What is the TF2 Ghost NPC?

[hellothere231]

Recently, I was playing Garry's Mod, but I found a tab named TF2. Out of curiosity, I clicked it and spawned the NPC from it. It's just Mossman, sitting down and standing up, until you kill it.

Strange. Has anyone else seen it?

Its an entity Garry used to test the new Nextbot stuff.

But I have no idea why he named the category TF2. :v:

[hellothere231]

I think he named it that because TF2 uses the nextbot stuff for the bot AI. Could this mean we might have TF2 NPCs?

I found it weird, next thing Mossman was there, then the entity just disappeared!

Impossible, nothing in the code for the entity allows it to disappear. It simply walks somewhere random, and proceeds to play the "go with Alyx" scene. There is a portion where the nextbot is supposed to hide from the player and, when found, cower and say "watch out!" but I have yet to see this work functionally.

who would write a creepypasta about this:

[lua]AddCSLuaFile()

ENT.Base = "base_nextbot"
ENT.Spawnable = true

function ENT:Initialize()

--self:SetModel( "models/props_halloween/ghost_no_hat.mdl" );
--self:SetModel( "models/props_wasteland/controlroom_filecabinet002a.mdl" );
self:SetModel( "models/mossman.mdl" );

end

function ENT:BehaveAct()

end

function ENT:RunBehaviour()

while ( true ) do

-- walk somewhere random
self:StartActivity( ACT_WALK ) -- walk anims
self.loco:SetDesiredSpeed( 100 ) -- walk speeds
self:MoveToPos( self:GetPos() + Vector( math.Rand( -1, 1 ), math.Rand( -1, 1 ), 0 ) * 200 ) -- walk to a random place within about 200 units (yielding)

self:StartActivity( ACT_IDLE ) -- revert to idle activity

self:PlaySequenceAndWait( "idle_to_sit_ground" ) -- Sit on the floor
self:SetSequence( "sit_ground" ) -- Stay sitting
coroutine.wait( self:PlayScene( "scenes/eli_lab/mo_gowithalyx01.vcd" ) ) -- play a scene and wait for it to finish before progressing
self:PlaySequenceAndWait( "sit_ground_to_idle" ) -- Get up

-- find the furthest away hiding spot
local pos = self:FindSpot( "random", { type = 'hiding', radius = 5000 } )

-- if the position is valid
if ( pos ) then
self:StartActivity( ACT_RUN ) -- run anim
self.loco:SetDesiredSpeed( 200 ) -- run speed
self:PlayScene( "scenes/npc/female01/watchout.vcd" ) -- shout something while we run just for a laugh
self:MoveToPos( pos ) -- move to position (yielding)
self:PlaySequenceAndWait( "fear_reaction" ) -- play a fear animation
self:StartActivity( ACT_IDLE ) -- when we finished, go into the idle anim
else

-- some activity to signify that we didn't find shit

end

coroutine.yield()

end

end

--
-- List the NPC as spawnable
--
list.Set( "NPC", "npc_tf2_ghost", { Name = "TF2 Ghost",
Class = "npc_tf2_ghost",
Category = "TF2"
})
[/lua]

[quote]The corpse turned out to be S', brutally mangled, it barely even looked like a body. The head was missing, and the model's skin was torn apart. There were gibs all over the area around the corpse.[/quote]

Because Source is TOTALLY that realistic.

Dismemberment mods, skin changes, it's possible.

But still, it's not scary.

That TF2 Ghosts creepypasta article is just as stupid as the one about someone meeting Slenderman in real life.
