Description
Automatically shunts npcs into valve's squads.

Extra features!
  • Npcs will chatter when they do any custom behaviour!
  • When any squad spots an enemy, they'll cry for backup!
  • Entire system is based on disposition, so custom factions wont break it!
  • Idle squads will report in and do their very best to reinforce their buddies.
  • Removed grigori support.
  • Half-decent duplicator support!
  • Leaders who have lost all their buddies will throw in the towel and join someone else.
  • A "Dynsquad Goal" ( think capture point! )


All this together means that npcs will break up into little squads, constantly moving around the map!


Some Caveats
  • Works best with npcs that can join valve squads ( basically all default npcs, combine, rebels, zombies, antlions )
  • This addon doesn't directly affect actively fighting npcs ( no extra tactics in close quarters! )

Console commands
npc_dynsquads_enabled ( enables/disables the addon ) npc_dynsquads_yapping ( enables/disables the extra idle npc voicelines ) npc_dynsquads_doassaults ( idle npc reinforcing ) npc_dynsquads_dowandering ( idle npc wandering ) npc_dynsquads_developer ( enables/disables debug info )

Are you on a map with nodes?
Test it on gm_construct to be sure

Why? What would they do instead, walk away from you?

Someone really needs to make a mod similiar to this but one that prevents NPCs from all rushing at you at once on noded maps

Is this compatible with Lynch's Better AI mod? I wanna hear your experience. Thanks!
