VJ is better

I'm not a fan of SNPCs, in particular nextbots, so I don't intend to do anything like this. Now admittedly I never delved into them that much, but I did play around a couple of years ago with making an exact nextbot replica of the Zombine and it seemed very limited, you just couldn't do the same things in Gmod's lua scripting framework as the original HL2 devs could do in the game's base C++ code. The only value I see in lua based SNPCs is to create NPCs with entirely new behaviour, like monsters, tanks etc, which isn't something this mod should do.
