Double post
Max just said to use the Actor Spawner and it should work, not very helpful considering i was using the Actor Spawner and mentioned it
So i need someone else to test it to see if it's just me, take the NPC Control folder and put it in the garrysmod/garrysmod/addons directory then use the Actor Spawner NOT the normal NPC Spawner, the NPC Actor Spawner
Then try to set it's animation, i've gotten a rebel to animate a couple of times but then it stopped working shortly after, and try to spawn an NPC Actor with a weapon
I sent him a message on his recent Youtube video, his response
Just thought i'd post this for anyone who cares
I hope he gets it working, i don't want to go through the trouble of decompiling maps just to place a few NPCs or so then to wait hours for the map to re-compile :(
*press f9 to compile map.*
*click advanced settings*
*set mode to "FAST COMPILE"*
*profit*
also, i don't remember if this works on dr. kliener, but i think if you look at him, type ent_setname kliener, then type "ent_fire kliener playanimation", then he should play an anim. not sure if it works in gmod, i know it does in portal 2 though.
