NPC behavior

[Jester4108]

Does anyone know of a console command or tool that would let me set it so that NPCs stand stock still until they see a player? I don't want them wandering around when i can't see them.

1. press c
2. click npc in the top right
3. disable thinking
4. turn it on again when you want them to move

Maybe i should clarify a bit. Trying to set up a DOOM llike track for people to run through. I go through with thinking disabled setting up monsters. Then to test it i turn on thinking and run through it to find that the monsters don't stay still, they wander around causing balance issues when the soldiers with guns from the next area come into the area i set up for a close combat fight and join in completly mutilating the player.
