Need help: Nextbot creation

[ZackTheUnknown]

I've pretty much got the base of my 'meme' nextbot worked out. I'm able to spawn it with no errors, but when I DO spawn it, it's just an invisible...something. It doesn't even move!

If anyone (preferably one of the creators of the Sanic-based things) knows how to get it working, please help me. I'll even post a comment/reply of what coding I have on it.

Bump 'cause no one's listening! *X(*

Could you tell me how to create of these meme nextbots?

Okay~... Not the response I need, but I can give you two tips on how it's done.

First: All you basically need is Notepad++. Thankfully, it's a 'code creator' that is completely free to download.

Second: You just need to follow the instructions to create a nextbot here: https://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/NextBot_NPC_Creation

You can also use Notepad++ to grab certain aspects from the first/main meme nextbot, Sanic Hegehog. Just 'subscribe' and look in GarrysMod/garrysmod/addons.

Are there any default programs I could use alternative (Wordpad, ETC) as notepad++ would be my last resort

Nope, sorry. Besides, it's not too hard to do coding in Notepad++. You just need to know what you're doing.

But...if you really don't understand how coding works, then you're outta luck, mate.

does it also require notepad++ to edit the picture file?

Depends on you mean by 'picture file'.

If it's what the meme actually looks like, you'll find that as the nextbot's "model". You just need a custom picture depending on what kind of nextbot you're making. But it has to be a PNG image. (I have no idea why most things don't work with JPEG images.)

If it's an example picture to show its appearance in the spawn menu, I haven't figured that out yet.

And where might the nextbot's model be located?

If you followed the instructions on the site to the letter (or just copy/pasted it into a LUA file), you'll find the model in the "Initialize" function.

btw where do I put the picture I want to use

Normally with stuff like that, you'll wanna have the picture in the same place as the LUA file.

Supposedly there's a trick to having it elsewhere and still have it work, but I haven't figured that out yet.

Can't find the nextbot's model I see initilize function, but no "Model"

[ZackTheUnknown]

Did you follow the instructions on the website? The 'Model' process is called "self:SetModel" and should be the first thing that appears in the 'Initialize' function.

It (the Initialize function) is literally the first thing that the webpage tutorial addresses.

How is everyone a douchebag? Maybe not many people know how to code?
