Npc combinegunship

Note: The gunship does not seem to use info_node_airs for navigation and seems to follow path_tracks exclusively! It does so quite intelligently, though, so the result looks rather dynamic.

Tip:Use info_target_gunshipcrash entities to suggest spectacular crashing points for defeated gunships.

Note:Some keyvalues, spawnflags, effect flags, inputs, or outputs might not affect an NPC, based on the functionality and coding of the NPC.
