@Shiro Will you answer my question? Is there perhaps such a possibility? 
I would very much like there to be such a function in your plugin 🙂

I'll look into it when i have free time , i only took over to maintain it so adding new features to it is not on my to-do list for now as i'm busy with other projects

Do you know why i can't get the npc's to use any weapon that requires Pistol Bullets.? FYI i am using Kits and giving them weapons and ammo with the kits.

o.k. I fixed that, now the only problem is the npc only use the bullets in the weapon and when its empty they won.t  reload??

 

Did you also add bullets to the kit?

Not to be a pest, but where does the info for npc base Loot files such as radtown_loot_component_test xist in the file structure?

@Shiro Do you anticipate being able to update this plugin to work with the new update? I.E. The jungle and the new NPC's?

@Shiro

 

Plugin is causing red text to pop up on the screen after killing any NPC's spawned in by this plugin. Any thoughts on when an update may be published for the current release of Rust?

SpawnNPC is crashing my server when NPCs have loot crates set. No errors are being reported, hard crash requiring a server restart.

Any ideas???

Your compiler is freezing which is server related not plugin

Does not appear to be the case. I ahve the same issue. Killing NPCs at launchsite throws a heap of "Attempting to kill scientist, alreadykilled?" or something to that affect then the server freezes. I believe it is to do with the loot crate option.

Free version is no longer maintained this plugin was merged to a paid version with more features and customization.

Yeah saw that. I'm working on a personally hosted server for friends and sadly the cost of plugins being USD adds up fast so before sinking cash into random plugins I like to get what I can out of the available free versions where possible.

The free plugin still works fine, like many abandoned plugins there is usually some changes needed in code, something I don't mind doing as it's good practice to stave off the need to lower my standards to have to consider using AI for anything.

The issue eluded to where the server crashes is linked to the Loot Crates assigned to some NPCs (and nothing to do with server speed). From what I can tell the crate being called does not exist so throws it into a spiral. A simple fix is disable the loot crate option for an NPC and set instead the default Rust loot and it solves that problem. Sadly lack of documentation makes some settings a challenge to figure out (such as the info on where these "loot crates" are being read from)

Now I would consider the paid version, however, I assume a chunk of the function is based off the original code with some new improvements so that factors into the cost consideration since while there is info on what features are available, no video or further info into how any of it is improved so hard to know what extra function I will get that is applicable to my needs (I personally don't need the GUI options as editing cfg files is far more efficient. Second is support, when a plugin is free, support is a nicety but never expected however when a plugin is sold for profit, support is expected and I see in the support thread the only question asked which was your question funnily but it's still a concern it remained unanswered as info is useful to everyone so unanswered questions on a user facing forum is never good.

Will see if it is worth the investment down the track but I may simply start modifying the current free version to add in the functionality I need.
