Generic_Actors are used throughout Half-Life 2 in many places and areas. A good example of using this entity would be Lamarr in Dr. Keliners laboratory.


Generic_Actors have a few key features that should be known;



They are more effective than using a NPC character, they are neutral to everything (saves modifying AI_Relationships) and everyone.

They die in one hit / shot.

They can be ANY character (in the MODEL setting, just browse for what you want).

They can NOT be armed with a weapon.

They can talk using a logic_choreographed_scene.
