could you do a hexed mod? like one than dosen't replace anything?

it doesnt spawn

@v92

I just reinstalled the addon and got it set back up, and it suddenly works now.
I think I may have been unknowingly using the legacy version of Airwatch before, and that may have been causing issues somehow. I'm not sure.

I appreciate your assistance regardless.

@crod

Thought it was fairly obvious.

What the hell does it replace, the hunter chopper for airwatch? I just don't see any mentions of what it does replace.

@v92

Hey, sorry for literally not responding. Working on getting that screenshot for ya man. Promise

@adam

You mean like 90 degrees offset the wrong way? A screenshot would help me diagnose it. I tested it in HL2 & GMod and it was still working, so maybe it's another GMod-specific quirk. I can take a look at it, just need more info.

So I've got this issue where I believe the model isn't oriented the correct way on the entity, or something of that sort. The model is buggy, to put it simply. It works fine for the NPC, but the AirWatch entity is pretty messed up.

I'm not sure if this was an already discussed issue, but I did go back a few pages through the comments, and I think I saw mention of it, but it didn't appear to have much of a conclusion/solution. If you could possibly provide further context or explanation, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, and great replacement addons. Keep it up!

Thanks, it worked. Still a good addon, by the way

@whoatethemints

Try deleting the "cache" and "downloads" folders from inside your gmod folder.

I have recently uninstalled the addon, and now the default hunter chopper is invisible. Do you have any tips on how I could fix that?

@who

I have no plans to do that at this time.

Would you mind replacing the pilots with regular combine soldiers? The current design does not look very good to be honest

would be awesome if you made a hex

Oh alright, thank you for your time :D

Hell, the gib models themselves are hard-coded into the .cpp for the helicopter. I can't even change the locations of the large gib models themselves. I had to move the origins of the new gibs I made instead.

The code was really not meant to be edited. Trust me, I'm a "reasonable perfectionist" with my work. It bothers me a lot, but there's not much I could do about it. I figured having it out there - albeit a little derpy - was better than nothing at all.

@cinder

Related, yeah. If the replacement's angles don't match the vanilla model, that would cause it. The code expects the pitch/yaw/roll of the bones/attachments to be just right . The more you change it, the more noticeable the lack of accuracy.

The code uses the localized vector on the model. For example, if the original model's bones/attachments are in a right-handed Z-up orientation, and the replacement is in a left-handed Y-up orientation, it'll cause the gun to yaw when it's supposed to pitch, and the gun to to pitch when it tries to yaw.

Thing I noticed with the Hunter Chopper replacements is that whenever they do try to adjust they instead try aiming upward instead of downward


is this due to the same thing too?

@cinder

The aiming function is reliant on the size & location of the gun attachment on the vanilla model using some very wack trigonometry that the average user can't edit, as it's locked into compiled C++ binaries.

I spent a good chunk of time trying to find a workaround, but was unable to.

Also weird thing about a lot of Hunter Chopper replacements is that they have trouble aiming





basically they can't hit their enemies :)

Could you make a version with an Apache?


Something using the Apache BMS Model I guess

@funny man

Bro, read the description.

make it a LFS plz

@wess

Read the description.

can you add it instead of doing a replacement pls

also they dont have trouble shooting players

Hey the helicopter is having trouble shooting npcs they like being crazy


fix plz

Ok @V9K just asking

Model not Working, it just a hunter chopper with the custom sound of it.

@scp

It's not possible to do that.

but the hitbox are a bit hard to shoot at

Can you make so that when you shoot the combine they will die and the helicopter will go down

oh ok understandable

@cozak

Because the gibs are hard-coded in C++ and I can only replace certain models like the helicopter fuselage or tail boom.

ok then also why are there still heli gibs from the helicopter npc pls fix

@cozak

Not possible.

add some bodies too when they explode because that would be awesomme

This is neat!!
