npc_civilian

← List of SE1 entities

npc_civilian is a model entity available in  SiN Episodes. It is a neutral human NPC in the game. Similar to the npc_citizen from Half-Life 2. For story related characters it is better to use npc_generic_actor instead.

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

Entity description

Neutral NPC that can use Actbusy, patrol and get scared from the gun fire. Like npc_generic_actor, it does not have it's own voice lines, but the game searches for the male npc_citizen pain voice lines from Half-Life 2. Always shown as models/characters/DockWorkers/dockworker01.mdl in the editor, but actually doesn't have a default model set for it.
