After testing every addon I have installed, I figured out that this addon was what was causing my fps to crater from 60 to 2 whenever I had a bunch of npcs on the map.

Basically, the addon creates a new infinitely repeating timer for every npc that spawns that is constantly doing table actions and searching the entities list in every individual instance even when there are no tf2 bots on the map. The complexity is multiplied for every npc on the map until your fps is destroyed.

I have rewritten that part of the code into a think hook with a coroutine that doesn't need to run in every npc. i also noticed the code wasn't setting mvm bot relationships for citizens, but the way i coded this should fix all that

How to (Two ways to replace addon files):
a) Extract the whole addon (with anything that can, such as a steam workshop downloader) and place the addon folder into garrysmod/addons/ and then replace the relevant files in there.
Note: Linux and Mac users must rename addon folders placed in addons/ to all lowercase characters or they will not work.

b) Make a new file with the name of the file to replace, with the code in it, and place it in the garrysmod directory directly. In this case you would place it in garrysmod/lua/autorun/server/
You will have to make the directories in the lua folder if they don't exist.

edit: added onentitycreated hook
e2: minor edit
e3: added instructions and also took out some debug stuff i accidentally left in, woops
e4 oct22: replaced code block with link to correct code. brackets in code might have messed up the code block
