Hostile Melons

Description
A small not-so-small-anymore addon that adds 21 new hostile entities in the form of melons. Partially inspired by the Prop Virus addon.

Features
  • 21 hostile melons
  • vFire support
  • StormFox 2 support
  • NPC support (AI can shoot at melons)
  • ai_ignoreplayers support
  • Decent customization options
  • Settings menu for easier configuration

Melon Types
  • Balloon Melon - A melon attached to a rope. Works like a stationary turret. Pulls upwards like a balloon.
  • Camo Melon - Cloaks itself when engaging a target. Insta-kills in its cloaked form.
  • Explosive Melon - A melon that has been infused with TNT. Has a customizable explosion trigger radius.
  • Factory Melon - An armored Mother Melon that produces other armored melons.
  • Fire Melon - A fiery melon. Can be extinguished. Can spawn vFire.
  • Generic Melon - A pretty much normal melon if you ignore the fact that it's sentient and hostile.
  • Grenadier Melon - An armored melon that shoots frag grenades. Its armor is destructible but it ignores explosion damage.
  • Heavy Melon - An armored melon that's slower and shoots. The armor can be destroyed only by explosions.
  • Homing Melon - A flying melon.
  • Ice Melon - A frozen melon. Turns NPCs into ice statues. Freezes players. Has a customizable unfreeze delay (3 seconds by default). Uses the ice material from TF2.
  • Invincibility Melon - A purple melon that makes other melons around it (512 HU radius) invincible. Cannot give other melons of this type invincibility.
  • Jumper Melon - A melon that can jump. Its jump force and delay can be customized.
  • Lava Melon - A Fire Melon with a bigger fire particle and the ability to change the StormFox 2 weather.
  • Light Melon - Heavy Melon's sibling. A bit lighter and faster than the Heavy Melon. Has destructible armor like the Grenadier Melon except it doesn't ignore explosion damage and is a bit weaker.
  • Meat Melon - A melon made of meat (somehow). Makes squishy meat noises. Deals twice as much damage as the Generic Melon.
  • Melon't - A weird melon that deletes almost everything it touches.
  • Minelayer Melon - Spawns Combine Mines. Has the same armor as the Grenadier Melon.
  • Mother Melon - A big melon that can spawn other melons. Can also spawn melons on death.
  • Rainbow Melon - A gamer RGB version of the generic melon.
  • Scare Melon - A Generic Melon that pretends to be a normal melon. As a result it has a smaller detection range to accomplish that task.
  • Small Melon - A smaller, faster generic melon. Pretty hard to hit.

ConVars & ConCommands
There's now so many ConVars that listing and describing them exceeds the addon description character limit. If you want to change them you can use the settings menu in the Utilites spawnmenu tab.
Currently there's only one serverside ConCommand:
  • hostilemelons_reset_server_settings - Sets all serverside settings to their default values.
