[QUOTE=Devenger][b]New version:[/b] more extra features than you can shake a stick at! Includes NPC squad options, removal of console spam, and the ability to bind Turn On/Turn Off to numpad keys! (and some other stuff) - see the screenshots for the new menu layout (now requires some scrolling because of the mamount of options).
Now I'm ging to bed - if the new version is too buggy just use the old version or whatever.[/QUOTE]
Next version can you add an undo option?
My games are quickly filling up with ragdolls (that can't be cleaned) :x anyway to automatically unspawn ragdolls when they die? Thanks for this though, I love it!

That what you looking for?
I'm finding it hard keeping players under control with the npc spawners on my server. They generally flood my server with spawners until it crashes. Can you make this admin only with a toggle option?
I've had to remove it until i can have some kind of control.

I wouldn't have suggested allowing the tool to be used on multiplayer servers, partially because of how badly NPCs generally perform online, but largely because of that exact point. I'll make a little admin security, although I won't have a full-blown release for it (I'll just provide some code to suffix the STOOL code with).
That's fine, just a little bit of admin is fine. I find that 4 spawners with 5 each is more than enough for most senarios espically on CSCDesert and it doesn't lag the server. However you can imagine coming online to find over 100 zombies created by idiot players is generally not a good thing (espically when combined with zombie invasion lua)
Well to stop other players from using this tool I made the admin spawnable/player spawnable fixed. But it doesn't work, please fix.
noob question:
Where do I put this once downloaded?

somebody please help me!

I thought I'd updated the garrysmod.org file description to say this. You should extract the contents of the .zip file to "garrysmod/garrysmod/addons". The addon should then be installed the next time you open GMod - you can check what addons you have installed by pressing "MODS/ADDONS" on the main menu of Garry's Mod; if the STOOL has been extracted correctly you should see as an entry "STOOL: NPC Spawn Platforms 1.0" (I forgot to update the version number, "whoops").
Once the addon is properly extracted the STOOL will appear in your STOOL selection menu.
Any luck with making the STOOL admin only? Or perhaps even just the code to insert and i can do it manually...
Very well done man, This will be very useful. Downloaded and a Lua King for you.

I'm sorry, I've been distracted recently. This isn't very pretty, it has the wrong icon come up on the hint, no sound, etc. but I'm too tired to correct it - it works though. In addons/stool_npcspawner/lua/weapons/gmod_tool/stools/npcspawner.lua, place this at the start of the TOOL:LeftClick function (I have this as being about line 105):
[lua]if !self:GetOwner():IsAdmin() then
if CLIENT then
GAMEMODE:AddNotify("Need to be an admin to use this STOOL!", NOTIFY_HINT, 5)
else
if self:GetOwner():IsListenServerHost() then
self:GetOwner():SendLua("GAMEMODE:AddNotify(\"Need to be an admin to use this STOOL!\", NOTIFY_HINT, 5)")
end
end
return
end[/lua]
Thank you!
Is it possible to make the NPC Spawn Platform obey the NPC limit? I made the NPC Spawn Platform admin-only, but I don't want to spoil the fun for the good players.
The website is down, and I don't see a link on your post. New host?
no idea, i can't find a link to download myself.
Added an URL link as well as having the clickable image link.
Thanks
Works perfect, and the first one to go in addons folder and actually work for me :P
I liked the old NPC spawn platform, and this is even better. Gold star'd!
i don't know were to save it to because i don't have an addons folder
[QUOTE=jujmust22]i don't know were to save it to because i don't have an addons folder[/QUOTE]
Unless something has gone awfully wrong, you should have a folder you'll find as <username>/garrysmod/garrysmod/addons - this folder must be there if you have any of the Counter-Strike content, the SENT bouncy ball, etc. - if the folder doesn't exist, something is wrong.
yer the folder doesn't exist
If it doesn't exist, you don't have version 10.
I know this is a pretty big bump, but i love this STOOL, has anyone got a fix for it?
Good idea, man!
So noone at all wants to fix this? I don't know LUA, or else i would in a heartbeat...
Hey, can you make the spawned NPC's nocollided with the spawner plate, and metrocops spawn with manhacks/soldiers with grenades?
You know what this addon needs npc teams blue and red npcs dishing it out :D
Unnecessary bump much?
