Custom Enemy Base

Features

At any time, custom enemies will be randomly refreshed on the map, without occupying special slots. A prerequisite framework for custom bosses — it contains no monsters by itself. It provides spawning, pathfinding, melee attacks, damage calculation, skill slots, right-click shoving and an on-screen health bar.

How to use?

1. In the simplest case, add a script to your monster mod: in scripts/vscripts/director_base_addon.nut, copy the code below and fill in the key parameters of your model. You will then get a plain enemy that spawns on any map and only uses melee attacks.

if (!("CEQueue" in getroottable())) getroottable()["CEQueue"] <- []; getroottable()["CEQueue"].append(function(T) { T.Add("myboss", { MODEL = "models/mypack/myboss.mdl" // Required, must include the models/ prefix HEALTH = 4000 // Required, health on Expert (Easy / Normal / Hard = x0.125 / x0.25 / x0.5) IDLE_ANIM = "idle" // Required, the sequence name in your model, must match exactly WALK_ANIM = "walk" // Required, walk animation ATTACK_ANIM = "attack" // Required, attack animation DEAD_ANIM = "die" // Required, death animation ATTACK_DAMAGE = 20 // Required, damage per melee hit }); });

2. Advanced usage. Unpack this vpk and you will find the scripts_template folder: it contains dozens of extra parameters and a tutorial on how to write skills. You can also check how the other new-enemy mods in the collection are written.
