i really like this but is better if you can make playermodel on the platform is will become more authentic

Yep, I can't really fix that. The NPC's animation loves to have it's body sway around.

real quick i tried to get on the strider. it seems to work but everytime i stand on the strider the camera shifts away ALOT. i am not sure if its one of my other mods but yeah.

Correction to my last comment - it's right click on construction strider

@piter106, you sadly can't :(

yo how do i lower the strider

its a reskin of the strider with no gun and a localized physics platform parented to a bone

AND ALSO WHY IS IT JUST S RESKIN OF A STRIDER??

yeah it appears as an error

how make move

it appears as an error

Can you make it climb buildings.

where is it

"Ok so your gonna get on this strider, that is totally safe and have an rocket launcher and smg, its the weapons your always gonna have, your gonna patrol the city, and just make sure you hold onto something when this thing lowers or else your gonna fall and die because it lowers pretty damn fast anyways dont di- whaat're you doing? WAIT NO-"

Could you make it so your playermodel is visible while riding it?

it spawns far way in the sky is a bug

it says (vehicle addon that uses entities and not actual npcs) in the des

wait nvm

kk but does it come as its own npc?

It doesn't replace the strider model, it just adds a new one. That's what a "hex" model is, compared to a reskin.

i dont want to replace the sirder model

Odd, are you sure you can spawn the HL:A construction strider model ingame?

its also an error for some reason

sadly, its an error even tho i downloaded all needed stuff

cool

this is a half life alyx!

Alright cool. I mean if you want to know what keys to set it to you could use the switch weapon that the hunter chopper has in airwatch.

I'd need to create my own version as I'm not the owner of groundwatch, though there's two downsides to it.
The raising/lowering system is kinda buggy (as all my shit is), sometimes the animation just collides into the ground or whatnot.
The weapon keys for the normal strider are the same keys for raising/lowering, but that shouldn't be a hard problem to fix.
If I ever get around to creating my own version of the normal groundwatch strider, I'll add it. No clue when that would be.

Is it possible to get the lowering + raising on the main strider of groundwatch?

The strider is controlled in the same way as the groundwatch strider, someone "drives" the strider itself while others ride on top. Making a method for a rider to steer the strider would have been more accurate, I may get around to it someday.

How do you exactly "steer" the strider? Do you have to have a second person to be on it, or can you manually control it?

oh nvm

How do i shoot

true

Man I sure love to vomit every time I use the car.

I have no reason to believe you would, uses content from the construction strider mod.

Do I need HL2:Ep2 for this to function?

I'm sure it's possible with map scripting, though making it an addon would be a pain.
Reason I chose groundwatch for this addon was that it's not actually an npc, it's just an entity with strange lua magic animations, I'm not experienced enough with lua magic to do stuff with actual npcs, like proper special stuff to pill pack npcs.

I do entirely agree with you though, there's that mod with dropships that drop off npc soldiers, I wonder if it's posible for someone more skilled to make the soldiers patrol around a bit and call the dropship to pick em up after awhile of no contacts.

I wish there was and addon that allowed combine to enter an empty dropship container so that the dropship would fly away like an extraction.

No, just turned out the model didn't download correctly, which caused the error.

I am unsure, does it happen when despawning the strider? I had a difficult time fixing errors that came out when despawning and might have not got them all.
