Air Cavalry Huey

Description
AIR CAVALRY HUEY NPC

A helicopter NPC capable of spawning and deploying of troops!

FEATURES
- Friendly and Hostile Huey Helicopters!

- Helipad respawn points for both!

- 4 new NPC weapons!

- Custom sound effects!

ABOUT
I always loved the mechanics of drop ships in video games, so I'd been planning to make something like this for a while. Now, finally, here it is. A fully functional Vietnam War style Huey that deploys troops on enemies. This took a tremendous amount of work and I did my best to pay extreme attention to detail on this one. I spent a good amount of time on the AI for this as well, so it should work in most open environments, including forests and cities.

REQUIREMENTS
You can find the required models here:
Soldier Models
M16 Models

Big thanks to all the model creators for making this project possible!

You don't need any additional games for this to work.

Things to be aware of:
You can control how long it takes before a crashed helicopter despawns with the ac_heli_despawn_time command. Default 60, set to 0 to never despawn.

There's a lot going on with each one of these, so if you spawn a lot of them your game will start to lag out.

Hostile helicopter crews jitter around due to the default behavior of npc_combine_s of setting a particular animation each frame. I have no idea how to fix this, but if you do, let me know.

Helicopters won't navigate well in small spaces, better for open maps with tall skyboxes.

The NPC's weapons are just for NPCs and can't be used by players.

The addon "Auto Remove Stuck NPCs" will cause helicopter crews to disappear, so make sure that addon is disabled if you plan to use this.

Ah, that can happen if there's a broken NPC. Most NPCs should have the Classify method, and if they don't, then they can cause problems. Try using some different NPCs.

I enjoyed this addon a lot, I actually want to create a similar one but instead using SNPCs. This is by far one of the best addons I used.

Honestly, it'd be cool to turn the whole thing into a tool with a bunch of customization options, and that really what I want to do next, but I'd just have to set aside the time to do it.
