How do you edit what weapons NPCs use permanently?

[redwolf344]

i use addons to change the weapon but it resets right after. Dont you think a futuristic soldier holding a SPAS-12 is weird?

Create a script that changes their weapon on spawn.

I'd imagine you could use the NPC spawn hook (if there is one) to strip its weapons and give it the weapon of choice after it spawning in. There's probably an addon for that somewhere out there.

You'd use the PlayerSpawn hook and check isBot(). PlayerSpawn is called for bots as well.

There are several NPC Weaponry addon, look them up in Workshop. Not sure if there are futuristic weaponry included. I guess that doesn't matter, as long as bullets can still hurt.

What?
You can change the default weapon for NPCs to spawn with by using the appropriate tab in the context menu, top left. (Hold C).
I am already using it to have everything spawn with the ALYX GUN.

That limits you to use HL2 weapons only, doesn't it?

Possibly, yes.
Although isn't that the limit of standard NPCs to begin with?
I have never seen NPCs use any other weapons even one unless the weapons come with their package and is used automatically.

I reckon that's not. I used to have some context menu mod that allowed me to rearm NPCs with any weapons that I had in my spawn menu. Maybe I should try making a console command with the lua hook and see what happens.
