Description
Automatically shunts npcs into valve's squads.

Extra features!
  • Npcs will chatter when they do any custom behaviour!
  • When a squad starts losing members, they'll cry for backup!
  • Entire system is based on disposition, so custom factions wont break it!
  • Idle squads will report in and do their very best to reinforce their buddies.
  • If there's no threat, squads wander as a group!
  • Everyone follows their squad leader.
  • Leaders will intentionally spread out, avoid other squads!
  • Removed grigori support.
  • Half-decent duplicator support!
  • Leaders who have lost all their buddies will throw in the towel and join someone else.
  • A "Dynsquad Goal" ( think capture point! )


All this together means that npcs will break up into little squads, constantly moving around the map!


Some Caveats
  • Works best with npcs that can join valve squads ( basically all default npcs, combine, rebels, zombies, antlions )
  • This addon doesn't directly affect actively fighting npcs ( no extra tactics in close quarters! )

Console commands
npc_dynsquads_enabled ( enables/disables the addon ) npc_dynsquads_yapping ( enables/disables the extra idle npc voicelines ) npc_dynsquads_doassaults ( idle npc reinforcing ) npc_dynsquads_dowandering ( idle npc wandering ) npc_dynsquads_developer ( enables/disables debug info ) npc_dynsquads_ignoremapcreated ( makes it ignore map npcs, stops it breaking some maps )

Stop complaining if a couple of NPCs aren't supported.

From my experience, the leader is the first one that moves. Could also be that it's been a coincidence.

Would it be possible to have the console commands accessible through the spawn menu?

Probably because VJ recently updated.

does this work with Enhanced Sandbox NPCs? I think it has it's own squad system or not, I think it just makes NPCs be able to be in squads than improved behaviour with them
