"Following the construction of the Halo Rings , Sentinels were built to serve as the first line of defense against Flood outbreak and external intrusion. The non-organic composition of the Sentinels allowed the Forerunners to battle the parasite without contributing to its numbers. Controlled by their own autonomous AI and their Installation's Monitor, Sentinels patrol the Halo rings and destroy anything deemed to be a threat."

With the release of the flood into Gmod, infestation has grown out of control. The sentinels need to purify this infestation before it gets any worse...

I've been working on this addon for a bit on and off, but school and work has been keeping me occupied and unable to dedicate as much time to finishing this as I wanted to. This is my "first" addon so cut me some slack. I tried to faithfully replicate a few things to make them feel like their halo 3 counterparts, but it's made with a lot of spaghetti code. There's also some leftover files that I will be using later and cleaning up, I just wanted to get this out there since I had this just kinda sitting on my computer, and hopefully people using it will give me more motivation to spend time on it. I still have some stuff planned in general that, perhaps when I get better at addon creation, I will perhaps get to such as

• Illumination on eyes of all sentinels

• More sentinel variants - Halo CE & 2 Anniversary - Halo Wars 2 - Retriever if possible eventually

• Unique models for all variants that are missing it (such as Halo Wars)

Lastly, want to give thanks to those who helped me out in the VJ Discord when I asked for it. Cpt Hazama as well for the advice

• Cpt Hazama's Flood SNPC's (What are the holy warriors to purify without the infestation?)

• Vio's Vfire (Adds some neat effects when sentinels die)
