Npc zombie prone

An npc_zombie_prone prefab.

A prefab located in the Prefabs HL2 folder, containing a script setup that will handle a seemingly dead zombie rise from lying on the ground if the player approaches it.

This prefab contains the following:

• An npc_zombie NPC to be used.
• A scripted_sequence, with its Target NPC keyvalue set to the name of the zombie, that will animate the rise of the zombie.
• logic_relay entity that when triggered will kill the trigger the rising sequence.
• A trigger_once brush that will trigger the relay.

Damaging the lying zombie will also trigger the sequence, but killing it will not.

The I/O traffic is a little more confusing than it has to be, so here is a simpler, optimized version that works just as well:

1. Delete the logic_relay.

2. Set up the Outputs of the npc_zombie like this:

		My output	Target entity	Target input	Parameter	Delay	Only once	Comments
		OnDamaged	npc_zombie_prone_1_stand_trigger	Kill		0.00	Yes
		OnDamaged	npc_zombie_prone_1_ss	BeginSequence		0.00	Yes
		OnDeath	npc_zombie_prone_1_ss	Kill		0.00	Yes

3. Set up the Outputs of the trigger_once like this:

		My output	Target entity	Target input	Parameter	Delay	Only once	Comments
		OnTrigger	npc_zombie_prone_1_ss	BeginSequence		0.00	Yes
