Sandbox Notoriety | Wanted System

Brings in a wanted system that when killing npcs, will increase your notoriety to that faction. Starting with low level threat level (1 star) to the highest threat level (5 stars), the factions will bring in reinforcements and will do everything to eliminate you. If you have played GTA or SaintsRow I’m pretty sure you would know how this works :3.

I wanted to expand Background NPCs feature of wanted system and make it so you could easily create factions of any npc (aircrafts might be buggy).

So prepare to fight against Five different factions of Half Life 2 NPCs if you decide to commit crimes against their people (or their monsters):

The Zombies – Provoke them and you would be facing the horde of zombies and headcrabs
The Resistance – do harm against your allies and youll be dealing with the group of rebels (and their leaders) armed with their makeshift weapons and hacked Combine technology
The Combine – The interdimensional beings that will use their fancy tech and tactics against you.
The Antlions – Killing enough and you would soon attract the hive’s attention to swarm you.

And then there are those who don’t seem to belong to any faction at all and is best left alone—interfering with them may have… unforeseen consequences.

You can also create your own faction. Choose what npcs to spawn on a certain threat level, etc. So far aircrafts like Helicopters and Gunships might not behave as expected when spawn.

– Do crimes (by killing npcs) and prepare to fight against their respective factions.
– Experience fighting against the 5 factions (in the default preset) up to 5 stars . How long can you survive?
– Lower down your notoriety faster by running and hiding, out-of-sight.
– Completely Wipe out/Reset your notoriety by killing Wipey The Dog that comes out at the 5th star. (End game Objective :3)
– Auto NPC cleanups. They will despawn when not actively hunting the player or is stuck.
– Create your own faction! I tried to make it work alongside VJ NPCs. So far it seems to work.
– Create custom NPCs as you make your faction, assign what weapon they hold, color, size, material and health.
– Presets to save your factions!
– DONT FORGET TO SAVE YOUR PRESETS!! It will save the faction and customclasses you made. If you dont save it will be gone on server restart/changemap.

Should probably work on any map with nodes and navs, but if you want a suggestion:

Also try it with my other mod!:
Sandbox Weapon Shop and Money System

– Spawnmenu -> Options -> WeTools -> Notoriety (AdminClient)

– Spawnmenu -> Options -> WeTools -> Notoriety (Admin) -> Create New faction
– There are several help buttons throughout the panel that will explain mostly everything in the section.

– Make sure you have liked this mod and favorite it. Just kidding hehe ^_^
– Make sure you even subscribed and enabled my mod
– Make sure enable notoriety is enabled (Checked at Spawnmenu -> Options -> WeTools -> Notoriety (Admin)).
– If you don’t see anything in the faction list when you go to Spawnmenu -> Options -> WeTools -> Notoriety (Admin), Select the "default" preset then Load it.
– Kill enough of npc on a single faction

– Nodes are needed as spawning is dependent on these.
– Navmeshes are needed only if you will be using VJ npcs in your factions, as they use navmeshes to move around.

– for performance reasons, I decided to let only one faction be active at a time.
– You should have no stars first if you want a certain faction to mark you as wanted. (i.e. Combine faction hates you, killing zombies won’t trigger the zombie faction)

– You will have to clear out your notoriety first before you could make changes.

– So far no problem when using them so I think it’ll work!

– You can see it in commonGarrysModgarrysmoddatawenotpresets
– Feel free to share yours in the discussion!

– If you don’t mind my novice coding/structure. Sure go ahead! I wanted to market this idea to the community. (Crediting me would be appreciate it though :3)
