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 )

Stop complaining if a couple of NPCs aren't supported.

@StrawWagen
I meant navmesh

Just hooks into the addon's "assault" system, basically makes all the squads think there's an enemy on top of the goal.

Made a special case too, which stops it from creating assaults for one specific team if they're occupying the goal, basically makes them capture it.

how does the dynsquad goal work?

You can't generate ai nodes.
And this doesn't do anything for nextbots

@Lightning
Just go on map with AI-Nodes/Navmesh. Or generate it in console

there were no zombies around so, odd

This never sets anything related to that.
If given the choice between a zombie 20 feet away, and a headcrab touching their toes,
rebels shoot the zombie.
As far as i am aware that's default behaviour

npcs won't shoot headcrabs
I have two other addons but I disabled just this one and they worked fine after

Does this work with INPC? I am assuming not because that mod enables them to move individualy
