when i walk into a barnacle i stop mid air while the tongue thing move up and then come back down but it works normally with npc's

what does fancy death do?

could you make it so when a barnacle eats a victim it will always pass the eligibility check / add that as a toggle-able feature?

if your game crashes just get a replacement model like half life 1 barncale or get a different one

My game still crash when I spawn him in and I thought this will fix it but no I still crashes.

The upgrade I didn't know the Barnacles needed but now they have it, they can't do without it. Will be using this every time I want to play with Barnacles now.

okay after opening gmod the next day it works again
wonder what was causing it to break earlier though
Gamer Awesome Mar 13, 2024 @ 1:43pm 
i remembered i used this in the past so i decided to check it out again. it worked fine at first but after a few minutes the spreading seemingly stopped working. its mostly default settings but eligibility and spread are at max with update timer length now since i wanted to see if it would help but even after waiting a bit and checking the entity report, nothing. no errors from the addon either

half life but there is 75034239 barnacles instead of a few:gman:
Clyde Jan 21, 2024 @ 10:19am 
it would be cool for a xen infestation mod from half life alyx or half life 1 where it would spawn plants and whatever
spikesooty Jan 14, 2024 @ 8:48am 
should make a switch that makes the players neck snappable by it, dying, and it will only eat the ragdoll.
Penguin Guy Jan 11, 2024 @ 8:08pm 
man, i wish this mod could make them eat everything like half-life Alyx but hey who knows?

(you don't need to add this feature, just curious on what that could look like or something)

Winter King check and mods that you have that mess with ragdolls
Magic Mikey Jan 7, 2024 @ 11:45am 
Is there an option / mod that allows you to save npcs from barnecles before the barnecle bites? Or before the npc dies.
Winter King Jan 4, 2024 @ 12:51am 
Dunno why, but for awhile now, whenever an NPC touches a Barnacle Tongue, the ragdoll goes flying at lethal speeds instead of being eaten.

I know it's not this mod, but I have so many installed that I haven't the faintest idea of where to even start to look. Trying to comb through each one would take forever, and uninstalling and reinstalling all of them is... not an option thats really open to me.

Suggestions are both welcome, and desperately needed.

If they don't eat players, make sure "ignore players" is off as they won't do anything then other than to npcs. Other than that though I will need more info if there are problems on your end, saying "it don't work" isn't going to help. I just used it and it worked absolutely fine, never ran into any problems like that on my end, I am not seeing the same problems and so I will need more info.
OnTheMatter  [author] Dec 21, 2023 @ 9:48am 
It still works perfectly fine for me (just used it yesterday on a friend's server), maybe it isn't working on one of the branches? I don't have any problems personally though, they spread, interact, etc just fine, maybe try tinkering in the settings if it seems jank, they are super janky npcs regardless and could just have a conflict with another addon perhaps, etc.

how the hell is this addon 5 stars if it doesn't work
之郎翘翘懒啪痒痒 Dec 18, 2023 @ 11:35pm 
Why do they lose their functionality after using this mod, they won't prey on NPCs, and it's useless to cancel your subscription
Cominforu Dec 7, 2023 @ 4:11am 
Only mod installed and its not working, its not eating players the model just goes away and nothing else yet it multiplies
aluno Oct 21, 2023 @ 11:51am 
can you disable their multiplying thing
gael the soldier Sep 26, 2023 @ 6:34am 
also, dont type hl2_episodic 1 into the console in any source game that isn't gmod, found out yourself if you do.
Delta Aug 24, 2023 @ 5:43pm 
it is completely broken!
BrockKids1 Aug 14, 2023 @ 12:12pm 
Why Does It Seem That The Barnacle's Lose Their Ai?
WorsethanWorst Aug 13, 2023 @ 11:26am 
oh yeah and if you make it as a separate mod I'm just saying that gluttonous barnacles would be a pretty cool name
WorsethanWorst Aug 13, 2023 @ 11:25am 
the "that" being the pikmin
WorsethanWorst Aug 12, 2023 @ 8:30pm 
I mainly want it bc I have a pikmin mod and that is the only thing that tries to eat them, and then it spits them out!
WorsethanWorst Aug 12, 2023 @ 8:28pm 
I am trying to find that kind of mod too, @POV CameraMan. can you add it, OnTheMatter?
󠀡󠀡 Jul 30, 2023 @ 1:57pm 
i wish they can eat anything
C++ Jun 27, 2023 @ 8:38am 
do you have ignore players god mode or ai disabled on?
Gabriel ULTRAKILL May 27, 2023 @ 1:12pm 
Players dont get eaten when eat players is on, why?
edgyzombie Apr 11, 2023 @ 3:23pm 
expect all of the antlions and zombies
edgyzombie Apr 11, 2023 @ 3:22pm 
npcs without this addon always attack barnacles
cardiepie Apr 2, 2023 @ 5:39pm 
it'd be nice if the Barnacles could only make another Barnacle only by eating something like a npc
Gamer Awesome Mar 2, 2023 @ 7:09pm 
or maybe the creator's fixed all this stuff since you posted them..
Gamer Awesome Mar 2, 2023 @ 7:08pm 
grabbing works for me.
also, just saying, im not sure i ever saw an npc naturally attack a barnacle outside of the mod either...
Farbott Jan 26, 2023 @ 2:39am 
They dont seem to be grabbing anyone, ignore players and disabled AI on or off.
Bad Goose Nov 7, 2022 @ 3:13pm 
This is my new favorite mod.
ibuprohpen Nov 4, 2022 @ 8:13pm 
metrocops dont attack them
mielatenas Sep 29, 2022 @ 8:45pm 
a killed non-human enemy will leave a tangible ragdoll and won't clean up, I guess it must need a corpse clean up system addon to work with.
.-.-Petřík-.-. Sep 28, 2022 @ 5:32am 
can barnacles growing in size
IntellectualPotato Sep 14, 2022 @ 10:30am 
Heres a godly idea: make Dr richard keller (npc) from half-life resurgence addon immune to the barnacles, instead he eats them! :steamhappy:
Jeremy Gaming Sep 14, 2022 @ 6:53am 
can you please make them eat ragdolls? like these that we can spawn from the spawn menu?
Umbra May 28, 2022 @ 9:36pm 
can you make it so when they kill you, your ragdoll hangs from the rope and its like a cooldown
Numa May 27, 2022 @ 2:01pm 
can you make them eat anything
Awakened NPC. Apr 22, 2022 @ 12:59pm 
no
ManFr0Mars Apr 18, 2022 @ 8:59pm 
In Half-Life: Alyx, barnicles spread through spores, similar
Ninjablobs Apr 10, 2022 @ 2:28pm 
Please make this thing able to eat props and items.
OnTheMatter  [author] Feb 23, 2022 @ 7:26am 
Fixed. Also stopped barnacles from spreading onto the skybox roof, that was a weird situation where I had "thought" I added a check, but in reality it simply didn't exist at all, haha. Either way, the toggle should be working now and they also won't spread onto the skybox roof anymore as a bonus. Jank jank jank jank jank jank, and thanks for letting me know about that issue.
OnTheMatter  [author] Feb 23, 2022 @ 7:01am 
Jank :steamfacepalm: I'll fix that real quick
