How to spawn npc's?

[𐰑𐰅𐰢𐰀𐰽]

Cant find it anywhere on how to do this, either unarmed or not working.

[SURVIVOR-DUP]

No idea.

[Lychy]

Type sv_Cheats 1, reload the map and type "give monster_hgrunt_ally" or whatever the name for the npc is

[Zakhar]

sv_cheats 1
restart the map
give monster_(name of the npc here,you can find it online somewhere.)
do not try to spawn npcs that cant be found in the part of the map you are into.for example,a gargantua in the beggining of the game.

[𐰑𐰅𐰢𐰀𐰽]

Tried those already, it doesn't work

[Faber]

It used to either crash my game or not work at all. IDK.

Ok so after some digging I found this web page and its good info, have tested the results as of today.

Using the known sv command line to introduce cheats and then we want more; so we use impulse commands like the infamous Grunt-o-matic or impulse 76 (warning npcs spawned are HOSTILE even in HL:OF.

So I found this

https://www.ign.com/boards/threads/opposing-force-spawning-armed-different-grunt-models.452716540/
He is correct, the give command works and it does create a friendly npc (medic and torch/engineer cause crashes).
He is also correct that they are interactable and function just like normal friendly Marines.
Sadly he is correct on this last part too, they are unarmed. Fully-Totally-Insanely gunless.

Now I am stuck, also the command give monster_human_grunt_ally spawns them INSIDE you so if you want to get some more Marines in a fight you need noclip turned on (they still have no guns though)

Help solving this mystery would be amazing!

Some info that i forgot:
You cant spawn an npc that isnt included in the map.Example,youcant spawn a zombie at the very beggining of the game.That ends up crashing the game
If they spawn inside you,use NOCLIP in the console to get out free

Trying to spawn friendly npcs, they keep showing up unarmed and mostly useless.

[MuttonMann]

When I type in console "give monster_hgrunt_ally" dosen't spawn anything (And I reload the map)

[Skarn]

if you spawn grunt and he dies he will lose his weapon but he doesn't spawn with it. a medic has a pistol. give monster_human_medic_ally....you can spawn barney by give monster_barney

Last I tried to spawn in npc entities that I wanted, have not tried recently though. Also when I did try last they were hostile to all other player/npcs not of the same type (HECU grunts).
