I don't know if it's possible, but would it be possible to set up the tablet to add in AI nodes to the appropriate locations so that NPCs will take cover behind spawned fortifications?

I wouldn't know if it's possible or not, the few times I attempted using console commands to add AI nodes to a map while it was running, the game immediately CTD. Maybe a proper script could do it?

You should make it so that things are destroyable, maybe in a way that each thing has a different strength and weakness

Like some things could be strong to bullets, but weak to explosives, and vise versa?

This is a planned 'DLC' type addon, great idea.

Not really possible, sorry.

More base models such as platforms/Stairs.

These aren't fortifications, haha

What about adding some sort of resource that you need to build a fortification? So that the user can not build indefinitely.

This could actually be implemented easily by the user with the restrictions to build section on the workshop page. However, I'll consider it.

Whenever I have the tablet out, it's model is a Black Mesa grenade and it keeps spamming this error in my console:

[Alydus's Fortification Builder Tablet] lua/weapons/alydus_fortificationbuildertablet.lua:298: bad argument #1 to 'GetBoneMatrix' (number expected, got no value)
1. GetBoneMatrix - [C]:-1
2. unknown - lua/weapons/alydus_fortificationbuildertablet.lua:298


I have no idea what's going on here, it seems to be working for everyone else. Any information would be appreciated.

Would you have a addon installed that replaced the HL2 grenade model with another? like a blackmesa model reskin/updated addon of some sort?

If you can disable all of these type addons and follow the troubleshooting steps in the workshop addon description for the tablet, and get back to me - thanks!

I don't believe I have any addons that have reskinned the weapons of Half-Life 2, nor even any updated versions, I've checked through all of them. Any other such Black Mesa addons that I have are either playermodels, NPCs, or vehicles, therefore, I'm not really sure what I'm looking for.

Can you add health to the barricades? Like, so after a while of taking damage, it will be removed?

This is a planned ‘DLC’ type addon.

Would it be possible to have some sort of crafting menu and have it so you need certain props or mats to create the prop?

This is fantastic. Opens some room for some cool gamemodes.

Perhaps make building require money, which you get from killing or damaging other players, and you spent that on the pieces. I now see that health has been requested, and I like that you plan on it.

Again, this is awesome, suprisingly, it is the only addon on the workshop like this! :D

I like these suggestions, however they are pretty server/gamemode specific - this is an issue as i’d like the addon to stay universal, without too much modification to implement it correctly and smoothly into gamemodes.
