The NPC You CAN'T Get Away From.. | Garry's Mod 

Did NOT expect this kind of success on this video! Thank you all so much!

Imagine putting him in an infinite map. You go as far as possible, then put the speed on max and see how long it takes him to reach you.

"NPC you cant get away from" spends 3 minutes showing it struggle to get up every obstacle

If I remember correctly you need to restart the map after you've generated a mesh. Otherwise it won't take effect.

I believe you need to regenerate/save with the changes i recommend using nav_walkable and nav_generate. The tool uses all console commands so id check valves wiki on it. The developer wiki should be super useful for yourself

The creator should add a feature that is a last resort, it will use noclip if it cant find path to you within 12 mins. (Why its twelve minutes is because i dont want it to be too long but i dont want it to be too overpowered either. Edit 2: you should just make it customizable)

5:33 As someone who has worked with nav_meshes in order to get TF2 Bots to function on certain maps, this particular instance of failed nav_mesh generation I actually know how to fix! Those blue lines are connectors, much like the cyan lines. However, these connectors are one-way connectors, where as the cyan ones are two-way. The reason the bot isn't jumping here is because of these one-way lines. They connect the upper level to the lower level, but not the other way around, hence why it's not jumping. You can even infer this is the case because you can actually see two-way connectors on the sides of the bottom level of the structure, but not the front, and the bot only jumps up when it's at the left or right of the platform. All you have to do is change those one-way connectors to two-way connectors, and you're set!

Am I the only one that noticed The ladder from the MMM video is still there 💀

I swear I had a dream about an NPC similar to this one once... only the one in my dream could also noclip like the player... and the game was super laggy for some reason. I need to go outside more. 🍝

2:26 I like how the ladder is still there

it's just a nextbot. it's literally just a nextbot.

He's fast as Male07 nextbot, In flash time they look like they run at normal speed

Doesn't look like anyone answered the question, so I think I can add some help. The reason the NPC can't climb up ladders that aren't already there is because there's no actual navigation mesh at the top for it to connect to. You'd have to also manually add that in yourself. Imagine that there's two floors, and a ladder connecting them. If there's also a staircase connecting the two floors, then when you generate that ladder (which nav_generate doesn't even do in the first place which is stupid) it should theoretically work. Since there's no connection between the top and bottom floor besides that ladder, there won't be a nav mesh in the first place to connect both ends to.

4:30 haven't used this AI before but unless you save and reload the nav_mesh bots will not recognize changes. 5:00 also red is just the standard color and has no meaning behind it... Someone at VALVe just liked the color red. 5:30 you will notice that the dark blue line is depicting a one-directional link. Meaning in his eyes he can't jump up the tower higher as he can only drop down. (Only reason he jumps up the first one is because one of the sides is light blue meaning bi-directional).

Have you checked the mesh at the top of the ladder? So right after the ladder there should be a navigation block that is connected to the ladder mesh. Do let me know if it works or not, and great job on the video! EDIT: The reason why it doesn't work could also be linked to how wide the navigation mesh is(this is probably false but it's worth a shot), meaning if the NPC thinks that it cannot stand on the said platform because the mesh is too tiny, it wouldn't be able to jump on to the platform. Again, this is me assuming things and I'm just listing possible solutions(i program AI, just not in gmod) 😅

I like how this nextbot type npc plays by the players rules, where it has to run crouch or jump up and climb

OMG, combine this with Background npcs, and maybe decent vehicle, and you have a terminator situation. Imagine being in a city map, surrounded by citizens and one of them is after you. It could only be made better if you could spawn it in a random spot with a random model.

This is like the final evolution of the Sanic clone.

Really good mods showcases, love this channel

awesome as always necros!

Imagine this bot with a nav mesh that covered like walls and columns and stuff like that (the stuff he showed that didn't have a nav mesh) and a parkour mod or something like that so you're running and you just see the bot mirror's edge at you

once you edited the navigation mesh with the navmesh editor tool always press save navmesh, the button is located at the bottom

This must be a dream. Necros reviewed my addon!

i remember watching your toybox review videos in 2013-14 good times

Somehow even worse than a regular nextbot, it doesn't jump or have any different pathing it just goes for the straighest line toward you shoving props across the map if they get in the way, it even teleports around if it gets stuck. I was really hoping it could at least scale walls like l4d commons edit: checking it myself the bot can't even kill you if you run in a straight line if you set the speed to anything under ''instantly kills you when you spawn''

the snail pace, is literally the "you are immortal but the momeent the snail touches you youre dead"

I feel like that broken ladder has just become part of your construct now you should keep it for the memes

Giving him spider man abilities like climbing, web slinging might be able to get him anywhere but might have problems like you said in the vid

Late but these tutorials are massively helpful and I’m looking forward to getting a computer toward in the future however I’m still limited to just an ipad sooooooo

I’ve always liked how you put every mod you used in the description You like a map you see? Bam, it’s in the description See a weapon you like? Also in the description

I love the vids Necro

the gmod version of Something wicked this way comes

This Nextbot reminds me of the god nextbot Sanic. I love SaNiC :) Also thanks for uploading these videos, you taught me and my friends a bunch of Addons we didn’t know:)

It's like a defenitive version of all nextbots.

If only it was a friendly campaign NPC that finally follows you accuratly

Imagine you on the toilet and then the npc comes out of no where and beats you to death while you are taking a massive dump

this makes me want to look into the capabilities of navmeshes

“Freeman ammo! Here take this medkit!”

Finally, a NexBot that isn't a goddamn Obunga jpeg.

5:00 red doesnt mean that navmesh is broken, its just un-selected navmesh areas

i like how he says "Yeets it"

You need still to open console and nav_generate after using the tool if I remember correctly

With ladder, have you tried holding alt when clicking?

This is kinda like a game version of "It Follows"

I am more looking of NPCs tools that can kick and punches like they have sweps on.

This npc make me remember the monster of the movie "it follows" very scary

W Necros For Covering this!

at least he showed us how to change the pm

imagine the killer pursuer cant be despawned

i have a problem with this mod, and its that every model i put into the model changer even if its a game i have it all ways shows an error

Check out the bloop npc. Also check out the orange box playermodel

if somebody changed its model to freddy fazbear it would be that one meme where a bear chases somebody down a hallway

ravenholm has ladder meshes for fast zombies so it should work!

So basically a nextbot with a 3d model.

wait, i just installed gmod and this "randomly" popped up in my recommendeds?

This NPC reminds me of Richard, oh Richard, you freaky scientist

I know I'm late, but it should definitely be given a jump similar to that of nextbots, allowing it to get to any height.

You could make a realistic terminator mod out of this.

i like how he says its rude to kill him to the npc

bro made a nextbot and tries to brand it as something new 💀 If he never heard of them before and this is brand new to him then my bad

you should try out the killer demon (DRG BASE)

should find an immovable object mod or weld something into the ground. then we'll have the answer to what wins when there is an immovable object vs an unstoppable force

Hell yea

3:38 Was that edit intentional lol? Really cool how the beat dropped there.

Do this but change the model to the snail and make its speed super extremely slow

They should make a snail thats immortal and it never dies

Hey I need some help i am getting error while Spawning addons Npc.." sorry you cant spawn that npc" any solution?

what was the tool that makes the navmesh??

2:15 This part got me laugh

"If you move SLOWER than my running speed you are g one"

Necro should do a video on Half-Life 2 Customizable HUD it’s a cool mod from what I’ve tested with it

does this work with anymodel. can i make it a strider

i found a way to escape the npc so basically you just have to equip the "remove" tool

Name of the mod to generate a mesh for ladders ?

so... nextbot v2?

"it has infinite health" me with the no fuck off swep:i see this as an easy win.

why not just use the l4d2 snpc base? lol, much more smoth and attack anim would be alot sicker

Bruh basic obunga can already get from anywhere, although the jumps are a bit weird

thinkin bout the dr hax snpc who you couldnt even remove with the console

can't wait to have a heavy chase me in the backrooms

Lol, this is just like the movie "it follows"

bro invented nextbot 💀

IT WORKS WHEN THE NPC OPTION IGNORE IS ON

What is different between this type of NPC and png nextbots?

ladder still there lol

Its homin time

Odessa!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

But does he stand a chance against the ultimate admin gun?

Well, at least it's not a png

Change it to anything you say? How about something Wicked from ultrakill

Hey does anybody know why simfphys is missing?

reminds me of nemesis

Day 4 showcase new horror snpcs npc

I can imagine people making it Shrek or in my case Justin Bieber cause for some reason I find that idea funny XD

SCP-096 "The Shy Guy"

What would happen if you did the Saitama fists mod?

great editing 2:15

Oh man U CAN ISE CUSTOM MODELS!!

If Its GMAN Then Im Really Dead

Try this npc on never lose hope hospital
