Advanced Shadow Guy Nextbot [Highly Intelligent AI]

Description
ADVANCED SHADOW GUY - NEXTBOT


Experience a brand new Shadow Guy, completely rewritten from the ground up! This addon transforms the once background figure into an intelligent and dynamic threat. It also supports multiplayer so you and your friends can ghost hunt!

✨ Features
  • Creep/Stalking Mode: Shadow Guy roams around searching and detects player actions
  • Interacts with Light Switches: Manipulate lighting to affect visibility and ambiance
  • Interacts with Physics Objects: Flings objects around
  • Interacts with Doors: Opens doors near itself
  • Flickering Lights: Lights may flicker smoothly like a horror movie
  • Door Interactivity: Opens nearby doors dynamically and smoothly when roaming
  • Dynamic Pursuit: Variable-Speed chases with escalation
    AND MORE!



⚙️ Utility Menu

  • 🟢 Passive: Shadow Guy will never attack the player, longest respawn timer
  • 🟡 Default: Standard options that offer the best balance
  • 🔴 Aggressive: Shadow Guy will charge and chase almost every time


🎭 Dynamic Behavior System
The Advanced Shadow Guy showcases varied behaviors:
  • 🌀 Teleport: A classic behavior
  • 🏃 Chase: Will chase the player and fling props in the way
  • Attack: Launches at the player at high speed
  • 👀 Creep: Subtle stalking with searching, wandering and escalation
Unpredictable Respawn Dynamics: Each spawn is driven by chance, making it impossible to predict his next move. This randomness keeps gameplay engaging and fresh!

📌 Important Information
The Advanced Shadow Guy is optimized for medium-sized maps featuring light switches, doors, and physics props. While it will operate on any map with a navmesh, for the best experience, play on maps specifically designed with these elements.

💭 Final Notes
This was a passion project led by me, the lead developer. Alongside this project was "Conrad", lead quality assurance. Our goal was to create one of the best Nextbots on the Workshop, and we believe we have reached that goal. The Advanced Shadow Guy is a unique Garry's Mod experience. You'll be hard-pressed to find anything remotely similar at this time. Our code includes many complex systems that most Nextbots fail to implement. We believe you'll be pleasantly surprised with what we have to offer. Thank you for playing our addon, and thank you for all the likes and comments. We truly appreciate your feedback and support.

what would be cool is if he could randomly kill your spawned NPC's, and especially without showing it in the killfeed. that way it makes it look as if they died under very strange circumstances

i mean the main complaint of this is it cant kill npcs, if it could then thats amazing

What I mean, again, is that besides from the nextbot being very cool and unpredictable, you could also change his appearance by making him more transparent. I don't know how much more explanation you need. It would be cool if you could change the transparency of the Nextbot, or the other thing I mentioned: change the shape of the shadow to make it look more realistic, but I get it's just a blurry shadow, so no need to do that if you don't want to.

9/10. I really wish that the Nextbot was slightly animated and had as well a different shape, because this one is kinda visible and doesn't look too human. What I mean is that it would really work that you made the shadow a bit more transparent and moving like fog. Asides from that, it's a really cool mod!

10/10, paired this up with the terminator and changed the terminator model to a skinwalker and played the 4th recommended map
