[VJ] Zippy’s Combine SNPCs

Formerly known as Zippy’s Improved Combine SNPCs

This is a pack that contains a bunch of VJ Base combine SNPCs, both based on NPCs that already exists in the game, and other Half Life 2 beta ones for example. They have plenty of additional features such as:

– Metrocops that throw grenades! (Wow!)

– Combine soldiers being able to deploy turrets that they store on their backs!

– Gunships, dropships, APCs, striders and helicopters don’t need any kind of nodes in order to move.

– Dropships that can deploy not only soldiers, but also hunters and rollermines (and much more)! (It can be configured in "Zippy’s Combine SNPCs" under the "DrVrej" tab.)

– SNPCs being more agressive over all, roller mines are more engaged in battle for example, they will attempt to follow nearby allies when they cannot see the enemy. Shield scanners (or scanner synths) will actively try dropping hopper mines near the enemy.

– And of course other things as well.

All of the ground SNPCs except the combine turret and the strider support being controlled by the VJ controller, I might add support for the flying ones (and the strider) as well, but probably only if VJ Base gets an update that improves the controlling of aerial SNPCs.
