See below for instructions on making it available.

tf_zombie is a point entity available in Team Fortress 2 Team Fortress 2.

Spooky scary skeletons.

Entity Description

An AI-controlled entity that attacks players. Despite the name, the entity is a skeleton and not a zombie.

Two skeleton types exist: team-colored and green. Team-colored Skeletons can only attack or receive damage from the opposite team, green Skeletons can attack or receive damage from either team.

There are 3 different ​sizes of Skeletons: Small, Normal​, and ​Kings. Normal Skeletons, when destroyed, ​drop 3 glowing skulls which then ​​​sprout​ into 3 ​Small Skeletons​ that then attack until destroyed.

Skeletons can be spawned/controlled by a tf_zombie_spawner.

Confirm:How many of the NPC keyvalues/inputs actually do anything to the skeletons?
