NPCs spawning with no weapons

[Robo]

When I spawn NPCs in singleplayer or multiplayer, they don't spawn with weapons, I tried checking the contex menu then it says there weapons are in default, the NPCs are not only spawning with weps, but others as well, like SNPCs or Nextbots. Any help would be appreciated...

I have this problem as well. I suspected it was the Anti-Backdoor addon, but when i told the creator he claimed that there indeed seems to be an error but NPCs won't spawn with weapons even if he uninstalled the addon. If you want i will go disable all addons and see if the bug still presists. If it does, then its a Gmod bug that will eventually be patched. For now, there is an addon called NPC Tools. It has an NPC Spawner which you can make it spawn only 1 npc, then remove the spawner and you keep the NPC and they will also have the weapon you picked on the tools menu. I will give you the link to the addon in a minute.

I had the mod, and I haven't been playing GMod for a long time. Before, the NPCs were fine. But now since I've been inviting friends to play and play singleplayer, this issue started persiting. Any addons that would help NPCs equip there default weapons? And thanks for responding to what happened. I'm pretty sure other people are having this issue.

Like i said, the NPC tools is the only thing you can use right now. Also, you can give them the default weapons. But unless you are using TF2 pill pack, the default HL2 weapons in the spawner will be replaced with those of TF2. If you really need to, i can go search for other addons that can let you forcefully give the NPCs weapons. (Extended Context Menu allows you to change and give them weapons but they will not work. The NPCs will just stand around and not use them)

I found another addon that may help. But i don't think it supports NPCs from addons, but still better than nothing. I haven't tried it myself so i don't know what you should expect or do.

If it doesn't support SNPCs or other NPCs from addons, then use model manipulator to change their skins. If the model you are using has bones of that NPC of course

I listened and did to what you said, but my NPCs are still not spawning with weapons. And I believe everyone in GMod is having the same issue too in singleplayer. I also discovered in multiplayer. This doesn't happen, when I spawn NPCs. They spawn with weapons and they walk around and attack.
