Hi there,
I have a simple question. Is it possible to create stronger monsters with more health?
Thank's for your replys!

I think it's possible, even in Hammer.
If you set a rotating door's damage to -10 (or any negative value) then instead of killing it, the doors "heal" the monster. And then you can simply teleport the monster.

Oh wow, thought it would be as easy as set a key and value like "health 500" or something in smart edit mode. :/
How to do this with the rotating door and the monster? Do I have to set the monster in the rotating door?

Ah ok, it seems to work.
How it works: The monster has to be blocked by the door and every second the monster seems to be charged with the value of the damage. The door_rotating has to be activated to charge the monster!
Thank you!

Edit skill.cfg, in your mod´s folder, there you can change health, power of weapons, etc. Easy as pie.
As an example:
As an example:
// Houndeye
sk_houndeye_health1 "20"
sk_houndeye_health2 "20"
sk_houndeye_health3 "30"
sk_houndeye_dmg_blast1 "10"
sk_houndeye_dmg_blast2 "15"
sk_houndeye_dmg_blast3 "15"

@abbadon : This would be correct if he make a mod, I think he's creating a map for vanilla HL.

Sorry, I thought Vanilla worked the same as HL and its mods

I don't think people would like it if their skill.cfg for the default Half-Life install were modified for just one map.

Well, for the mapping part, I said it.
But if you're making a mod, then you can also create an entirely new NPC, like "monster_zombie_stronk" whose health is 1337. You just copy the entire .cpp file and change the class' name, adjust some stuff and there you go.
And yes, "stronk" and "1337" were on purpose, just for the lols

Admer has the key. Nothing easier than that. 
BTW and forgive my ignorance since everyone seems to knot what is it, what is Vanilla Half-Life?

@Admer456: don't promote bad programming practices. If you need a modified zombie, inherit from its class and change things there, or refactor it into a shared base class.

Like sentry guns and turrets, right?. But for beginners it's not that bad approach IMHO. , anyway doing what Solokiller said is not so difficult, I did this for the monster_crane (yes, a monster crane) in my MOD, it tooks me only an hour to do so.

It is easier and cleaner to do it like Solokiller said.

Well, unfortunately, that's all I know. My first NPC was somewhat fine until "aUG" crashed as soon as the NPC saw the player.

just make a mod folder and have a custom skill.cfg? liblist.gam is the only thing needed
