Oh, I think I've found a way to modify the damage. Thanks.

@♩ṳṧт Պ✺ℵ!кᾰ Which sniper as they each have different damage based on a mullipyer if I remember correctly

Hello, I'd like to modify the sniper's damage in Lua, but I haven't been able to get it to work. Could you please tell me how to successfully change the damage settings?

@Doom_Slayer I can try doing some more tests but I have not seen that one before

so why is it doing that? i already tried getting rid of my other mods and only have this one enabled but it still makes them shoot semi

@Doom_Slayer It should not do that as it does not override any of the default game models or ai.

the mod kinda makes the other combine soldiers hoot semi-like. basically instead of full auto they shoot their default guns like its a sniper rifle

awesome

Thanks, but needs update for new grenade warning voicelines for combine and metropolice, many voicelines has no used in this addon.

@Windows_TAHK updated metropolice voicelines

@Windows_TAHK I will get to fixing bugs and implementing some new features closer to the end of the month. In the meantime, efforts have shifted to preparing the release of another bigger addon. Thank you for the help and feedback. I very much appreciate it.

Bugs:

Metropolice snipers use combine voices grenade warning.

Friendly metropolice crouching snipers use combine damage sounds and grenade warning.

Snipers grenade warning not correct. And there are no phrases "Go down", "Shit!", "Watch it".

Fire momentaly killed EVERY sniper... Oneshot.

Idea:
Different gunshot sounds. (Low damage snipers can use standart hl2 sniper gun sounds.)

Thanks

@Windows_TAHK
"Metropolice (standart and elite) crouching snipers use's combine damage sounds."
Metropolice voices for the crouching variant should be fixed.

Regarding additional ideas:
I will look into laser colors and faster reload animations, no guarantee on those though.

Regarding grenades, manhacks, and moving, I moved these to my new vj base sniper addon I will be releasing early next month. I found it was going to take far to much to fit those capabilities into these npcs.

Bug:
Metropolice (standart and elite) crouching snipers use's combine damage sounds.

More ideas:
Elite combine sniper have red laser, and have more bid damage, and abiliti to use wallhack (to shoot through props/walls)

Ghillie combine and elite metropolice can very fast animation of reloading


Various colour of lasers


And please, implement my other ideas (grenades, manhacks, moving)

@Stupid_Roger All good

@rycch Thank you, you are the best

@Stupid_Roger

Have fun: https://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3141832713

An addon that included both would be perfect.

@Stupid_Roger Sure, due to a limitation with the original code, the crouching sniper is its own variant. Would you prefer just a standing or crouching variant of "Combine Soldier Sniper" or would you be fine with an addon that includes both?

@Windows_TAHK No problem!

I love this mod, thank you very much. Do you think you could upload one that only adds the combine sniper without its variations?

Thanks for new updates!

It is an npc addon. I fixed that tag with a recent update.

is this a gamemode or npc addon?

Fix working, thanks

@Windows_TAHK fixed the assassin texture issue.

Thanks for answer, i'm wating updates and fixes)

@Windows_TAHK

1) I am having another friend of mine verify the texture issue. I cannot seem to recreate it on my computer, but will keep trying.

2) I am working on a fix for held props breaking line-of-sight. Good catch on that one.

@rycch

1) I have big number of mods, but this not touching textures of combines. Maybe you forgot to add the necessary files, there is on the computer, but not in fashion, check it. I have often encountered such a situation when the addonmaker forget to add texture files.

2) Closed body with a prop/object of a target. I use physgun and prop, closed the center of the my body and snipers dont shoot to my head/foots, although they were open.

@Windows_TAHK
-"NPC Assasin have no textures"
I have been testing with no addons other than this one on and the assassins still have textures. It might be an issue with another addon you have active. Try running with just this addon and see if you are still having issues. If so, I can look more into the issue.

-"Snipers cant shoot head/foots (if the body is closed)"
What do you mean by "if the body is closed"?

-"NPC can move, to reach the player (if the distance is close), change position after the shoot."
I have another npc I am working on which does this. It will play more of a marksman role. I do not think I will be adding them to this pack though.

-"Together joint crouching and standing snipers."
I am looking into this. Right now it is a limitation of the original rebel sniper code these are based on.

I like some of your ideas for distinguishing them. I will test how balance some of them are before adding them officially.

Thank you for the feedback.

Problems:

NPC Assasin have no textures

Snipers cant shoot head/foots (if the body is closed), for it is enough to close the body and they dont shoot.

Ideas:

NPC can move, to reach the player (if the distance is close), change position after the shoot.

Together joint crouching and standing snipers.

Snipers can shoot through props


Distinguishing features from each other:
1) Ghillie, standart Combine sniper can throw grenade, metropolice can throw manhack (if the distance is close)
2) Elite sniper, assassin sniper can very fast aim and reload
3) Different amounts of health
4) Crouching combines can fast aimed

@Meh Not at the moment. I am looking for voicelines if anyone knows where to find some. I will update the assassin with these once I have voicelines that fit.

Does the assassin have female voicelines?

@ZackGamer27 You can shoot them, hit them, burn them, etc. That was one of the factors that drove me to create these. It seems most other sniper addons make them invincible to everything except explosive damage, like in hl2. These are vulnerable to all the same types of damage as most npcs.

can you shoot them or do you have to lob grenades at them?

BEES UPON YOU :
