It works

i spent way too long making the npcdrops and it dosent even work

i honestly think you should add a search menu and all that like zippys group spawner to make it eazier to get the entities and such

@Ori
The npc ids can differ from the one when you rightclick-copy. For example in that mod when I copy the zombine torso it copies as 'npc_headcrabzombinetorso_soldier' but when it's actually spawned you can see on the console it spawns as 'npc_zombie_torso'.
You have to put the second one when you are creating npcdrops. That means it's not possible to have drops for different kind of zombies provided by that mod. npcDrops doesn't support that right now.

Does not work anymore :<

Doesn't work with "Sabre-aN's Headcrab Zombie Mod", is there a work-around for this?

Because you are putting the model and not an entity name in there. Use execute lua and 'spawn prop in front'

Hey,
I've enjoyed this mod over the years, but there seems to be an issue with spawning props as entities to drop, regardless of the NPC type. I need NPCs to drop props to assist in seamless gameplay featuring a crafting system. Here's the error:

[1]:
["data"] = [{"shipment":false,"rate":1.0,"ent":"models/props_c17/oildrum001.mdl"}]
["npc_id"] = npc_zombie
got you
["models/props_c17/oildrum001.mdl"]:
["ent"] = models/props_c17/oildrum001.mdl
["rate"] = 1
["shipment"] = false
Attempted to create unknown entity type models/props_c17/oildrum001.mdl!


Whether or not this mod is discontinued, I would appreciate if you looked into this error. Have a nice day!

Pls can you make a new video pls for a bigger cality, is hard to read the commande you do great sir, and also, that work with props ?? because i dont know if is me or the mod, is hard sir

No. Only players.

Like, when an NPC kills an NPC they have a chance at getting that drop

If only NPCs can get drops also

Hope that there will be an update to make it work with more than just the vanilla NPCs at some point.

Is there any way to make an NPC drop multiple of the same item? NPCs can drop two different items, but if I want somebody to drop 2 AR2 Energy Balls, the NPC will only drop 1. Is there any workaround for this?

only works in npcs that i kill

I know a few others have asked this, but is there any way to assign unique drops to unique variants of NPCs, like elites and shotgun soldiers? It looks like they're all listed as npc_combine_s, and I can't find any way to give the unique variants specific drop lists.

how do I spawn items with more than one word? I've been trying for a hour and can't get it

plot twist: you died 3 years ago to that and are living out what you wish you lived out

person below me is stupid

😁

wait a minute i didn't have this installed, dumb me.

@cometopapa when i type !npcdrops in chat it doesn't work

combine really be carrying mayo on them 💀

this works fine for me idk what the issue is

it doesnt work I tried everything in the video

then the problem is prob with thus, i still can use this mod functions normally

I've used this mod in the past, and I have no idea why this is no longer functional, but I cannot pull up the GUI through the !npcdrops chat command anymore.

atrick21, thats basically the source engine problem, this is the code for these three variants combines, and linkz, try use no npc drops with this mod, the only what you choose will drop.

lol

and this mod is very complex becuz i try typing in crate for the drop and there was no crate so what els can i spawn or atleast give me some commands

wow 360p on the video i mean that sucks i cant even read what you are typing

Is there an option to make specific item drops for the different combine? because whenever I put npc_combine_s the item drops for all three combine npcs but I want to make the items specific for each.

I'd really like the option to enable or disable multiple drops. They are almost like a pinata now.

Hello there, amazing job! Just one question... Is it possible to select to drop just one item from the loot table of the npc? It will be amazing!

Is there a way to like...import and export different configs? Like, you make a config where a bunch of zombies and combines and other NPCs all can drop weapons ammo etc, then you move that config elsewhere and make a new config which has them only drop healing items, and be able to change between configs by importing and exporting/cutting and pasting the configs.
(That would be a good thing to add if you ever remake this and it isn't already there.)

is there a way to quickly add multiple drops to an npc? like a copy and paste or something? this works great, but gets slightly tedious when i have to make 5 replica drops for like 7 different npcs. I wanted to ask if theres a way to edit drops while in the files, cuz you can copy paste there, but i couldnt find npcDrops in the data folder, where i assumed it was

ye ye, i noticed this when changed map, this is blessing, thank you for the mod, helping me alot.

@zerozephyrum drops you create are saved, so yeah, no need to do every server start.

if i put a example, combine elite to drop battery, he will drop in every server i start without need to config? if this work like that this will help alot

anyway to make it so that it applies the chance on anything dying instead of a specific npc? would love that to not have to spawn ammo when i run out/start with obscene amounts

While I find myself coming back to this addon once in awhile god I wish there was a way to copy drops from one NPC to another.

i am trying to make combine npc drop stuff but im getting their id wrong since there is two words on each type ( soldier - elite ...) does anyone know how to make them drop ? NOTE : i did copy their id and past it
