How to spawn NPCs in GMod
Type gmod_spawnnpc npc_combine_s weapon_ar2 in your game console to spawn a Combine soldier holding an AR2 where you look. sbox_maxnpcs still applies.
gmod_spawnnpc
Spawns an NPC where you are looking, the same way the Sandbox spawn menu does, with an optional weapon.
gmod_spawnnpc <npc> [weapon] Examples
gmod_spawnnpc npc_combine_s weapon_ar2 Combine soldier with an AR2.
gmod_spawnnpc npc_zombie Spawn a zombie.
Arguments
npcRequired- NPC class or list name, for example npc_combine_s.
weaponOptional- Weapon class to give the NPC.
What it does
Uses the NPC list names from the spawn menu and respects sbox_maxnpcs. You can bind it to a key to spawn a favorite NPC quickly.
Run it on your server
On a SLASHPLAY server, type it in the Console tab of the server page; the reply shows right under it. A value set there lasts until the server restarts. To keep it, add the line to garrysmod/cfg/server.cfg. New to this? Start a GMod server first.
Your own
