all Zombie types, Fast Zombies, Antlions and Antlion Workers, Antlion Guards, Hunters, and Vortigaunts!
  
• Melee NPCs will attack faster and faster as they continue to attack, making them deadly in combat. The attack speed bonus quickly reduces to normal while the NPC is not attacking.

• NPCs slowly regenerate health over time.
  
• NPCs no longer damage and kill allies.
  
• NPCs now patrol when idle.
