Squads allow you to group NPCs in ways they understand. A squad will cover each other, move together, share information, and take turns at attacking the player or any 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 parts are moved 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.
