A Beginner’s Guide to Using VJ Base in Garry’s Mod: What You Need to Know

Garry’s Mod, fondly known as GMod, is a versatile sandbox game that allows players to manipulate and create their own gameplay experiences. One of the most exciting tools within this realm is the VJ Base, which adds an array of functionalities for creating custom NPCs (non-player characters) and enhancing your gaming experience. In this article, we’ll explore what VJ Base is and how you can effectively utilize it in Garry’s Mod.

What is VJ Base?

VJ Base is an advanced addon for Garry’s Mod that enables users to create and customize various types of NPCs with unique behaviors and functions. This base provides an extensive framework for developers to implement different AI routines, animations, sound effects, and more into their NPCs. Whether you’re looking to build hostile enemies or friendly allies, VJ Base gives you the tools needed to breathe life into your creations.

Simply search for ‘VJ Base,’ subscribe to it, and launch Garry’s Mod. The addon will automatically download and install itself into your game directory. After installation, you might want to check for any dependencies that need additional addons or models.

Creating Your First NPC

Once you have VJ Base installed, it’s time to create your first NPC.
