Combine Camera NPC Angry

[8bitMafia]

I'm curious as to if there is a function to make an NPC angry, also is there a function to make the camera be angry at a particular player? I want to make a script where if a player is tagged then the camera goes off and flashes at them. The context menu option I used was "Make angry"

You can use

entity:Fire("SetAngry")

which will make the camera angry.

Unfortunately, there isn't a way to change the camera's current target, so you'll have to add an output to the camera NPC itself and maybe make another entity which handles the output.

entity:SetTarget (target)

I suppose the combine camera does obey that function, but that would make it one of very few. Most other NPCs seem to override any manual targeting.

Yeah, and I was looking to hook on to one of the NPC's outputs so I can actually figure out when to fire the SetAngry, and also it is important to figure out the player that caused it to fire. So I did a little research and either I'm going to use the functions provided [URL="https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=990289&p=24290299&viewfull=1#post24290299"]here[/URL], which the _R.entity seems to be nil so I'm not sure what it is or I'm going to make a hammer entity and input things to it from each camera to hook onto with [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/ENTITY/AcceptInput"]this[/URL].

If you make your own entity and spawn the combine camera through that, you could do

self:SetName("camera" .. self:UniqueID())
self.npc:SetKeyValue("OnFoundPlayer", self:GetName() .. ",Scan")

and then later in your custom entity

	function ENT:AcceptInput(name, act, caller, data)
		if (name == "Scan") then
			if (IsValid(act)) then
				-- do something with the activator here
			end;
		end;
	end;

That's what I do in my CCTV plugin for HL2RP.
