One of the Keyvalues you can change is Model. Just set this to the citizen model and there you go. You have all the same options as though you had created a soldier (which weapon, num of grenade, etc..) Only draw back is that they still use the sounds of the combine.

<div style="text-align: left;">Sorry, I made a tad error. I forgot I edited my fgd file so hammer would allow me this
option. There are two ways that you can still use the npc_combine_s entity with a
citizen model. The first is a bit of a cheat, but it works. What you can do is create
and monster_generic entity, select the model you want to use. Then, change the entity to
npc_combine_s and the Model value will retain the value from monster_generic....make
sense? That is kinda of the "half ass" not completly correct way to do it. The second
way to do it is to edit your halflife2.fgd as such:
BEFORE CHANGE:
@NPCClass base(BaseCombine) studio("models/Combine_Soldier.mdl") = npc_combine_s :
"Combine Soldier"
[
model(choices) : "Model" : "models/combine_soldier.mdl" : "Regular Soldier" =
[
"models/combine_soldier.mdl" : "Regular Soldier"
"models/combine_soldier_prisonguard.mdl" : "Nova Prospekt Soldier"
"models/combine_super_soldier.mdl" : "Elite Soldier"
]
tacticalvariant(choices) : "Tactical Variant" : "0" =
[
"0" : "Normal Tactics"
"1" : "Pressure the enemy (Keep advancing)"
]
]
AFTER CHANGE:
@NPCClass base(BaseCombine) studio() = npc_combine_s : "Combine Soldier"
[
model(studio) : "Model"
tacticalvariant(choices) : "Tactical Variant" : "0" =
[
"0" : "Normal Tactics"
"1" : "Pressure the enemy (Keep advancing)"
]
]
Now you can use any model with the npc_combine_s entity.
