you should add crouching, it would make battles feel so much better

I don't know if it's possible but can you add the cover animations from the beta?

So basically something like this: https://youtu.be/Q3KtFeI6u9U?feature=shared

i will give that a shot in the future, releasing an update very soon which contains the following:
npcs taking into account all enemies they know of (implemented)
taking cover behind props more (wip)
animations (wip but works well enough)
better ai from source engine using an ai_goal_standoff (implemented, works fine)

after an analysis, i came up with the conclusion that it will be something a bit hard to implement
and after implementation, i will need to modify a lot of stuff, which will break support for things and yadda yadda

so unfortunately cant add that, if you have any more examples of better npc ai which i might be able to implement, reply to this with the idea/link

So hunters have the capacity to shoot while moving, but only if they are assigned to guard a strider.

An example being the white forest defense segment from episode 2. So would it be feasible to disable the guard strider restriction, and allow the the hunter to fire while on the move.

Either as an update to this addon, or a separate one.

@creepyblocks
if you know what flag can be changed in order to achieve that i can implement it

i made a function that makes them force shoot a bullet but its just not gonna look great in certain situations

not only that but i also dont have hl2ep2 so i cant test it myself

When did i say i knew what flag it was. It was just an observation i know from playing.

@creepyblocks
and when did i say that you do know what flag it is?
i clearly stated a conditional with that big old "IF" there
anyway, the problem might be just from the npc itself deciding to go to the position and not strafe along, and i cant make it guard itself (doesnt do anything) to trigger this behavior more often

@creepyblocks
check out the update, maybe it'll work now lol

If i may ask how does the suppression system work?

you can check out the code, basically, bullet whizzes by? Npc gets scared, code gives higher tendency to play cower animation ( it has a cooldown cuz eventually they would ♥♥♥♥ themselves and not shoot at all )

use gm publisher to view it

took a look into it, maybe it IS possible but will require a lot of time to polish so it doesnt ruin the entire npc ai
