Friendly NPCs (Allies)

Spawn and manage friendly NPCs in Garry's Mod. Learn to make Rebels and Citizens follow you or guard areas using the context menu.

How to Create and Manage Allies:

From the 'NPCs' tab in the Spawn Menu (Q), you can spawn various friendly NPCs, primarily from Half-Life 2 (e.g., 'Citizen', 'Rebel', 'Barney').

Interaction:

• Follow/Guard: Use the 'Context Menu' (C key) on a friendly NPC. You can often set them to 'Follow' you or 'Guard' a specific area.
• Weapons: You can give weapons to some friendly NPCs by dropping a weapon and pressing 'E' on it while looking at the NPC.
• Healing: Use the 'Medkit' or 'Health Vial' on them to heal.
• AI Manipulation: Some addons (e.g., 'Nextbot AI' or 'Improved NPC AI') offer more advanced control over friendly NPC behavior.

Uses: Creating small squads, setting up defensive positions, or populating scenes.
