Probably some Garry's Mod related bug.

Reckon it could be because of vFire? Lemme know if you have the same issue or something

Ive had the same problem even without vFire. I dont know what it could be but another addon may be stopping you from using this.

huh...

that happens to me when i have thinking disabled, maybe thats the issue?

Honestly I don't remember posting this, but I'm pretty sure I remember thinking vFire, starting a fire when the headcrab canister explodes, was roasting the headcrabs or something like that. Not exactly sure.

n= thats should be a bug because i dont have these issues maybe diabling all addons

okay. after some experimentation with the canister, i have some observations. apparently, the headcrabs won't come out of the canister if there isn't a "nearby objective" (like the player or a human npc), if this is the case they just stuck inside the canister until they die. but if there is a objective nearby the canister before the headcraps start spawning, they'll come out normally while there's a nearby objective, if this objective die, disappear or run away, the remaining headcrabs will stuck in the canister. this happened in my case, i don't know if i have a addon creating conflict with this mod.

But, i have laucnhed headcrab cainsters without "targets" before, and all of them jumped out of it, burrowing themselves when no target was nearby

I've been having a different issue where the headcrab animation gets messed up and the crabs end up floating sideways inside the canister, and it turned out to be vfire for whatever reason. Maybe vfire is the same issue with the crabs dying inside the cans?

its a problem with some other mods, i managed to not have the mods that break it
