monster_sitting_scientist

monster_sitting_scientist is a point entity available in Half-Life.

Entity description

Exactly the same as monster_scientist, however forced into a "sitting" position and lacks AI unless talked to.

NoteThis entity is difficult to place without using the model as a reference or copying one from an existing map. The Sven Co-op FGD seems to help with this issue.

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