Half Life 2 NPC Spawning Part 1

[LuiDeca]

how do you make an noc invincible?

[PivotB3stZ]

I need huge help here.

I made a half life 2 mod and did everything in C++ that I was supposed to do (I.E. Changing a file to "Release" instead of "De-bug") Anyways, I have my mod shown up on my steam list and everything and have started making a map in hammer SDK with it. However if I want to play it after compiling I always get a long error about how it failed because "FS" was already running or something. CAN ANYONE HELP ME? I've done this for exactly 2 days when it comes to modding. thanks!

@goldenelitezealot

This program is Hammer Valve Editor, in the source sdk tool package.

perfect vid

[MrLarryGamePlayer]

Do you need HL2 or Garry's Mod configuration to make the spawner? When I make my spawner, its a small square and it does not look like my NPC I picked.

[Tormundellis]

@MrLarryGamePlayer Go to world model, if the is one. Search in the filter the name of what you would like. Hope I help.

[redscreen454]

does this work for counterstrike source too?

[texlyon]

no. you must buy hl2

[DrMorvia]

Don't say I'm crazy for this

but.........

how do we spawn npcs on H-L 2 Deathmatch

I've seen maps that do this

[assassian111]

your crazy

[mikkoass222]

just like this.

i made one

[kacper344]

You havent info nodes!

[emripen]

my spawning guys are so small, how do i make them big like yours?

[littleboyred1]

im not complaining, (much) but quality is so low that the text looks like squiggly lines! (i havent watched HQ yet, dotn judge me.)

[cruckz]

yeah your right the writing does turn to squiggles but its not my fault when this was uploaded it had to be a certain number of meg and when i compiled the vid to that size it downgraded the quality to this but you really dont need the writing that much

[cruckz]

no!

[silentcascade]

@cruckz try VirtualDub

[darthevader64]

in half life 2 i shot a stalker in the head and my game froze......:how to spawn one: go 2 console type in npc_create npc_stalker

[blackwersus]

i had the same shit

[DJdeaddude]

yh because you ran it on the hl2 engine you need to run it in the hl2:ep1 or 2 engine :D

[blackwersus]

ok cool

[honse246]

it freezes because their is no death animation for hl2 but in hl2 ep 1 their is

also

i had a broken stalker npc in gmod and killed it and the body stretched out all over the place like in fallout 3 when the stuff flys all over the place

[Commanderlego]

hey

when i save and compile my map

and when i get into Hl2 it dont work it takes me to main menu.

do i use Deathmathch or what?

[cruckz]

make sure you have no spaces in your level name

[dester3]

Best tutorial ever, your the best cruckz.

[mewanksta11]

HELP

how can i make a npc that atacks me

evreytime i try the npcs just stay there

ALSO when i make a zombi my hl2 crashes trying to run the map

[thelaughingcheese]

i think you are using deathmatch. if u are than ull need to learn to use ai_relationship and point_servercommand. cruckz has a video on how to use ai_relationships

[cruckz]

thanks cheese :D

[thelaughingcheese]

no prob ;) just want to help people who have the same problems as i did

[cruckz]

i get quite a few of these questions everyday nice when sum1s already answered it 4 me :D

[Ricky2442]

great as always, i only have one question - why is it important that combine need too have 1 grenade?

[cruckz]

its not really important it just makes the gameplay a little more fun forces you to move :D

[LoLWTF77]
