Entity description

The Black Mesa Security personnel, not Barney Calhoun, but this entity's design was later used as a basis for him. Security Guards are friendly Non-Player Characters(NPCs) that assist the player by following them around,and fending off enemies using unlimited pistol ammo, and a protective vest allowing them to take tons of damage. Only two NPCs can follow the player at one time, the player can bring along two Barneys, two Scientists, or one of each, ONLY. If the player does have two NPCs and tries to recruit another NPC, the NPC will join the player's group, and another NPC will leave.
