[VJ] Combine Riot Control (NPC)

If you enjoy the addon, don't forget to leave a thumbs up!

May I introduce you all to the Combine Riot Control Officer. This is a Metro Cop that specializes in the suppression of rioting crowds of anti-citizens. This officer is equipped with a riot control shield and an assortment of riot suppression implements. These implements include a pulse pistol, stun baton, and smg1 with tear gas grenades.

The Riot Control Officer shield is its primary source of defense when using both ranged and melee weapons. The shield is bullet and melee resistant and will block all for form of damage bar heavy explosives and combine balls. If taking fire, the Riot Control Officer will duck behind their shield to protect their extremities from damage.

Their shield does come with a weakness if explosives are not an option, the shield's glass panel. If the glass takes enough damage, it will shatter, leaving the Officer's head exposed through the open slot in the shield. Perfect for a precision shot.

Outside of their shield they are also equipped with a light face shield that provides some extra head protection, but can easily be shot off by gunfire.

To better deal with crowds a Riot Control Officer with an smg can fire tear gas grenades. This will blind and damage any enemy caught in its range. The officer is immune to the gas.

Features of this NPC include:

• Weapons: Stun Baton, Combine Pulse Pistol, Riot SMG with Tear Gas Launcher
  
• Riot shield with breakable glass
  
• Custom shooting, running, reload, melee, and stun animations
  
• Dynamic behavior based on distance to target
  
• Destructible face shield

Feel free to offer feedback and suggestions. Such things help me with future development of addons. This was most first big collaborative project with other creators and one of my most mechanic rich by far. Thank you to EJ_5527 for the Riot Officer model and a thank you to Junktown jerky vendor for making the custom animations. This project would not have been possible in its current form without them. I look forward to continuing my collaboration with other creators to bring the community even more feature rich npcs!

In the meantime, enjoy!
