New NPC Spawner

[Guac]

Name: Guac

RP Rank: BCMD

Suggestion: Use this new NPC spawner

Implementation: I was browsing the workshop when I spotted this gem. A near fully customizable NPC spawner, seems as though this could unironically revolutionize the manner in which people can and will GM. While I do not believe this should replace the current NPC spawner, I think it would be an incredibly useful tool to be added!
 

FEATURES:

Spawn big amount of NPCs effectively by placing areas

Increase/decrease grid spread size and randomness simply by scrolling the mouse wheel

Change NPC spawn angle

Procedural NPC spawn that not sacrifices server performance

Default gmod preset system to make experience simpler

Respawn feature allows to make constant source of NPC flow

CONFIGURATIONS:

Weapon

Proficiency (including random)

Custom Model (if customization needed)

Squad (for advanced users)

Model Skin (including random)

Start and Maximum Health

Notarget (spawner or all players)

Immobility (NPCs can't move)

Spawn Flags (for advanced users)

Additional Spawn Flags (specific for citizens, roller mines and turret floors)

Lore: uhhhhhhh when a mother and father love eachother very much.

From what I understand Maxwells is working on a new NPC base. I don't know when it'll come out, but this might work in the meantime! +1

I can already see some low iq staff member managing to crash the server by engulfing courtyard with NPCs with the click of one button.

Do you know what spawn flags there are for the NPC tool? I know that NPC Tools 2 has a NPC spawn creator tool that allows you to use edit spawn flags on npcs to edit their effective range and Aggro settings. 
 

would these spawn flags be similiar?

When I checked yes. It was range of attack and range of Agro I believe?

alright yeah fat +1 cuz having those spawn flags would completely change the game alone on spawning npcs with dynamic settings. I could write a 3 page essay on how much aggro and targetting distance settings alone can change the experience of an event, and thats not even including the other features a spawner like this would add.

oh my lord yes. Assuming this doesnt have a lag issue or some shit, this would be absolutely amazing

[Rickle]

+1 Just wait till someone selects the whole map
