Scenes

To make an NPC speak in Black Mesa is quite simple. First, make a new entity called logic_choreographed_scene. Then, in the keyvalues pick what voiceline you want, then pick the target NPC.

Warning:Certain voice lines only work for certain characters, such as having a scientist speak guard voice lines, won't work. Voice lines also have to be generic, unless you name a NPC the required name for that voice line. Example: For \c1a01\scientist, you would name the scientist Sci_c1a01. Make sure if you are using generic you only see npc\security, npc\male_scientist, etc., or something similar, no chapter names.
