Hey Bsnooch, so I've been playing the ultimate campaign and so far it's been pretty fun although it's extremely difficult. So I've gotten some ideas of my own for a custom campaign using the various Smod tools. I wanted to see if some things were possible before jumping into this and I also had a few questions aswell.
First the main question I had was, how do you edit the default campaign of Half-Life 2 without triggering events. I know ai_disable 1 stops the AI from moving but in some cases NPC's still carry out their lines aswell as musical cues and some events like the train from Route Kanal activate.
Secondly can I get advanced with this using the ingame tools such as animations and events possibly with triggers, such as a guard shooting a feeling citizen once the player leaves the trainstation or something like that.
Lastly using the nodes can I spawn weapons and health similar to how nodes spawn NPC's and props.
Thanks Bsnooch for making Half-Life 2 fun again and I hope that I can start making my own fun with Smod Aswell!
