can you maybe make a size option? would prob be really hard tho

actually thats probably really easy, ill add it soon. note that it wont resize the collisions only the visual model, but you could just set another larger collision model

might be a bit too ambitious, but it'd be neat if the workers could lay eggs in ragdolls which are near the nest which can release a couple of new worker/normal bugs.

also a cool addition would be having the props that make up a nest have a more earthy texture when they have been marked.

like the idea of the earthy texture, ill think about it tmr

i got another suggestion, since the bugs sorta act like termites, it'd be cool that after a certain amount of props have been collected, a small mound can arise from the centre point of the next which can be destroyed to stop the spawning of the soldier bugs

it would be cool if there could be a way to make the normal bugs ignore you

Is this addon incompatible with anything? Whenever I try to place a bug I just get this error: [BUG SWARMS] lua/entities/bug/init.lua:33: attempt to index a nil value

try reinstalling the addon, or like you said check for an addon that could be incompatible.

You were right, I redownloaded it and it worked fine. Thanks!

glad it works!

Good stuff. Can you make it so that they can ignore players? It doesn't respond to ignore players option being checked on.

i tried adding it but it just doesnt like me, its different than a normal npc for various reasons so its a bit more confusing to do that. ill consider re-attempting it sometime but i cant guarantee ill add it

a option to make the bugs use a boid ai to fly together in groups like actual swarms of bugs

this setting could be customizable such as how many bugs fly together, if there can be multiple groups of bugs all together, and how close or far apart they would be when flying

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqtqltqcQhw

probably would be really hard to implement but it would be cool to see actual swarms attacking props and npcs!


and another thing is maybe a setting where they are able to """"eat""""" props

when they want to eat a prop some bugs will land and stick onto a prop then it will disappear kinda like real bugs maybe they can fly in a swarm and cover the object when eating

the final option is webbing.
basically this makes them shoot the white strings they use to carry objects into a web like shape in dark areas of maps npcs will get stuck and will alert bugs to their location like a real spider how when stuck will feel vibrations

they could also put props in their and kinda stick them together to form nests instead of just weakly throwing them together maybe they could actually show them making nests!

obviously they sound hard to impliment but it would be neat if they actually act like bugs in the real world like making webs and nests of props stuck together in dark areas

feel free to comment on what u think of my ideas lol

also make them able to ignore you because i would want to see them building nests :)
