NPC Spawning Guide

NPC Spawner Guide v1.1
by Soldier of Destiny
======================

====Info====
Bored of spawning Npcs because you only know commands like "spawn monster_gunner" ?
I searched the Quake 4 BaseFiles for days for new commands and now I give them to you!
Now love me, kiss me, thank me! xD

Only for help and questions! ---> [email protected]

====Installation====
Copy the commands you need from my config file and replace the old lines from your .cfg with my new ones (or edit your lines).

!!!!!!IMPORTANT!!!!!!
Remember to go to a large open area if you want to test things.
It's not very good to spawn tanks and big harvesters in small rooms...
Also remember, that everything will spawn in front of you, so you shouldn't stay in front of a wall.

====Commands====
Here are the new commands I found out.
You can easily find your needed entitiy by typing...
1)... "listentities" in the console
2)... "listactiveentities" in the console, if your entity is currecly active (better because the list is smaller)
3)... "listmonsters" in the console, if you need a specific monster
Use "listcmds" for all console commands.

spawn char_marine_npc_voss_airdefense - Armed Voss
spawn char_marine_npc_morris_airdefense - Armed Morris
spawn char_marine_npc_anderson_airdefense - Armed Anderson
spawn char_marine_npc_bidwell_airdefense - Armed Bidwell
spawn char_marine_npc_cortez_airdefense - Armed Cortez
flashlight 1 - Flashlight for Npcs weapon (and not only the machinegun and pistol!!!)
talks 1 - Let the Npc talk (battlechatter)
talk_turn 1 -
leader player1 - Npc follows player!!!
npc_name '...' - Name of the npc shown. Don't forget the ' '
def_head ... (char_marinehead_gen_white_4) (char_marinehead_helmet) ... - Select the head of the npc
override_head ... - Override helmet, recommend for Tech and Medic marines
npc_description '...' - The npc description, for example 'Rhino Squad'
def_persona ... (persona_marine_act1_5) - Select a npc persona. It's needed to change for example the voice of a soldier.
                                          If a soldier has a helmet (def_head) he should speak over his comlink (radiovoice). So you use "def_persona persona_marine_act1_1_helmet" for example.
health ... - Edit the npc health, recommend for heroes like Voss
healthregenenabled 1 - Healthregenration enabled, recommend for heroes like Voss
ammo ... - Edit the ammo number, example 40 or 80 is the standart for the machinegun.
minshots ... - Edit how many shots the npc has to fire min. , recommend if you want them to fire burst/auto/single (then also change maxshots!!!)
maxshots ... - Edit how many shots the nps has to fire max. , recommend if you don't wanna have a marine fire a full magazine like rambo...
tactical_rush 0/1 - Advance as close to the player as necessary (for example the Berserker has it)
tactical_ranged 0/1 - Stop at a valid attack range and remain there shooting
tactical_cover 0/1 - Take cover
tactical_hide 0/1 - Run away and hide if there is no way to attack enemy
team 0/1 - (0 = Npc is on your team, 1 = Npc is your enemy!) Now you can change stroggs to allies and marines to enemies. Warning: You can't shot Marines on close distance!
bleed 0/1 - Changes if the npc bleeds when hit. Now your marines can bleed when you hit'em, also when they're dead!
burnaway 0/1/2 - Should change if the dead npc burns away. Haven't tested yet.
