Ok, I need help on creating NPCs. The first one I want to create is a crow that flys around and lands and acts like a crow. I would also like to create some citizens. I can't find any tutorials anywhere on this subject, so now I ask for some help. I really need to know how to make these.

Citizens are made with the npc_citizen entity, and crows are, er, npc_crows. Stick in some info_nodes (and info_node_airs) and they should run around.

Just like in Half-Life 1 but with npc_(thingy) instead of monster_(thingy). Put it in, fiddle with the properties a bit and add the nodes.
PS There is a little tab that tells it to run an animation. Not sure how you tell it to do more than one though.
EDIT: Above animation thing doesn't work

I believe that animation thing is just to find out what animations have
what names for that model. I don't think it has any other
purpose. Of course, it's very useful for some detailed scripting.
