the flame man will not walk as if he was born not to walk but ot look at people and burn those who come near

Guys. Combine this NPC with the "advanced flames addon" and you'll see everything burn literally.

@funkyzombie Do you VJ Base install and activated? They should show up under "Rycch's Combine" in the NPC tab.

i cant find these npcs in my spawn menu. i even checked if i had them downloaded

@Supermankid379 At this moment in time I am not making player sweps. A lot of animation stuff I am not ready for yet.

for whatever reason i cant find them in the NPCS tab on the spawn menu

Hey rycch is it possible that you can make the VJ Combine Troopers weapons pickupable and usable as a gun cuz why its only made for VJ npcs and normal npc why can't we pickup the gun and use it why make the it be able to be picked up if we can't be able to be use it but when we get it just to be removed form our inventory and say its only made for npc to use it and not players or do you have to ask the VJ base addon to make the weapons that they drop usable for players it would be cool to pick up the flamers Flamer and then use it to burn other Combine npcs while holding off against them

hey rycc can you make the weapons work like the ones the combine use

@james Are these the normal gmod civilians or are they from another npc pack

@rycch when i spawn the combines with civilians they dont attack much they like wait for some reason

cool ideas! i like there all combines that guy maded

I'm not the maker of the particle, I stole it from somewhere else. I think it originally came from Alien Swarm

@@Mister Leeroy I will also look at a fix for the Jump Troopers

@Mister Leeroy All good

I confirm that it is now fixed thanks! But i have noticed the same issue with the Jump Troopers. They spawn with weapon_vj_smartsmg instead of the 3 ones they would use when spawned with the Spawnmenu.

@Mister Leeroy Pushed a fix that should give him the correct weapon when using a spawner

Minor issue, when using map spawner mods (i use NPC Daemon) they are force spawned with a default weapon and can't be changed. and for this npc it spawns with weapon_vj_ar_heavy by default.

@james lol you somehow made them Scared

@rycch There are some models out on the workshop, like the basic automaton soldier, pretty sure theres a voteless model and theres a pack with various terminid models. I have seen the tripod but I saw it as a screenshot

@james What do you mean by that?

why are the combines so hesitant to attack?

@Supermankid379 Pushed a fix. Unsure why that never caused a problem for me locally, but I understand how and why that section of code might have caused a crash before.

Honestly surprised I have not seen that one before.

@Supermankid379 I see. That should be a quick fix. Thank you

OK i think i got it but it might be the wrong one idk prob is the right one [[VJ] Combine Flame Trooper (NPC)] lua/entities/npc_vj_c_overwatch_flametrooper/init.lua:134: Tried to use a NULL entity!
1. RemoveAllDecals - [C]:-1
2. v - lua/entities/npc_vj_c_overwatch_flametrooper/init.lua:134
3. unknown - lua/includes/modules/hook.lua:102 (x63)

@Supermankid379 Could you check to see if is still happening for you if it is just VJ base and this npc mod active. It is starting to sound like it is conflicting with something else. If I can figure out what that is I can push a fix to prevent the conflict.

all i did is just that i shot the tank with the hl2 pistol you get after you kill a metro cop and it was not a mod weapon it was the one you get on spawn

@Supermankid379 Understood. I have heard of this issue happening but I have been unable to recreate it in the base or beta branches of the game. I am trying to figure out if it is certain weapons people are using, particular scenarios, or a conflict with another addon I am not aware of.

didn't have time to copy them

i got the errors but the game crashed as soon as i got them

@king_baconhair Are the models available on the workshop for the enemy factions? I know there is already a Helldiver npc mod out there for the Helldivers themselves.

Have you thought about making helldivers 2 npcs? like the bugs or bots, or even the squids?

@Supermankid379 What were the errors? Does this happen when you only have VJ Base and this addon active? What branch of the game are you on?

when i shot the tank it gave me script errors and crashed my game

LET THEM BURN! LET THEM ALL SUFFER!


also nice addon

@♫MusicMen225♫ Sounds cool, I will need to check those out sometime.

That is good to hear, thank you. I like ZBase but VJ Base NPCs are decent too. In fact, I think the Doom 3 SNPCs use ZBase if I recall correctly, and those are some of the best and most faithful recreations of NPCs from another game straight in Garry's Mod - everything from the modelling and texture work ripped straight from Doom 3 and behaviors that work nearly the same exact way you would expect them to in Doom 3 as well.

@♫MusicMen225♫ Don't worry they will stay on the workshop. The npcs are released to the the world and to the world they shall stay.

If you do ever release your NPCs on another base, will these stay on Workshop? So many authors do it so that when they port their NPCs to another base, they remove the old version. It would be nice if those stayed up.

@BusyJimmy In the process of learning ZBase right now. Though I can say it will still be a while until I release any of my npcs on it.

@bunnyzerg That would be a good use of the Combine Worker model from HL:A. I like it.

Probably foolish of me to suggest this, but have you thought about eventually making Zbase versions of these NPCs that you made? I would absolutely love to see these in Zbase, however I completely understand if that is something you can't do for whatever reason.

I just had an idea, a combine soldier that builds different combine props, creating permanent cover changing the layout of the battlefield

@♫MusicMen225♫ I see. I hope that turns out well.

He's just using the regular Combine Soldier model for the NPC too, if you spawn him in - The one Valve made.

I'm actually just using a separate addon that brings the original Sniper NPC back into the spawn list since he isn't normally there in Garry's Mod and then a separate addon for the sniper rifle model for him to use :) Should have had clarified, but there you go.

@♫MusicMen225♫ I very much thank NecrosVideos as I never though my mods would become as big as they have. On the sniper front, I have a concept for a proper Combine Sniper using the Beta Sniper model, assuming that is what you are referring to. I want to integrate proning animations to it, same goes for my rebel sniper, as well as maybe giving him a spotter so he can work with other npcs as a sniper team.

For the shield part though, that is understandable. Thanks for explaining it.
