AI Commanding

This addon adds a working commanding SWEP for several base's SNPCs

You can command squads of SNPCs and assign actions to them in a few seconds with this addon

There are commanding sound effects for all the actions!

When giving an order, most of the time your character will speak a random sentence related to it (can be disabled/enabled with a convar)

They have animated icons over their heads according to what they are doing

Controls:

-Left click (main attack): This selects SNPCs that are friendly to players and have their relationships to them as allies, so you can command them (has a blue sphere as the selection radius).

-Right click (secondary attack): If there's no near enemy in a radius of 200 hammer units, the units under your command will move to your crosshair (has a green sphere at the target position), else, your selected units will attack enemy (S)NPCs near your crosshair where you pointed (has a black sphere around the target).

-Left click + use key: This triggers the "charge" order, you can use this for surprise lethal attacks when flanking (has a purple sphere around the target).

-Reload: This clears your "selected squad", that way you can select another squad and give it different orders

-Reload + use key: If there are units under your command and ai_ignoreplayers is set to 0 then your squad will start following you, if they already were following you, they will instead stop following you

ConVars:

"snpc_commanding_allowtext" 1/0, this allows your character to say random sentences when you give orders

There's a "squad" counter, the icons can be adjusted with the convars "snpc_commanding_iconw" and "snpc_commanding_iconh"

You can find it in "VJ Base" category

This currently works on these type of SNPCs/NextBots:
-VJ Base SNPCs
-CPTBase SNPCs
-SLVBase SNPCs
-IV04Base NextBots
-DrGBase NextBots
- Other kind of SNPCs/NPCs
