Description
Automatically shunts npcs into valve's squads.

Extra features!
  • Npcs will chatter when they do any custom behaviour!
  • When any squad spots an enemy, they'll cry for backup!
  • Entire system is based on disposition, so custom factions wont break it!
  • Idle squads will report in and do their very best to reinforce their buddies.
  • Removed grigori support.
  • Half-decent duplicator support!
  • Leaders who have lost all their buddies will throw in the towel and join someone else.
  • A "Dynsquad Goal" ( think capture point! )


All this together means that npcs will break up into little squads, constantly moving around the map!


Some Caveats
  • Works best with npcs that can join valve squads ( basically all default npcs, combine, rebels, zombies, antlions )
  • This addon doesn't directly affect actively fighting npcs ( no extra tactics in close quarters! )

Console commands
npc_dynsquads_enabled ( enables/disables the addon ) npc_dynsquads_yapping ( enables/disables the extra idle npc voicelines ) npc_dynsquads_doassaults ( idle npc reinforcing ) npc_dynsquads_dowandering ( idle npc wandering ) npc_dynsquads_developer ( enables/disables debug info )

I wonder why everyone really want Support Grigori. Is there any reason behind it?

After all he's a very unique npc, and most custom weapons won't work for him as he try to 'full auto' firing which breaks the weapon.

Nope, It's made npcs act funny sometimes, but basically no other packs do this, and it's designed not to conflict if possible.

does this conflict with other npc mods? I've been thinking about trying to compare ai mods but I wouldn't know how to have one be using the dynamic squad and the other "smarter combine" mod, stuff like that.
