Features:
-Combat AI:
— They will back off if target is too close.
— They will strafe randomly, walking or running while shooting.
— Their shooting is a gesture.
— When the target hides they will shoot at the cover and one (or some) of them will go in to flank, if target still doesn’t come out more will join in the flanking.
— Will run to cover whenever possible
— Jump over small obstacles (props not included)

-States System:
–They go through states based on the conditions
–"Idle":
—Patrolling, no enemy, default one

–"Suspicious":
—Heard something, or saw "something" move in a not so clear range

–"Stressed":
—Heard a gunshot at far distance or are 70% sure what they saw was an enemy

–"Alert":
—They confirmed their enemy, at this point, only way to avoid them is losing line of sight with them for a while

-Sound Detection:
–They can hear sounds such as a can falling or footsteps
–They will investigate the source of the sound
–They can also hear gunshots
–If the gunshot was heard near, they will enter in alert and attack the responsible of it
–If the gunshot was somewhat far, they will go stressed and rush to the position where they heard it
–If the gunshot was from a weapon categorized as "suppressed" they will investigate it calmly instead
–You can manually add weapons to the table of suppressed weapons
–If the nextbots who heard it where in stressed state, they will rush in group to the position they heard the sound in, instead of just one of them going to "investigate"

-Vision types:
–The gray ones are the default ones, they don’t see you in darkness but in brightness (turns bright red when alerted)
–The cyan ones are the nightvision ones, they don’t see you in brightness but yes in lightning (turns orange when alerted)
–The purple ones are thermal ones, they see you in both conditions, but their detection range is shorter (turns dark red when alerted)

-Dialogues when an ally dies and they are alert:
–If the ally was categorized as a "commander" or "elite" they will say a dialogue related to the leader
–If the ally was categorized as a "heavy" or "big guy" they will say something related to losing "the big guy"
–Else they will say a generic dialogue towards losing an ally

-Ally guarding:
–When idle, if they see an ally that is in "guard" category, they will start following said ally, such as escorting him, they will stop if they get too close and wander around
–The "guarded" ally will keep wandering normally, if he sees enemies then he will do one of the following:
—If he has a guard, he will run near him so he protects him
—Otherwise, he will run to a hiding spot until the threat is gone
—The soldiers with this behavior are blackwatch pilot and blackwatch officer (unnarmed)

-Crouching:
–They can crouch if they want to when in battle

-Covering dynamically:
–If they feel like when they crouch, they lose line of sight with their target, then they will "cover" and wait in there for a while, they will eventually go up and continue the battle
-When covering, they will sometimes do "turn-crouch" anims
–Special animations for proper cover

-Flashlight:
–They can use a flashlight if enabled to (can cause framedrops)

-Weapon Variants:
–M249:
—Higher bullets mag, they can give heavy covering fire without the need to reload for a time

–MGL:
—Grenade Launcher, very effective against groups or enemies covering

–Javelin:
—Anti-tanks variant, the explosion can kill a player in seconds

-Individual features:
–Blackwatch D-Code is the dumbest yet strongest soldier, he has 750 health and his melee hits are extremely powerful
–The Afghanistan Heavy both have a lot of health and a dangerous gun, it’s better to avoid them
–The Commando Sniper shoots only one bullet, takes 5 seconds to reload, and he tries to position himself in "sniping" spots
–The Commando Elite has higher chances to throw a grenade than his common allies
–SWAT units aren’t friendly to other stealth nextbots

If you don’t want the required hud, then you can get any from Dopey’s, but make sure you have one so you know your noise level and brightness level else you will not have the full stealth experience

Purple and black textures? Then your resources downloaded wrong, reinstall them
Moving errors? Then you are missing the resources addon
Creates errors? Check if you have the nextbot base, then check if you have conflicting addons
Won’t move? Type "nav_generate" in console, if it says "no walkable seeds" then look at ground, type "nav_edit 1" then "nav_mark_walkable" then type "nav_generate" obviously it all in console
