addons on individual NPCs, sorry I answered late
remote salmon
and you want to transfer their models and such? or all behavior and stats and everything

models and sounds and animations

hmm you might just be able to extract it from the addon and put it into your directory

where is the directory responsible for the NPC?
finite spindle
yes, if you unpack it, then there will be folders, the contents of which will need to be thrown into the root folders?
to use it in hammer
remote salmon
just tested it
finite spindle
will the NPC from VJ base be transferred to hammer?
remote salmon
but then you will be able to spawn the models in hammer and shit, to have working NPCs is another thing, and I don't know how to do that
finite spindle
this is how it is done using gmad
remote salmon
yes
iirc NPCs in hammer are spawned with entities like npc_metrocop and such
meaning they have their own entities
finite spindle
yes
remote salmon
and idk how you would add NPCs from addons
i mean i think it involves modifying the fgd
but that's as far as i can help im afraid
finite spindle
I think entities are registered somewhere
remote salmon
yea, the .fgd
finite spindle
is this an archived file?
finite spindle
remote salmon
you can open it in a text editor
apparently this includes extra entities gmod has over hl2
finite spindle
most likely it is an archive, if 7zip is running on it
finite spindle
and that's it. you're right, 7-zip couldn't open it
remote salmon
but editing it probably won't be as straightforward
and i suspect this is just the hammer side of things
the compiler will have no idea what the entity is
finite spindle
1 sec
i can copy the second combine and see if hammer will react
thank you for telling me about this file, @remote salmon👍
remote salmon
ye, np
finite spindle
I have read the functions of this script - this is the script of the player himself, i.e. flashlight, movement, rotation
remote salmon
the .fgd?
