Zombie/NPC Invasion+

Description
IF YOU ENCOUNTER ANY ISSUES READ THIS ENTIRE DESCRIPTION BEFORE ASKING FOR HELP

This is a fixed and improved version of JASON's great addon, Zombie/NPC Invasion.

The original addon IS NOT required! Please uninstall it to prevent any conflicts.

Summary
This addon will constantly spawn random NPCs within a certain distance of any player.
As of now no other addons/gamemodes do this without manually placing NPC spawners everywhere.

Not only zombies can be spawned, but any class that works normally in the game.
Spawn settings can be changed via the "Spawn Editor" in the Q menu options.

This mod REQUIRES NPC info_nodes to work properly on all maps. Without them NPCs might not spawn. You can use the Nodegraph Editor to add your own info_nodes

Please rate this addon! Thanks

Features
  • Multiple spawn profiles
  • Advanced spawn options (KeyValues and spawn flags)
  • Dynamic support for all NPCs
  • Explosive NPCs
  • Chase players setting


Settings
You can change all of the settings via the spawn menu interface (in the Q menu) or through the GMod console.

In the GMod console you can use the following commands:
  • zinv 1/0 - On/Off.
  • zinv_explode 1/0 - NPCs explode when they die. (added so they can damage props if GCombat is installed)
  • zinv_maxdist 0-9999 - NPCs wont spawn further than this.
  • zinv_mindist 0-9999 - NPCs will only spawn after this distance from a player.
  • zinv_chaseplayers 1/0 - NPCs will try to move to the closest player.
  • zinv_maxspawn 0-300 - Max NPCs

To enable the console, go options>keyboard>advanced>enable developer console, then press the "~" key (the button above the tab key).

@soverign

You can give them custom weapons by going to weapon menu, right clicking whatever weapon you wanna give them (it just needs to support NPCs like TFA or ARRCW) and then going to the menu and pasting that into the empty weapon box (not the drop down menu)

Yeah I don't know what this is called in settings but I cannot find it, and the spawn rate is so high on spawn that it is crashing my game and the NPC's can't be mass deleted. I don't know how this is supposed to be working but this isn't it.

So, how would you recommend setting it up to be procedural? So, the npc only spawns ahead of the player, maybe out of sight?

zinv 0 to disable, zinv 1 to enable
the addon has some weird float thing for that cvar if you use the menu
