Making NPC's appear Created 18 years ago2006-03-17 16:35:18 UTC by Exos

How would you make an NPC appear? I have tried everything I could think of. I didn't think it was this hard to make one appear. The only one that works is prop_ragdoll, but like the name suggests, it only makes them ragdoll. How would I make them do an animation?

First you can spawn an NPC with the entity: Npc_maker

To animate you need to use scripted_sequence for moving actions:

Awesome! But, It doesnt really explain how to use it, and how to do it step by step. It just says what they are. Can you perhaps tell me step b step how to do it?

Use triggers to activate it and in properties it should ask for the NPC name so type name in and trigger it to spawn and presto...

Don't ask me about using scripts because they are too hard for me.

Okay, thanks alot dude.

Wait, but HOW to I make npc's appear. Do I set them to an npc_furniture? I don't get it!
