The route creator seems fully busted. If NPCs walk the route at all, they never walk the full route, just from 1 node to the next. Sometimes they won't even walk between two nodes, they'll simply run to the first node and stop.

lua/entities/obj_npcroute.lua:636: attempt to call method 'MarkNpcFinishedWaiting' (a nil value)
1. unknown - lua/entities/obj_npcroute.lua:636

Yeah. I've done just that. Forgot to update on the issue,
I was able to fix it day one. It's a bit of a duct-tape fix. I bound the tool:Reload function to delete the hooks responsible for the text if they presently exist.

Idk if I should repost the addon or DM the creator the fixed file.

Wouldnt the easiest fix for the aiming thing to just...remove the thing white text?

It specifically occurs when you still have the toolgun equipped btw

@KittyCatChan
I know why the issue happens now. It seems like switching toolgun modes [from NPC Proef. to for, for example, Axis or Winch] causes the issue to occur.

I've decompiled the addon, and I'm currently working on a workaround [albeit an unfavorable one].

Any idea why the relationship utility doesn't let me save presets?
I don't see an option, and the dropdown menus are completely blank, not even a default preset in there.

@Bonnish
Yeah this is a bug I know about but have no idea how to fix it. Sorry I cannot be of help.

@G-STX69
I know of this bug. It's in the Bugs Thread. I don't know how to fix it. I am not that good with LUA. I just fixed the major issues that took it off the workshop.

I have an issue where the proficiency gets stuck on their heads after i put tool gun away

ok

@Mando The Shadow Furry
If this crashes your Gmod. You've got another issue. This Addon has been fixed enough to not crash your Gmod. It has errors still but won't crash your Gmod. You might have to many addons or old addons that still have a conflict issue.

yeah im bit worried this might crash my gmod at the point i cant fix it so yeah

@trijun
It's sadly a bug I cannot figure out how to fix. I am also unsure how to consistently repeat it. Sometimes it works normally and other times it just straight up doesn't work.

how do i disable the proficiency thing on npcs heads, its kind annoying

@Michal08
Please post this in the Bugs discussion and I will look into it later on tonight. Also can you give a report on what you were doing so I can recreate this bug. Please & Thank you!

@马娘玩家到APEX会像玉藻一样马吗
As yes doesn't answer it I will explain both.
1. If it's VIA save - I been trying to figure this out but I end up always having the issue of it breaking...
2. I could most likely do this it will just require a lot of learning. Right now I am still learning a lot of it. So might take a while. >.<

My Lua training doesn't help when Gmod's Lua has a lot of changes from Lua.

yes

@马娘玩家到APEX会像玉藻一样马吗
What do you mean by save? Like make it a Persistent prop so server reloads never remove it?

hi，i want to save the Npc_spawn_creator in my server，how can i do that？

@Don't Laugh, I'm sensitive
I will look into it once I get time. No promises

I'm pretty sure this used to work on DRGBase npcs, but now I can't get it to, not even the relationships which is all I used it for previously

@saximaphone
I will look into it.

Oh btw somebody uploaded a very suspicious "fixed" version of your mod. He's pretty dodgy about it.

@saximaphone
Hopefully one day it will be improved and fixed more!

That's fine! I at least appreciate these tools being fixed.

@saximaphone
Yeah sadly I am unsure how to do that. I am still learning Lua and not doing very well.

I can't find such a thing unfortunately.
And it doesn't have anything to do with node graphs, it would just be some kind of entity that they will move towards.

Like the patrol nodes in this mod, but not have them just run towards it and stay there. Have them walk to it, fight on the way to it and then patrol within a certain distance of it.

@saximaphone

I believe a mod like that already exists. If it doesn't I wouldn't know how to write that because NPCs use Nodegraphs and if no Node Graph exists the AI lose a lot of their I in AI.

I might as well ask because why not: I've been looking for a mod that can set up zones that attract NPCs. Pretty much locations that they want to attack or defend. Would be very useful for tower defense type fun.

Would that be a possible feature for this or another mod you might be able to look into?

@Ajm
Same. But no one was doing a real fix... So if no one does it. Do it yourself. And that is my job! Good way to learn Lua too!

pretty good man being waiting a NPC Tool being fix.

@Cryzone1
I will report this but I am not able to recreate this.

Proficiency thign stays above their head even after deselecting the tool or removing tool gu nform inventory

@Here'sss...TREVOR
Thanks I will note it in the bugs!

don't*

npc spawner's npc's don"t have any weapons when they're set to default in the equipment bar.

@le duck
Yes. It won't do anything in single player. And the back door only spawns NPCs by the looks of things. So don't worry about single player!

if i use this in singleplayer nothing will happen right (backdoor moment)

@Juanito
Yes! It just doesn't work with saves because I do not have a clue how Gmod saves work... Therefore it's still bugged there.

damn so i can finally use the damn patrol tools now ??

@Riggs.mackay™
Yeah sadly Net messages are my weakest point so it might take longer than expected to fix.

it's probably the net messages are unsecured

@Riggs.mackay™
Thank you for the information. I will look into it but not sure what could cause it.

I've ran servers with npc tools addons (multiple and different ones) and all of them seem to be backdoored. People come on the server (a rp server) and they use the backdoor to spawn npcs and crash the server with it.

@Riggs.mackay™
I didn't know of this backdoor issue. You able to tell me more? Because I would love to fix it ASAP

i assume the backdoor is not fixed.
