this is how i did it in hl1 , i think the same goes for hl2
make a aiscriptd_sequence entity in the place you want the zombie to go,
target the zombie with it (so give your zombie a name and put it in aiscripted_sequence targer field)
and set the fields so the zombie will walk to the scripted sequence,
i think you need to fill inthe fields , move to and change the field
with search within range to the distance the zombie is away for the
scripted sequence,
i know this is a bit of a bad description, maybe someone else can tell
you more specificly what entity names and fields you must fill in, it's
been a while for me since i touched hammer, and that was for hl1
since i installed the new sdk my old hammer is broken and my new hammer doesn't work yet :S
EDIT:
info_node entitys in the map will tell the npcwhere he can go and where not i think, but you must place them with care

spawn point behind a dust cloud, but they just seem to randomly wonder around that area instead of moving to the center of the map (where I placed what I think is a waypoint but doesnt seem to work 
), if you walk upto them they do chase you, but when you move a few meters away from them they give up and go back to their origional area and carry on wondering about. I have tried altering the distance they see you but it didnt help.
