Squads

Squads allow you to group NPCs in ways they understand. Members of a squad will cover each other, move together, share information, and take turns at attacking their enemies. However, they have limitations:
- Squads cannot be directly influenced. The mapper must instead influence the individual squad members.
- Squads will not stay together if directed otherwise by a scripted or semi-scripted sequence.
- There are no squad leaders, unlike Half-Life 1.
- Squad tactics are less complex than in Half-Life 1.
To form a squad, edit the Squad Name property for each NPC that will be a part of it. All NPCs sharing the same squad name are in the same squad.
