Description
What is it?
This is a simple addon that will spawn NPCs on the map and make them move around pre-set points. Can work without NAV mesh.



Does this load the system?
In most cases, this does not load the system, since NPCs spawn only within the player's line of sight, and are destroyed when the player is far away.



What is there?
There are several types of NPCs:

NPCs can move along predetermined movement points. In case of danger, they can try to run away, hide, scream in horror, or repulse the enemy. Sometimes they talk to each other and do other things. Over time, the list of events will expand.



Documentation?
While the documentation is under development, it will be updated over time.

I want more models!
Download sources and change configuration files. An example of how this can be done:

I've checked the mod several times now, and I can't identify any problems. If anyone has NPCs standing still, try deleting the "garrysmod\data\background_npcs" and "garrysmod\data\citizens_points" folders. Maybe something broke or cleared the nodes. After deleting the folder should restart the game, or better to do it with the game turned off.

I'm honestly confused on how it says simfphys works with background npcs, but everytime I put racecar drivers or citizens near simfphy vehicles that aren't militarized, they won't enter them.

Yup, they work fine on construct, but I can't seem to find any other maps they still work on, be they from the workshop or another source game.

If it is a mod conflict, it's gotta be a pretty prolific one that people are already subbed to that got updated, because I didn't install anything new (or remove anything, for that matter) between BGN working and BGN breaking.
