Working Combine Dropship NPCs

Well this took a good long while to make.

After months of on and off work it is finally done.

OPERATIONAL Combine Dropships.

**

Dropships (should) now work on ALL maps **

** Recommended to spawn it in a wide open area. **

If you are having an issue with getting the dropship to deploy, try spawning an NPC for it to target.

This Mod Includes :

• 10 NPCs

The Enemy MUST be on the GROUND for the Dropships to Fly to their landing spot and land!

• Each NPC carries a different type of Combine Soldier(s).

• Located in the "Combine Dropships" Category on the NPC Section of the Spawn Menu

• Dropships can be killed with the RPG.

• Citizen NPCs will shoot at the Dropship if they have an RPG as their weapon.

• Will create a ragdoll of the NPC on death. ( With some explosions, of course )

• After Deploying all Troops (or Strider), the dropship will fly away towards the edge of the map.

• If the dropship reaches the end of the map it will despawn to represent that it has "escaped" or "left the area".

• When dropship detects an enemy, it will choose a random spot in front of the enemy to deploy.

• Once deployed the dropship leaves the crate and the Soldiers start deploying.

• Soldiers deploy every 3 seconds.

• Soldiers form a formation when deploying from the dropships.

• Soldiers spawn in Squads.

• Soldier Patrol after all Soldiers have deployed from the crate if they didn't find an enemy during the process.

• Deploying Metrocops and Combine Soldiers can't take damage when performing the Deployment Sequence.

• There is are Easter Eggs in the console for when a Dropship leaves the map.
