how about a option to make whatever you spawn not spawn in the world?
Jaxswat  [developer] 22 Jun, 2017 @ 11:51pm 
Elaborate please?
IntellectualPotato 22 Jun, 2017 @ 11:56pm 
sorry? what dose that mean.. i dont know :P

Can you add some more details about the feature you mentioned? :-)
like when you spawn it like a check option in the thing to make it so the props or whatever dont spawn in the map it would be cool to fill like a street on gm_bigcity without any npcs being i nthe walls and stuck XD

Oh! I see what you're saying (probably?)

It seems like you're suggesting a way to detect when entities are inside walls n stuff?

I don't think gmod has an easy way of doing this. I'll try to see what I can do, but for now you'll just have to size your entity groups properly.


Also, filling a map with NPCs would crash your game!

EGS already allows you to switch NPCs? Can you explain further?

Suggestion. Maybe add feature that allows you to stack props ontop of eachother all in one toolgun click?

I think you're looking for the Stacker sTool

EGS isn't designed for stacking.

Suggestion. add maybe a more customizable form maker, like a slide for space between right line, left line etc to make more detailed ones

Actually, the advanced EGS tool has all those features. They're just disabled now under the hood of the simple one because they're too complex for the average user. Perhaps XY gap is simple enough for most people...

is it possible to spawn costum NPCs?
Jaxswat  [developer] 25 Jun, 2017 @ 1:58pm 
Yes. Right click it and select the EGS option.
