good addon
add a menu plz because i dont want to use console

might actually attempt to fix this, @血月建筑师流星
what map does it break on

The mod is completely ineffective on some maps

add zombies pls

Thank you

yes
but it will break their scripts more likely

Does this affect map and script spawned npc's too?

does this work with saves

is there something similar but without a randomizer?

BRO THANK U SO MUCH DUDEEEEEEEEEE!!!

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ i figured how to make it so it doesnt affect the combine only the metropolice and citizens

Probably related to both ModdedFries' problem and mine.

pretty much
is the addon completely defunct or what? i can try attempting to fix things if so

is this ♥♥♥♥ discontinued?

I've had the opposite problem to where they spawn into the ground, for me the height offset helps but only to the point that they're not in a small area otherwise they're in the ceiling xd.
As far as hovering goes, I do see that but only while I have their thinking disabled, once it's enabled they go onto the ground(unless they're inside it, in which they will stay in the ground). That's just my experience though

The biggest problem with this is that the replaced models make the NPCs hover above the ground, and the "Height offset" option doesn't do anything. It is not a problem with the models, either, because if I use the dedicated NPCs with the models they appear fine; it is only when this randomizer works that it affects them this way.

version for playermodel?

Will be there a way to randomize the chances of custom NPC's so they have a percent chance to spawn?

How do i deselect certain models from being used in randomization? I tried doing it in the GUI, made a preset, saved it, yet it doesnt make a difference as every model i have is still used in randomization, even if theyre deselected

Will there be an update where it randomizes main hl2 characters such as Alyx, Barney, Kleiner etc?

main character? please?

i dont mean to be that guy that requests for addons, but by any chance - is there a possibility for something similar to this, except with weapons? like, so when NPCs spawn they have a random weapon from the list?

its a minor thing, but i dont think ive seen something like that on the workshop before

thanks, was using this metropolice force mod that had a couple variants but it would always just stay as the default one, it should work now.

yes, you need npc addons that use metropolice as a base

for some reason no metrocop skins show up despite having skins for combine and rebels

okie dokey sir frozy

yeah that's a quick addition but right now im busy
make a forum post so i'll easily remember it next time i'm free.

i still thinking having an option to choose what npcs you want the skin to randomize for is a good idea
For example: you make it so that a metrocop skin gets randomized but no one elses

yes this breaks npc scripts

really nice mod.
But I found that with this mod enabled, some of the AI like those in hl2 maps and some player made campaigns will not function normally. in most cases they just stand still until I attack or run up to them instead of do what they are designed to do.

I feel like this addon should have more than just "Pick a random model-profit"

For example, there are should be options of which Bodygroups do you want to activate or not, Nemez Metropolice has a really bad bodygroup which removes the... neck of the model and it's kind of the reason why I can't use it.

There should be more than just 3 NPCs. Some of them like Hunter, Alyx, Barney have handful of models.

This addon should also pick models that have respective animations rather than picking them in thier NPC Tab or alternatively, If there's not a model that we want to choose make a tab where you can find a model to randomize.

And lastly, There should be some kind of a sub-group like Citizens-Refugees-Rebels-Medics and not just all in one so that the HL2 Maps can be... immersive?

of course not, that's not possible with just scripts lol

I assume this doesn't randomize the npc models themselves, you know having a rebel medic arm with a normal rebel body? I thought it was but its probably too ambitious to do that

npc_model_randomizer_bodygroups_random 1/0
npc_model_randomizer_skin_random 1/0

I have "npc_model_randomizer_chosen 1" and "npc_model_randomizer_combine_s 0" input into the console and it still randomizes their bodygroups and skins. The model is the same which is good, but I guess I still don't understand.

oh ok it only works if you do npc_model_randomizer_chosen 1

i will check it out

Is this the command? "npc_model_randomizer_combine_s 0" I've been looking and this looks like what you're talking about. If so, it doesn't work.

no
and read console commands
turn off skin random and bodygroups random

add npcs type like combine shotgun and elite because this addon messed up their skin

hey how do i make it so only combine soldiers dont get randomized

yes

I've looked through the commands list in the description and in game but I just want to make sure; is there a way to disable randomized skins for only 1 npc type? Example: I can disable random skins for combine soldiers, but not for metropolice.

Is there a way to add ragdolls or playermodels to this?

no

is there a way to make certain bodygroups unchangeable?

try reading the description it may or may not help

Is there a way for metrocops skin to be random but not combine?

turn off bodygroups_random and or skin_random

How do i stop combine turning to shotgunners when they arent?
