Im having an issue where whenever i start any assault, it spawns the enemies its supposed to spawn, but it also spawns combine soldiers for some reason

@FireworkJumper AFAIK addon NPCs should work fine, make sure you entered the class name correctly, though if it still doesn't work it may be that the addon NPC is missing specific variables needed for them to spawn with this addon

@Metabreaker You mostly just listed problems with the original RAIDS addon, problems neither the original creator or I can fix.
This addon relies on AI nodes to spawn NPCs, without them the addon has no information on where to or not to spawn NPCs.
Navmesh Optimizer lowers the count of navmesh points and possibly even removes AI nodes, so that may be the problem.
And yes, the addon requires the map to be AI noded.
I can't really do anything, best you can do is look for fan made navmesh versions of maps and hope they have AI nodes or ask the original creator to make AI nodes for the map.

I don't know what the reason is, but if I play on a map where the navmesh is generated using the "navmesh optimizer" addon, then the npc doesn't spawn, and if they do, then only one, they also don't move, and if you get closer, it happens that they disappear. It works fine for me only on maps where there is already a pre-installed navmesh, and not all of them

I can only add half life npcs to the custom list right? because every time I try to spawn npcs from other addons I keep getting an errorr

@G0JPG4 The addon may not work well on weaker systems since it utilizes a bunch of math, raycasting and pathfinding to spawn NPCs. Try spawning just 1 NPC on a small, well noded map, then move up to see what your PC can handle.

@FireworkJumper If you mean only spawning shotgunners then not really. Shotgunners are a skin of the combines, not separate classes, though you can spawn NPCs with specific weapons by using the custom weapons feature.

what if I want to spawn different classes of combine and not just soldiers?

when i spawn any npc (i think) with the addon my gmod freezes

Sorry @The Man behind The Taco, I was going to fix that but got carried away with work and forgot. I fixed the issue with custom NPCs not getting removed and also fixed removal by index. Also @deded6750, I've added that too, you can spawn many different assaults at once. Just be warned, most will fight each other (for example combines and rebels).

im trying to remove the npc but it won't remove it. it keeps giving me errors. also am i able to make my custom npcs seperate so i can spawn one custom npc then the other?

Add a random chance for patrols instead of all the NPCs going on patrol mode if possible

Could you make it so you can do multiple raids at once? like mixing combine, metrocops + antlions and zombies all at once

hey dude, can you fix problem with removing custom npcs? like when i remove 1, it says that he`s removed but when i check list or start a raid they still appear. Can you fix that please?

Thx!

custom weapons list* not script sorry

@Mar'k best choice for you right now would be to enable custom weapons and then clear the custom weapons script. This will either cause an error or spawn NPCs without weapons, I don't really remember.

Awesome addon! But ability to spawn NPCs without weapons would be nice

yw!

thanks scorp!

I've added custom NPC spawning, works much like the custom weapon feature

@mecha No, there's no way to do that at the moment, but I can add it right now since it doesn't sound like too hard of an implementation

i wish i could make custom entity raids by using the npc's name instead of combine or rebel so i could spawn in crows to duckhunt
is there currently any way to do that?

@Raffine52 Sorry, that's an issue with the base addon, I don't really know how to fix that problem..

The NPCs during assault may randomly disappear in front of me, even if they have a line of sight

Can u add command which toggle citizens and rebels relationship to player?

@BOGYMA Yes, I've been thinking about adding UIs for many of my addons. I'll definitely look into it when I have the time, thank you for the feedback.

Could you add a UI?
For easier navigation of the commands/prevention from coming here every 5 mins.

nice

@Kaynix359 Hey, I've added antlion spawning

you should add antlions as an npc to spawn

thanks

@baccabab Hey, thanks for the feedback. I've added the ability to spawn metrocops now using iraids_spawn_metrocops.

Very good. How about add the CP assault

Thank you Shotgun!
Also, yes, I love Bahnschrift

is that Bahnschrift i see?

Highly appreciate this being able to run alongside the original addon. Great work!

he did it himself

thank you ❤️

you deserve a happy life

❤️❤️

love you

Hey, thanks for the feedback! I've added an option to disable spawning only indoors, you can toggle it with the iraids_indoor_only convar.

V same!

I like the new additions EXCEPT the indoors only spawning. On occasion, NPCs will spawn and get stuck in areas of buildings that aren't accessible and if you're playing on a map where there's more land then buildings all the NPCs just get crammed into buildings. The indoors feature should be togglable if possible. Otherwise, I prefer this version of raids

Yes, from my testing any map that has a nodegraph works

works in any random map on sandbox?
