Description: Obsolete, get Version 4: http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=116607

This addon allows you to spawn groups of NPCs from the NPC tab, under the category "Groups". If you find youself spamming the "Combine Soldier" button or "Citizen" or whatever, this may make it easier on you.

Keyvalues for each NPC (Model, weapon, squad name, manhacks, grenades) are edited for variety.

Another expansion of this addon. I've added Zombies, by popular request (and my own ability to stop being lazy.), and worker antlions in the antlion groups (If you don't have EP2, I believe it may cause an issue or two. You can probably just use the antlion squads from V2.)

In the first two iterations of NPC Groups, NPCs with weapons would not drop them upon death. This was intentionally there to prevent random weapons from cluttering up the battlefield, but apparently some people like to claim their spoils of war! How shocking!
This version includes a console variable for these people. To allow NPCs spawned from NPC groups to drop their weapons upon dying, simply type "npcg_weapondrop 1" in your console. The variable is 0 by default, but will remember itself so that you won't need to retype it every time you boot up GMod.

Props to Timenova for telling me the class name of worker antlions and unwittingly fixing squad names.

Cheers.
