monster_human_grunt - Point Entity

After the resonance cascade, the Hazardous Environment Combat Unit (HECU) marines were sent in as a cleanup crew. Their orders were to eliminate anyone - both aliens and Black Mesa personnel. They were transported in by Osprey's and APC's and were supported by Apache helicopters and tanks. Armed with MP5's, combat shotguns, frag grenades and M203 grenade launchers, they also have a wide array of other weapons at their disposal, such as automatic sentry guns and tripmines, and various mounted weapons.

Soldiers operate in squads and will try to flank the player or flush them out with grenades. Their chatter can be picked up by the HEV suit, which gives the player some insight into what they are thinking.

Notes

• To create a soldier-controlled mounted weapon, create a func_tank or a related entity, and have a monster_human_grunt target it as its TriggerTarget, with 'Death' as the TriggerCondition. This disables the mounted weapon when the soldier gets killed. A similar setup, where the soldier is replaced with a func_breakable silhouette, can be used to simulate a hidden sniper.
