I had trouble getting it to work when I was first adding it to GMod. I don't remember exactly how I got it working but I think it was something to do with something that was #ifdef'd out (probably an #ifdef EPISODIC).
I remember it did take me a while to work it out - if you can't find it let me know and I'll do a diff on the offending files. garry On Thu, Jul 3, 2008 at 4:29 PM, Andrew Watkins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Has anyone had any difficulty convincing antlion worker's spit to work > properly?
