Why do Combine Stalkers not do anything?

[Sinistar]

All they do is walk around, shoot lasers at stalkers, and be the base for creepyness in horror maps, I know they attack you in half life 2 episode 1 so y don't they in this game?

[theUSguy425]

That's how Valve programmed them.

[LL]

i wondered that also.

But still they shoot lasers at you in Half Life 2 episode 1 so I don't understand how that program wasn't replicated here

When spawned through the spawn menu. They're in (basically) "HL2 Mode".
Which means they act as though you aren't there.

If its spawned via Hammer Editor and several settings are changed. It will become hostile.

Alright, is Hammer Editor a mod of addon of sorts?

It's bundled with the Half-Life 2 game (not gmod) and can be accessed either through the Source SDK tool or through the HL2 dir (steamapps/common/half-life 2/bin/hammer.exe).

It's the software used to make maps for the Source Engine. Look up some tutorials on how to use it.

Alright, thanks man!

You don't necessarily need the SDK or Hammer to make them attack you or do other stuff. There are various addons that do the same! Check out NPC Tools.

[Sinistar]

Ok so nothing worked with the NPC tool so I'll need to use the SDK

If you intend on putting this into a HL2 map, make sure you put it somewhere where you can't kill it, because in HL2, there's no ragdoll for the stalker and killing it crashes the game.

If you're putting it in GMod, Episode 1 or 2 then go right ahead with stalker killing.

Alright thanks man, this should help with the Stalker Cronicals series I will be working on

[TheLastSoL]

they do attack vortigaunt's and seem to be immune to the murder pulse

[Identity_Crysys]

They will attack the player if you spawn two and kill one
