[RELEASE] Help NPC

[Snuff_]

Tired of seeing "Admin how do I play?", "Admin to me, how to be gangster" spammed in admin chat? The Help NPC is a great answer to the questions of new players. Rather than requiring an admin to teach the basics to every new player that joins, this NPC does the job itself. A small but nice addition to any server. [B]Yes, I know this is basic. But, it's a free release, you can use it as you please.[/B]

- Choose the number of questions to use, from 1 to 6.

- Every single question and answer is customisable to your liking.

[B]Installation[/B]

4. Restart your server and spawn the NPC from Entities>Other>Help NPC
5. To save the NPC, use the [Perma Prop]([url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=220336312[/url]) tool (command coming soon)
6. Finished! Your players can now use the NPC

[B]CHANGING MODEL[/B]

If you would like to change the model of the NPC, you can do so in help_npc>lua>entities>helpnpc_npc>init.lua

[B]Support[/B]

As this is a free release, I do not offer support. However, if there is something you REALLY need to ask, add me on Steam ([url]www.steamcommunity.com/id/shaunthehuman[/url])

[B]Notice[/B]

As with all NPC based addons, playermodels will not work for the NPC model. They will be T Posed, not animated.

Since you seem to be new here, I would suggest using github instead of mediafire or some other direct link.

Oh okay. Why do you suggest that?

[QUOTE=Snuff_;51241150]Oh okay. Why do you suggest that?[/QUOTE]
Because mediafire is rubbish and we can actually see what we are downloading from github plus other advanced options.

Now available for download on GitHub, as per request.

You mean that GTA V Radar?
That is a paid addon

[It's A Joke]

Nice work, happy to see some free content coming out!

Not sure why this comment has been marked as dumb, it's correct. The radar is a part of the GTA V HUD from Scriptfodder.

Adding hunger support by a vertical bar on the right/ left of the main hud?

[QUOTE=YoutoYokodera;51291905]Adding hunger support by a vertical bar on the right/ left of the main hud?[/QUOTE]

Hunger will be placed at the bottom of the small dark square that the playermodel is inside. So, it will overlap it at the bottom. Not sure if that makes sense to you but you'll see it soon.
