Can it be made into an option? I know beggars can't be choosers, but there is some appeal to tricking headcrabs and whatever into accidentally launching themselves off a cliff to their deaths.

done!

local NPCsBlacklist = { "npc_fastzombie", "npc_headcrab", "npc_headcrab_black", "npc_headcrab_fast", "npc_antlion", "npc_antlion_worker" } -- Think function to handle fall damage logic local function Think() for _, v in ipairs(ents.GetAll()) do if IsValid(v) and v:IsNPC() then if not table.HasValue(NPCsBlacklist, v:GetClass()) then if not v:IsOnGround() then v.m_fLastFallVelocity = v:GetVelocity().z if (v.m_fLastFallVelocity or 0) < NPC_FALL_MINIMUM_HEIGHT then local info = DamageInfo() info:SetDamageType(DMG_FALL) info:SetDamage(GetConVarNumber("npc_custom_fall_damage")) info:SetDamagePosition(v:GetPos()) info:SetAttacker(v) if info:GetDamage() > 0 then v:TakeDamageInfo(info) end v.m_fLastFallVelocity = 0 hear_sound = true end end end end end end

so u can make a concommand to add or remove NPCs from blacklist
and then u can make Q-menu tab where u can add/remove NPCs even easier

󠀡𝅵󠀡𝅷 5 Nov, 2023 @ 5:05am

that didn't worked
but toggle option is working

local function ToggleBlacklist() if blacklistEnabled then blacklistEnabled = false print("Blacklist disabled.") else blacklistEnabled = true print("Blacklist enabled.") end end concommand.Add("toggle_npc_falling_blacklist", ToggleBlacklist) local NPCsBlacklist = { "npc_fastzombie", "npc_headcrab", "npc_headcrab_black", "npc_headcrab_fast", "npc_antlion", "npc_antlion_worker" } -- Think function to handle fall damage logic local function Think() for _, v in ipairs(ents.GetAll()) do if IsValid(v) and v:IsNPC() then if not blacklistEnabled or not table.HasValue(NPCsBlacklist, v:GetClass()) then if not v:IsOnGround() then v.m_fLastFallVelocity = v:GetVelocity().z if (v.m_fLastFallVelocity or 0) < NPC_FALL_MINIMUM_HEIGHT then local info = DamageInfo() info:SetDamageType(DMG_FALL) info:SetDamage(GetConVarNumber("npc_custom_fall_damage")) info:SetDamagePosition(v:GetPos()) info:SetAttacker(v) if info:GetDamage() > 0 then v:TakeDamageInfo(info) end v.m_fLastFallVelocity = 0 hear_sound = true end end end end end end

Its so cool to see the community to help in petitions they made for an addon to become better, instead of begging and begging and becoming anoying.
