Candidate variants, improvements and features
I obviously took the time to read through all the variant suggestions. I have merged all suggestion topics into one and locked it.

I locked them to keep track of what I read, and to prevent me from having a hard time to find new suggestions if they were to appear on topics I've already read.

If you want to suggest more, you just have to create a new topic.

These are all the things that I'm considering for future updates. In other words, these are the suggestions that have a reasonable chance to make it into the next updates of EV-X.

Candidate suggestions (these can be used as a new variant, or be an addition to an existing one)
- Variant that is armored (Apples)
- Variant that can infect a player or NPC (Apples / Jerkakame)
- Variant that can shape shift into a different Npc (Apples / Jerkakame's 'spy' idea)
- Variant that slows you down (crobles74)
- Variant like mother but that spawns different variant babies (crobles74)
- Variant that protects other NPCs with a shield/force field (crobles74)
- Variant with even more variations than mix2? (crobles74)
- Variant that changes size (for example when shot?) (crobles74)
- Variant with health regeneration (Vladbzf)
- Variant like gas, but emits gas while walking (Vladbzf)
- Variant that throws grenades at the player (Vladbzf)
- Variant like lifesteal but unbounded to the max health (Vladbzf)
- Variant that attracts props (Vladbzf)
- Variant that has damage resistance (Vladbzf)
- Variant that revives after death (racism barney)
- Variant that gives players a 'bleed' effect (Mercury)
- Variant that works like a Minecraft creeper, explode when near player (Mercury)
- Variant that is your ally (Mercury)
- Variant that gives player vision impairments (Mercury, zorich_michael)
- Variant that randomly teleports (zorich_michael)
- Variant that immediately seeks out the player, no matter where they are (KnightBob7)
- Variant that's mix3/mix4 (KnightBob7)
- Variant that you pay to fight for you (KnightBob7)
- Variant that increases damage the more damage he deals, or upon kill (Vladbzf)
- Variant that's like the charger from L4D (EPIC MANN)
- Variant that heals other NPCs (EPIC MANN)
- Variant that resurrects NPCs assigned to them (Lord Crown Empire)
- Variant that buffs NPCs around them (Lord Crown Empire)
- Variant that can temporarily become invulnerable and deals more damage (Lord Crown Empire)
- Variant that disguises as a player (Lord Crown Empire)
- Variant that disguises itself with a random variant enemy that is currently on the map, this makes the GUI think it's that enemy and its variant, once it is at 25% hp, it will reveal itself what it really is and the GUI will show it properly (crobles74)

Candidate improvements
- Mother babies when NPC uses custom model fix

Candidate features
- Subtypes of variants
- Some way of giving players variations

Thank you to everyone who contributed! It's nice when you make an addon and it becomes not just your project, but a project of the community.

Some more variants that were previously cut due to something happening(I don't know):
A Spartan/Commando variant: Like the name suggests, this variant is more powerful then the original npc/snpc with better stats, but is more rare.
Speedy variant: This variant has double the movement speed.
Electric variant: A variant that does energy/electric damage or does physical damage with added energy damage.
Ghost variant: This variant is about phasing though props or even though the map(Can be complex).
& the Flyer variant: This is more helpful with those npcs/snpcs with no natural flight ability that allows the Flyer variant to fly like a bird or a chicken.

I think the boss and big boss variants should also have their health scale upwards according to level.

flying: the npcs can fly for 10 seconds cooldown 20 seconds the cooldown and how many seconds of flying can be changed in the options from 0 to 10

would it be possible to add support to zbase npcs? they work just fine but lots of abilities like knockback and puller dont work on zbase npcs with guns, but they do with melee attacks. if not, thanks anyway!
