Is there a solution for NPC VJs not shooting at animated models?

@DJ VC™
that's an issue with steam itself, nothing i can do about it. after a bit of research, it looks like the problem might just fix itself if you wait long enough for steam to fix the problem on their end? try again tomorrow, maybe.

@Alexandergregory03
could you upload a save that causes this issue, and post a link to it in the bug reports thread?

Your addon failed to download, please do something about it

Your addon failed to download, please do something about it

Whenever I load a save with multiple TF2 characters paused mid-animation, one of them will start doing the gesture_help animation despite it not being the selected animation nor is it selected n the layers.

this pairs really well with actmod

LambdaPlayers attack the animated props as if they are hostile... might be because i have Global Aggro on ill see if turning it off changes anything, Amazing mod tho i love it

add some animation editor for custom animation and also like happen to add like when making custom animations adding like a custom model compatibility and model manipulator compatible

can't kill an animated prop when it's on ragdoll on damage

would it be possible to add a animation editor so you could have custom animations for model?

@spookbama
you can set the convar sbox_maxanimprops in the console, or open the spawnmenu and go to Utilities > Admin > Sandbox Settings to control it with a slider.

more a few people have asked this now, so into the faq it goes

How do I increase the animated prop limit? Because it keeps displaying that message when I try to animate something?

@ollie
yeah, prop_animated is from this addon, but compositeentities appears to be the composite bone tool addon, which looks like it overrides a default gmod function related to the crash.

these kinds of things can be false positives sometimes, but see if disabling that addon prevents the crash, it can't hurt to check.

prop_animated.lua might be something else but Idk

keeps crashing my friends games </3

Update on that on that, upon disabling everything except Animated Props, it works. So there's definitely a confliction somewhere.

Update on that, they don't become invisible, they seemingly cease to exist (they can't be interacted with via the physics gun, tool gun, or anything), and return upon reverting them, and even still are ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up in some way.

@Jackson Desorcy

Yeah I've been having the same problem. And for some reason, upon reverting it from an animated prop back into a ragdoll, it stops responding to the despawn command. (Z press)

Something is wrong with mine. When I convert something to an animated prop, they keep turning invisble.

Hey, the window Don't open :/

VJ Base npcs are scared of the animated props

The true citizen likes this mod.

Is it possible to make a model's face move/have a face expression during the animation? For example - have Demoman's face actually laugh during the laugh taunt and not be just a blank face

can u make npcs ignore it

We do we get the Kazotsky Kick???? PWEASE!!

I'm having an issue that might be caused by a conflicting addon, but for some reason when I turn ragdolls into animated props and grab them with the phys gun they bug out and return to ragdoll form, and this didn't happen before until recently so im unsure if its something I got that is causing the problem or what, I haven't found what could be causing it

nvm

Is there a way to make the animated props do act dance?

YES I NEED IT NOW RIGH- oh wait I got it. already

@Freebar, @Smak
the animated prop limit is for multiplayer servers, so that players can't spam a hundred of the things and tank everyone's fps. the convar for it is "sbox_maxanimprops", but there should be a slider for it in the admin menu alongside all the standard sandbox limits.

is there a way to turn up or remove the limit?

most of the TF2 animations just break and makes the character go into A pose, is this a bug or do I need to disable a addon

Can you make disable the limit of layers

can you please remove the Animated Prop limit? what is it even for?

ok found the issue, Npc Physical mod breaks this addon, maybe you should take a look at it and see what's causing it

hmmm, I’ll try disabling addons one by one to see what’s causing this, thanks for the help anyways

Hi, I have such a problem. When I create a server to play with a friend, when I use your mod, the podels become invisible, but when I go to solitary, everything is fine. What should I do about it?

@Kepler
that's definitely not supposed to happen, but i can't get it to occur on my end, so it seems like an issue on your side, most likely a bad interaction with another addon you have installed.


@Scottish Engineer
the easiest way i've found to sync up two props' animations is to use the duplicator to spawn them both at the same time.

no matter what I try to do, converting ragdolls to animated props just doesn't work no matter what I do, when I try to do it on npcs it kills them without anything happening, and the only thing so far that actually works are (surprise surprise) props...yes. is it an issue from my side or did something break

is there a way to attach 2 animated props together and have them sync up? such as the engineer and his rancho relaxo or nah?

@WORLDS BEST SK8ER!
the convar is called "sbox_maxanimprops", but it should be there in the admin menu with all the other limit sliders

@Ollie
try searching for animations with "russian" in the name

is there any way to increase the limit for animated props in multiplayer servers?

for some reason the kazotsky kick is not listed in any of the TF2 mercs

VJ Base NPCs and ZBase NPCs

@Atrick21
they aren't intended to do that at all, what npcs are you having this issue with?

Is it possible to make it so that NPCs don't target the animated props? or atleast add some form of context menu option?

im going to create a animation for my friend youtube channel
