TFL38's Random Events Mod

(again, like my NPC spawner, probably not the most efficent or optimized, but it gets the job done for me.)

Do you want random events like terraria? Or random swarms like DRG? Well, this addon is for you then.
It makes it so at intervals, there's a chance for events to occur, like NPC invasions, Environmental disasters, or even just weird noises and coloration.

IF THE MAP HAS A NAVMESH OR IS FULLY AI NODED, THE NPC SPAWNING FUNCTION WILL WORK!

It does not have or trigger events randomly by default (for possible server reasons). In order to make your map have random events and to make said events. Go to your addons folder in the Garry's Mod directory:

Create a folder, name it whatever you want.
Inside the folder, create a folder named "lua".
Inside THAT folder, create another folder but named: "tfl38_events".

To create an event, make a folder inside named: "events"
and inside that folder, create a txt and name it whatever you want your event to be named.
set its file type from .txt to .lua

To create a map with events, make a folder inside "tfl38_events" named: "map".
Inside that folder, create a txt file, name it after the map you're targetting (gm_construct for example).
again, set its file type to .lua

To make it so all maps (excluding the ones in the map folder) have events.
Inside the "tfl38_events", make a new txt file called "map_shared".
and change its file type to .lua

What the directories should look like:
garrysmod/addons/YOURMODNAME/lua/tfl38_events/events/EVENTNAME.lua
garrysmod/addons/YOURMODNAME/lua/tfl38_events/map/MAPNAME.lua
garrysmod/addons/YOURMODNAME/lua/tfl38_events/map_shared.lua

events_npc_maxdistance 2000
events_npc_mindistance 100
events_enable 1

events_current ""
events_current_stage ""

events_refresh (This'll reload whatever variables you have set for the map and events. So you do not have to change map whenever you change the values and configuration for the map.)
events_trigger "EVENTNAME" (If you have a valid event or something close to one, it'll force the event. Otherwise it will attempt a random event.)


It is compatible with ulx as well, with it being admin only by default.

ulx events_distance 100 2000
ulx events_refresh
ulx events_enable
ulx events_disable
ulx events_trigger
