like tf you trying to prove?

lone herald
#

Yeah, I noticed that there's a group of 4 that are like hating on nextbots?

tawdry osprey
#

idk

lone herald
#

No reason at all

tawdry osprey
#

its weird

lone herald
#

Agreed

#

Yoooo

lone herald
white pumice
#

"for no reason at all"

lone herald
white pumice
#

why should i prove anything

#

what is there to prove

lone herald
#

exactly, that's what I'm asking you

white pumice
#

ok wtf

lone herald
#

c'mon man I'm not trying to make enemies on this server but seriously why do you have to hate nextbots so much?

white pumice
#

like there is a reason to like/love them

lone herald
#

I've been long enough in gmod to know in-fact that yes, nextbots did in-fact become a huge trend in this community and after a while it got white bland like... I mean it's getting annoying to see them everywhere but then at the same time I'd like to see people not hating on it cause for some starter devs on gmod it's a very good off-start as there's also a bunch of tutorials/forums sharing on how to make em'

#

after all not proving anything but I just wanted to make it clear

#

please

white pumice
#

no, it's the worst thing to start with, people just copy paste a template they found on the workshop, the only thing they learn is converting textures to vtfs and editing two words in a vmt

#

the thing is that they're low ass quality "addons", spammed all around because they're easy to make/copy and requires no effort at all

#

there are plenty of ways to learn scripting and source modding, this is the worst for the actual learning individual and for the workshop

lone herald
#

true, true you do have a point but I mean it's probably gonna be over soon anyway? And I agree it's actually really easy to make a nextbot in-fact I made mine off of a template because I'm not a lua coder myself I make animations, art and other stuff way better than I do with coding so

white pumice
#

I don't think it'll be over soon, it was over some time ago, it's now back, can't kill the trend

lone herald
#

hmm, that got me thinking well if there's so many open sources/tutorials/forums on how to make nextbots then why people barely make actual good tutorials?

white pumice
#

brb

lone herald
#

alright

#

and to add up I was also gonna say that if there we're more people trying to teach others code and the basics of gmod scripting then I feel like a lot of people would already switch?

#

I might be wrong though and there's a plenty of tutorials already

#

but you get my point

white pumice
#

CODE BLUE

#

litteraly

#

i first learned scripting 3 years ago because I liked darkrp and wanted to make a server

#

for testing purposes

#

to see what I could do with it

#

then I kept watching hours and hours of tutorials about lua and stuff

#

it was super interesting

#

and now I do plenty of shit from planes to bases to gamemodes to playermodels to maps

lone herald
#

cool

#

I mean I one day wanna make an npc editor

#

so like you can edit its stats in-game and stuff

white pumice
#

that's interesting

#

i tried making a lfs plane editor like that

#

and gave up lol

#

too many different things

lone herald
#

aw man

#

yeah I get that

white pumice
#

too many values to edit, too many vectors

lone herald
#

I mean making something like an in-game editor does require the curtain skill

white pumice
#

i prefer blender and brain for that job

lone herald
#

agreed

white pumice
lone herald
#

so not too complex but decent

#

so you won't really be able to edit a bunch of properties, only the ones that would be prefered

white pumice
#

I see, though I'm not sure if you can register new npcs at runtime

lone herald
#

can you simplify?

white pumice
#

when you create a new entity/npc, like creating the files for it, you have to reload your current session

lone herald
#

ohhhh

#

hmmmm

#

what if before you load in, it'll ask you what you wanna change for the nextbot?

#

like it'll freeze the nextbot/npc from loading and it'll ask what you wanna change or keep it to default

#

and then you can enable or disable the window

#

if you'd like

#

actually nevermind

#

I don't think that'll work

#

I mean it'll probably break and take a long time setup each entity

#

unless I could combine each nextbot/npc setting into one

#

yeah sorry I'm just brainstorming atm

#

trying to think how to attach each entity into one setting
