}} npc_manhack is a point entity available in 
Half-Life 2, 
Half-Life 2: Episode One, 
Half-Life 2: Episode Two, and 
Half-Life 2: Deathmatch.
This is the entity that represents manhacks ingame. Can be carried and thrown by Metrocops.
- This is a flying NPC that uses info_node_air, info_node_air_hint or path_tracks for AI navigation.
Note:Some keyvalues, spawnflags, effect flags, inputs, or outputs might not affect an NPC, based on the functionality and coding of the NPC.
Bug:There is a currently a bug where Manhacks will not report their deaths back to the npc_template_maker that spawned them. Consider using the OnDeath output to increment a math_counter if you want to keep track of them. [todo tested in ?]Note:This npc uses the squad ai to decide when to attack or when to swarm. This can cause unwanted behavior when in a squad with other squad based npcs.Dedicated Console Variables
- sk_manhack_health <int>
- A manhack's spawn health (Default: 25).
- sk_manhack_melee_dmg >int>
