Zombie/NPC Invasion+
[suggestion] dynamic NPC weapon support
Adding support with installed NPC weapons would be a nice addition.
For example, spawning Star Wars Stormtroopers with blasters. :steamhappy:

Hey! That's exactly how I'm playing right now :)

To spawn custom weapons:
  • Right click weapon in GMod spawn menu
  • Select "Copy to clipboard"
  • Paste in the weapons field of the ZINV spawn menu

(I might add them to the dropdown later)

What Star Wars addons are you using?

This only works IF the weapons are compatible with NPCs. However the majority aren't of what I'm using. This is where npc ONLY weapons come into play. Here's the thing, you can't copy the gun from the npc drop down weapon menu. If you try to do it from the spawn list it only gives you the model. I really hope that you add to the weapon dropdown menu in the addon so it can show all weapons compatible with NPCs.

The answer to your problemo 420 is to open the console and type in weapon_showproficiency 1

Once you do that, spawn an npc with the npc only weapon as you would normally, then open up the console and the weapon name will be printed there for you to copy and paste into zinv.

so it should print something like

npc_combine_s equipped with swep_ft_xm8 profficiency perfect

That just being an example

If that doesn't help you, tell me the addon name and i'll post a list of all the npc swep names here for you, until the he adds them in the menu.

It worked, thanks dude! I just have one question for you, how did you find out about this? Did you search it up, learn it, or just randomly come across it?

That's just one I stumbled upon a long time ago, I spend a lot of time in source games so I often come across random stuff like that. :p

I'm afraid I'm not too familiar with these mechanics so I'll have to do some research. If you know of any good places to start feel free to share them with me.
