NPC in CS:S
 

Hello,

Is there someone created a server-mod which creates NPC (non-CT, non-T, non-Hostage monster) ? Is it possible ? I would like to have zombies which spawn near campers and attack them.

It's not just a matter of creating/spawning them. That would be easy.

The code which controls them was removed from the CS:S binaries so alot of work would be needed.

It's not impossible, but time consuming!

Re: NPC in CS:S
 

Yeah, I know the latter part is more difficult, but currently I have troubles with the former...
I cannot find an appropriate classname for CreateEntityByName...

Re: NPC in CS:S
 

Because they are one in the same, the classes were removed from the binaries so you would need to recreate the class yourself while trying to match up the virtual functions with CBaseEntity even though we don't know what they are :\

Finally I could have written a code to spawn NPC headcrabs in CS:S.
They are quite stupid as I use the default NPC thinking algorithm defined
in CAI_BaseNPC, though...
Try my server if you are interested to see my headcrabs:

(You can launch them selecting the spider bomb extra weapon.)

Got some cool stuff going on there. I hadn't seen any other plugin (besides one I was working on) where you could pick up stuff. I hook the touch function. Do you do that or do you just check locations?

The energy dissolve from HL2 was a nice touch also.

Thanks for playing. As your guess, I use a touch hook for many object interactions.
Checking positions for every several ticks is easy, but awfully inefficient and not quite good way of programming. :-)

Re: NPC in CS:S
 

That's what I was guessing, but it felt slightly different. I must have had had something a little different in my VPhysics stuff, cause the player would often step up onto the healthpack model before the Touch was called.

Nice work!

I uses the following settings for the health-kit:
SolidFlags: USE_TRIGGER_BOUNDS; NOT_STANDABLE; TRIGGER
CollisionGroup: DEBRIS
MoveType: VPHYSICS, FLY_BOUNCE;
Solid: SOLID_BBOX
I think your code misses NOT_STANDABLE or something.

One year past from the discussion and finally I have the following:

Enjoy :)
