Now I can make full on wars!

Would it be possible to have the console commands accessible through the spawn menu?

Does this work with VJ units?

@Freedom The Weirdo

Probably because VJ recently updated.

does this work with Enhanced Sandbox NPCs? I think it has it's own squad system or not, I think it just makes NPCs be able to be in squads than improved behaviour with them

Are you on a map with AI nodes?

seems broken for some reason
wont work for rebels or combine at all weird

Not really sure it ever worked with vj base

I love using this mod with vj military snpcs but not sure if its just me but it seemed like the vj snpcs have stopped forming squads even with this mod installed.

I find that weird because it worked perfectly before

Tested it out ingame works good thanks for the quick fix!

Should be fixed now, thanks for making the clip

Nvm, yeah it's dynsquads

Yeah i disabled all the mods and it seems to only do this with this mod combined with iNPC, after i disabled this mod i would no longer see this animation bug.

That really doesn't look like anything dynsquads does, i can check it out tho

here is the clip

Conflicts with iNPC
Breaks Metro Cop Reload Animation with pistol

I have an idea for new feature.

While in default AI as we know, there is a bug with most resistance npcs, when they try to use crouch cover low hint, the animation does not play right. Leaving them exposed for damage.
And over all the default AI sends them for slaughter anyway.

So i thought, if squads used ai_goal_standoff and their leader as the battle line target. Oh my.. That would be absolutely glorious.
Even Combine or any custom npc would greatly benefit from it.

So something like "npc_dynsquads_usestandoff" ? :D

So yeah, would try to create something myself but, yeah don't know Lua. :c

Anyway thank you so much for your effort.

Yes

does this work on vortigaunts?

Glad it's gettin used

Thank you so much for npc_dynsquads_ignoremapcreated
Now this mod is beyond perfect.

Gotcha, I appreciate the transparency!

The error message is an engine error, my fixer is just a bit slow

Ahh so it only happens when it detects it? That’s a relief, maybe make the error messages part of the developer mode output since the related errors fix themselves and wouldn’t need further intervention in most cases?

It kicks out offending npcs, the error would last forever before I made it kick them out

When using a zombie mod that allows infections it often leads to this error;

"ERROR: Squad 'dyn_6466' has enemies in it!
monster_zombie doesn't like Metro Police (Police)"

Is it at all possible to have it just kick out the offending npc or sanity check something hasn't changed on it's own? There's no good way to disband the squad aside from all of it's members dying.

Forgot to add the idle wandering feature to the description, oops!

Nevermind, I think it works exactly that way, but in rare occurences it may fail

So maybe there is a lack of inter-squad communication.
I think if one metrocop squad encounters a group of rebels and starts shooting, they should call in other squads for reinforcement

Is it the case?

awesome addon!
I see something funny though - one squad of metrocops decided to just wander around the other side of the map, while all their teammates are fighting in deadly warfare (i've set the capture point)

okay it was the map problem (ai nodes)

NPCs just stand still. If I place an enemy just next to them they will shoot and move a little bit but they don't move towards the dynasquad goal thing

Entities>Other

how do i set a dynsquad goal?

NEW CONVAR!
npc_dynsquads_ignoremapcreated, default 0
Makes dynsquads ignore map-created npcs!

Very good mod, makes combine super scary

bwahahaha

Somehow overrides VJ Base. Guarding NPC's keep leaving their post. There's a VJ Stalker NPC who sits in a chair and he walks away bringing the chair with him.

they're bored

This mod broke the start of the hl2 campaign and metro cops that are supposed to stay still keep jumping and walking around

Really good addon.Really helps build the sense of npcs exploring.

good

Smol update!
Made assaulting less deathball-ey

squads will now only call for backup globally if they're losing members
otherwise they'll calmly call for backup from a nearby squad
Leads to npcs hanging behind the front lines waiting for the right time to reinforce their teammates

+Add npc.dynsquads_NoYap per-npc-check

Scratch that, not this mod's fault

i wonder, is it possible to add a config to let players decide how big a squad can be at any given time?

Does it stop when you disable this addon?

causes rebels to snap their hands and feet in half while using an emplacement gun
