your comment would fit in the regular comments.

KATO is a voice over "assistance". You could watch the trailer for a actuall presentation. Basically from the moment you spawn its a new version of half lifes HEV suit with its information around health, ammo, death, spawn, etc.

Just that KATO is..eeeeh...not always proper formal and helpfull XD just install it and play gmod. You will see

KATO should have different voice lines for different types of damage, like drowning or burn damage.

We'll try to implement it soon. Have been considering it, since having only a few generic lines gets boring fast. Thanks for the suggestion

We will take a look at them, and if they are cool/funny/usefull then we might put them in!

By features of functions we mean:

Examples what KATO could say, say when / on what occasion.

Can you make an actual H.E.V Suit variant out of this? So you can make it exactly like in Half-Life 2: Episode Two (with the flashlight's battery being separate from the suit's auxiliary power).

Other addons i saw have some differences from the original games, that's why i'm suggesting this. Would be awesome to spawn the entity just like in the one we have in-game but instead of just getting the sound when walking through it we get that AND the viewmodel animation showcasing your c_model hands.

An option you can add to this is to enable/disable (disabled by default) the exact piece of the song "Hazardous Environments" it plays when getting the suit, just like in HL2. Accuracy of this idea is what gives it quality, this automatically would make it my (and surely others') favorite addon of the whole workshop, of course, easier to say than done...

Thanks for your suggestion. However, we planned to make an addon that wasn't purely an HEV suit port. We wanted a quirky yet sometimes useful AI companion. Some of the original suit’s properties have already been mixed into KATO, and we don’t think we’ll go any further than those. Sorry if this isn’t the addon were looking for. (Hope I didn't sound too cold there)

or just disable the addon in gmod...if you want all voice lines to be gone..then why do you have the addon? XD

jesus christ you're right!

what about kato saying WOHO when you will kill lot of enemies?

and maybe also talk something to you when you will stay and dont move for long time or when you just walk around

something like "excresie is great"?

yeah or for example did you knew counter strike is the best game of all time

or maybe also when you kill some one he will say TAKE HIS LOT!
