Combat Buddies

---

Blargh Commisioned me to add new this new Mechanic to the mod + a Bodygroups Editor in the Combat-Buddy Editor, and alongside that i decided to better the code and fix some glitches aswell.


This mod was a Commission made by Blargh, This was my first ever paid Commision! Everything was coded from scratch and took me 5 days non stop to fully finish it while taking small breaks, the Money helped me a lot to pay the bills here at home, if you want to thank someone for this mod go Thank Blargh!

yes Blargh did allow me to publish the mod even though is a commision, that said, if you want to make me a commision for a simple/complex mod, check My Profile to check if i'm available for commisions and more info! if you would like to Tip, check out my Kofi below ( I have a patreon, but i'll only use it when i make something much bigger, like some of the coop-pve gamemodes i have planned. )

This mod allows you to have NPCs as Buddies, giving them custom names, having them in your own party where they will protect you and follow your commands, the Mod also comes with custom systems that you can activate for your NPCs in your party, such as the ability of them Healing you or Speak when given commands, you can also give them Buffs ( If enabled by the host ) which can make them quite powerful and way more useful!


You can have All types of NPCs in your party and they will follow your commands, Even hostile enemies! ( If Allowed by the host/server ), Your Buddies will not attack each other no matter what class they are, so you can have an Alyx + a Zombie + a Combine and they'll all be friendly to each other, and you can have them attacking all NPCs who are hostile to you or be friendly to all NPCs that are friendly to you aswell! and yes Custom Model NPCs too!

• Target: Makes your Buddies target that NPC as Hostile( watchout for if you have the option Dont-Target Friendlies active otherwise this will not work for friendly npcs, Using this, unlike Target-All-Hostiles will not make that npc hostile towards your buddies. )

The Combat Buddies Editor ( not to be confused with Combat Buddy Manager ) allows you to edit your current group of Buddies, check Custom Settings to see all of the available settings you can customize on your buddies!

---

The Combat Buddy Manager Allows you to save any of your favorite buddies and all of their settings into your local gmod data files, meaning that any buddies you add/remove there will be saved in your game Locally and allow you to use them in any server and singleplayer.

And Again, check Custom Settings to see all Available custom settings.

---

An Option which Automatically Loads all of the Buddies you had previously active in your Buddies-Group before.

Notice that this system creates the save-file Server-Side, meaning that it Will not save in your local files to load on other servers, Thus meaning the File will only be created on that server's Host files or Dedicated server's files.

This Option can be Deactivated by the Server Host or Admin, If Deactivated no new last-buddies save files will be made nor the code will re-spawn your last group of buddies.

Warning: Buffs can be quite OP and can be Fully deactivated by the Host/Admins, when deactivated none of the following settings will take effect, but you don't have to re-apply them to the NPC.

If the buff is of a numeric value, Leaving at 0 will not Activate the Buff on the NPC.
