I can`t spawn entities from addons for some reason

Hey @Lukencio™, you're welcome! Glad to help with my mods :) What doesn't work about the "snap-to-ground"? Are you trying to snap it on the world or on specific entities?

I guess that the "snap-to-ground" option doesn't work?

Thank you! I've been looking for a entity spawner for a very, very long time! You are the best. Thank you

Hey @vinny1129t, sorry for the late answer, you need to give yourself a `gmod_tool` and select the "Entity Spawner" tool of the "VKX Tools" category (accessible via the spawnmenu), which is a SWEP only available in Sandbox and gamemodes that inherits it (such as DarkRP).

Hey @Archie, sorry for the late answer, it depends on what entity you're trying to spawn: if it's default DarkRP food, my mod doesn't support it right now, if those are spawnable entities (i.e. accessible from the spawnmenu) from a custom mod, they should be usable.

it says i cant access without tool gun how do i get a tool gun?

So, forgive my smooth brain, but i assume i can spawn food items with this?

I was using "Customizable Entity Spawner" to randomly spawn food items around the map for my solo Survival RP sessions, but recently that mod stopped working, so now i'm looking for a replacement. Since you only listed "Weapons" and "Scripted Entities" in your mod's description, i'm in doubt whether this will work for my Survival game or not.

Cheers!!

@marlboro Yes it is, the permanent spawners are saved per map, so you can make one configuration per map

is this per map?

Hello @rustyshackleford1954, are you talking about the Player Presence Radius option? Do you need to set it enabled? Otherwise, you could just disable it

Hello @mielatenas, this issue is already documented here [github.com], however I have no plan to work on this mod anytime soon, sorry.

is there a way to spawn in an entity or NPC when you're outside of the spawn radius?

NPCs spawns and hold a single chosen gun and can't pick the ones you want, combine soldiers do always the ar2, I was wondering if can you include a set of guns for each npc?

Thanks!

Alright, hope you find a way to your problem, you're welcome!

Yes, recycling is a mechanic of my mode. But helping me is not worth it, since I asked my friend to make props as an entity. Also thank you for this beautiful addon)

@D3LTuM I already know that, my point is: do you have precision on what is your gamemode and the "recycling" part? Is it your own custom gamemode? Is "recycling" a mechanic of that gamemode? If yes to both, as a workaround, I could suggest to create a custom entity for your "recycling" mechanic that you use as a spawnable entity with my tool

You asked me why I need your addon to spawn the prop, I replied that I need it for my game mode

@D3LTuM I'm not sure what does that mean, can you be more precise?

I need it for my gamemode. It's supposed to spawn props for recycling.

Hello @D3LTuM, currently there is no way of doing it, you could theoretically create a custom entity script that spawns with a specific model (acting like a prop), but that could be very inconvenient if you want multiple models to spawn. For what usage do you want this?

Is there any way to add a prop to spawn it?

@Hosterie I see, I've read the code of ZBASE and according to the implementation of both mods (ZBASE and mine) it makes total sense. I'm gonna write that down and close the issue on Github. Thank you very much!

"Default Spawn Menu
Should Zbase NPCs be added to the regular NPCs menu too?"
If it's checked, it works

nope, I mean the default NPC menu

@Hosterie Do you mean from the ZBASE menu?

Guthen, I just figured out something regarding zbase
Turns out zbase NPCs *are* compatible, just as long as you check the "add to default spawn menu" option

@2NA Oh great, no problem, have fun!

They seem to have mostly fixed themself somehow?? I think it's a matter of source spaghetti at this point, sorry for the trouble

My discord username is "vyrkx"

Hey @2NA, it seems like a very weird issue, can you contact me on Discord so I can better help you? I would specifically like to get a recording of the bugs

Nevermind, now both problems are happening, I have no clue why it's bugging this hard

Nevermind, I got things to spawn, but now when changing the spawn chance, it keeps resetting to 100% randomly on certain weapons with no pattern to it.

I can't figure out how to actually spawn the entities in, I watched the tutorial and all but I'm still not sure? Left click just places a spawner, but no actual entity. Sorry for being stupid, just cant figure it out :(

@Nikitaf93 You're welcome! Hope it helped you :p

woah that was a quick reply, anyways thanks!!

@Nikitaf93 You have to tweak the chances of each weapon in the list in a way that the first one has a lower chance (<100%) than the last one (which should be 100% unless you want the possibility to not spawn) because they get evaluated from the top to the bottom.

how do i make it random??? i added multiple weapons and nothing changes

Thanks for the consideration

Hey @2den2, I've just opened an issue on the github repository about that: https://github.com/Guthen/VKXToolsEntitySpawner/issues/11 . I can't promise working on it anytime soon tho.

hey by the way, is it possible to make this addon compatible with Zbase?
I tried to spawn several npcs from Black Mesa addons, none appeared

@FrostbitTe You're welcome :)

nice, thanks so much

@FrostbitTe Yes, it does both on dedicated servers and singleplayer games

permanent saving works on dedicated servers?

nevermind figured it out

Is there a way to make the selection menu wider? I can't see the names of my entities

@JustNicko No, it hasn't been implemented yet

can you somehow choose the weapon npcs will spawn with?

@Taho Costa Haha, merci :)
