would love a pre-alyx version, maybe the model from survivor and it can only place sentries and hoppers

Tha Engineer's a bloody spy!

that engineer's a spy!

Dispenser?

would be funny if it could build multiple nests

Because i would be interested in downloading if so

can the engineer fix sheilds scanners and anything thats tech?

Yeah, they get stuck and just stand in front of it most of the time.

@meierhans If it is still breaking navigation, yeah I can look into that. VJ base npcs seem to be fine. Unsure why base ones are having problems with it.

Love this NPC, as I do all the other ones you released. Such quality work! Keep on goin!

I use it to replace (by chance) regular combine soldiers, and this works like a charme. Yet, the problem @Nateuddd mentioned also applies for me. Possible NPCs are able to walk trough the barricade, but they won´t do. Could you make it despawn after 60 sec´s, so it does not break maps?

is this from half life 2: survivor?

i wish he didnt have ordinal markings, would look better imo.

engineer tf2 vs engineer hl2

it has no sounds

weird, it might be a problem with the map. ill try it out again today to see

@Nateuddd Npcs should be able to walk through the shield.

anyway to edit the amount of health the energy barricade has? or a way to make it go away with time? when npc's push alone against this guy, once he dies the barricade just sits there and they can get stuck not finding a way to go.

"Building, a sentry."

damn, I wish mods like this worked with red vs blu

"SENTRY GOING UP!"
c-(engineer 2008)

@Zack I am happy keeping this guy how he is, I appreciate the suggestion though

read the comments i left on the hev soldier addon for more context

change the skin
make it look more like the resurgence combine engineer but more... combiney

Gotta move that gear up

@LennySmash I did not hook its damage into the VJ base difficulty system, but that is a good idea I can try applying.

is there a way to buff the turret damage ? because vj base difficulty settings doesn't change its damage

need a sentry here

so its like the engineer but it actually takes control of the turret

noiceeee

@BananaThief985 A similar idea I had, I have not started on a prototype yet, is the Combine Gunner Team which would be two npcs responsible for setting up and manning an encampment gun.

suggestion: combine machine gunner (a npc that mounts the enplacement gun) you dont have to but just a simple suggestion

@Padeukou No, going straight to Half Fortress 3 since Valve never will.

Half-Fortress 2 when

So it's an extra handy Combine Ordinal, huh?
Neat.

Liking these combine specialists

@Spongy Sponge @RICKbrick Pushed fix, should be working now

@Spongy Sponge I can see if I can get a fix out for that real quick

i think new update of vj base caused this bug

here is an error

[VJ Base] lua/vj_base/funcs.lua:872: attempt to call method 'GetEnemy' (a nil value)
1. CalculateProjectile - lua/vj_base/funcs.lua:872
2. CustomOnThink - lua/entities/obj_vj_smart_bullet.lua:107
3. OnThink - lua/entities/obj_vj_projectile_base/init.lua:157
4. unknown - lua/entities/obj_vj_projectile_base/init.lua:173


the smart bullets stay still mid air, and when i touch them they "hit" me dealing damage.

need a dispenser here

@Autumnis I had problems with the vanilla turret but I can see what I can do about the shield blocking pathing

also, would it perhaps be possible to make the engineer place a normal vanilla hl2 turret? the vj base turret is unable to be affected by physics

npcs can't walk through the barriers, making it so engineers can very easily completely block off areas as other npcs don't know to shoot the barriers

"building a sentry" ahh combine

yes its fixed!!! thanks

@f2p I though I included that texture, its been a pain in my butt. As e quick fix, if I remember correctly, mounting/installing and unmounting/uninstalling HL2 Episode 2 should fix the issue. Sorry about that, this issue keeps coming back up every time I think I fixed it.

@rycch part of it its near the handle the diagonal pipe thing on the gun stock

@f2p The whole weapon or just part of it?

missing texture on their weapon
