i thought this addon was not being updated anymore. guess i was wrong! i love this addon

@Liam no problem! I didn't want to have to make a rereleased version of this addon because of that one issue, so I have no reason to keep the version I edited. It is your addon afterall, so thank you for the response.

@Scoptic Thank you for not only reporting the bug but also finding the fix! I've pushed an update to the addon, thank you again :)

Welp, I literally just figured it out. Every SetInflictor must be changed to SetAttacker. It's that easy.

I'm no lua expert, but I'm pretty sure there was a change in the March 2025 update which effects how damage is inflicted which I'm pretty sure via CTakeDamageInfo. Again, don't take my word on that, but I think that's what's causing the issues.

I know you don't really update this addon anymore, but do please fix this issue. This is probably my favourite addon in Gmod, simply because of how unique it is. I know you look at the comments sometimes since you commented literally only over a week ago, so that gives me some hope that this can be fixed. Thank you.

Good evening, I would like to report a potentially mod breaking bug that has affected this addon ever since the March 2025 update.

Variations that change how you inflict damage on npcs such as knockback, puller, cloaked, motherchildren, boss, bigboss, lifesteal, pyro, gnome, (although I'm pretty sure that still works when they're higher level for some reason) and I'm pretty sure chimera, and any other that I might be forgetting, are virtually useless for npcs that use weapons such as guns, crowbars etc.

To give a few examples, the Player, npcs like Barney, Alyx, Rebels, Combine etc, barely inflict any knockback and puller effects even at level 100, pyro only sets enemies on fire for a millisecond, I don't think lifesteal works at all, boss, bigboss, motherchildren, and cloaked barely even do damage at level 100 and so on.

However I would like to note that npcs that use melee attacks like the headcrabs, antlions, zombies etc DO still fully work as intended.

@Liam So I'm a victim of the Mandela Effect then. I can't tell which is worse lol

@Colio Mother is one that gets bigger, I think you just mean to disable mother? I don't recall having any setting that disables changing npc size specifically

Am a blind and stupid? Or is there no way to disable different NPC sizes anymore?

would it be possible to add support to zbase npcs? they work just fine but lots of abilities like knockback and puller dont work on zbase npcs with guns, but they do with melee attacks. if not, thanks anyway!

will this be released on the hl2 workshop?

it conflicts with vFire and makes the game lag

ADD PSYCIC

cool

dont subscribe to this if you have arachnophobia

can you make new variants pls?

fuck cimera

make new 41 variants pls (yes or no)

lol those two comments be kinda trolling with the similar pfp, but rogue is just the john cena variant basically

for some reason spiders spawn when i kill certain enemys

First of all, I don’t
Thing I have the update, like I dont have player vatiations or the Rogue, second what music did you use for che Chimera? If you made it did you uoad it to youtube or smth? If not I will become sad

Can i level up in somway or not?

is there a way to enable this only for SNPCS? i feel like this would be really fun for demon or alien SNPCS but it feels rather out of place when combine are affected

does anyon know reason for Rogue being removed?

Who else is here because of endy on youtube?

never turning a barnacle into a spy aging

WAIT THIS GOT UPDATED!

Added some boring quality of life stuff first, to get that out of the way before adding variants:
- Removed psychic
- Option added: Min & max level
- Option added: Hide EV-X hud
- Option added: Normal-sized NPCs if they would be bigger than normal, so they don't get stuck
- Option added: Chimera camera intro disable (on by default)

The options can be found under Utilities -> EV-X

good luck.

nice. everything looks good. excited for the next update : D

Not every variation is planned, some of them I might try out then ditch if it doesn't seem to work out.

maybe add a feature where you can select the minimum and max level enemies can spawn at?

hey how do you choose wich power to give to the enemy like if you could give them the power you want

oh cool. i'll vote.

Haven't worked on it. I opened a poll to gauge the interest for an update:

is this mod dead? there hadn't been an update since Aug 21, 2021

is there a way to change the range of the detonation

can you hide the name and shit when you hover over a npc?

your welcome.

@Waz i literally though i installed backdoor thx for explaining

Hi.so Im really like your mod but im curious if Rogue is still there.i really like idea of a Zombie that will attack Head crabs but wont attack zombies(and other enemies too).

It is a Chimera. The Chimera is boss variant that spawns after a certain number of npcs are killed (this number being configurable in utilities) it has 1000 hp, it can use a bunch of strong variants and has a exclusive variant known as the Physic. Physic messes with your movement and weapons. you can disable the Physic variant in the settings in utilities.

maybe it was a chimera and i was touching the scrollweel and accidently scrolling but wont i notice i was scrolling the scrollweel?

i killed a mother explosion headcrab and boss music started playing i saw a meatal fast headcrab its level was rapidly changing the game forced me to rapidly change weapons like my character was having a stroke what the hell happened...

how do i spawn a special one

This addon is both extremely funny, and can also be terrifying. LOL. XD

I don't think so, no, because chimera is just a bunch of types in one

are you able to gain chimera essance?

UNIEQ MOD!!
