The squad can hold up to five people, and only certain NPCs will work. Allow Join Player's Squad - For those who haven't played half-life 2, NPC's like Rebel NPCs can join the player's squad and fight for the character, along with the medic can heal the character.Leaving this unchecked is a good option to reduce strain on your graphics processor. Keep Corpses - This will keep the corpse of the NPC if it is killed, normally left unchecked, the NPC will disappear few seconds after dying.Disable AI - AI stands for Artificial-Intelligence, so disabling this will stop the NPC from reacting to you in anyway, it will not react to it's environment or anything.Now look down below the portraits, you will find a drop down menu and check boxes, let me explain what each one does.

If you click one of the portraits, it will spawn an NPC where you were aiming before you opened up the Q menu just like a prop would spawn. Disregarding that, you will see portraits along with names of different NPC's. You will see a menu like this:Īgain I will have more NPC options than you due to mods that I have gotten from. NPC stands for non-player character, like in half-life 2 the residents of the apartments and city that talk and interact with you along with other games like Mass Effect (party members), Halo (other marines), it just goes on and on. Okay then, onto the next tab, being NPC's. Although this method does allow the searching of some props, that are not listed in the spawn-lists in the prop tab. I do not recommend the use of this very much because it is annoying to navigate and will take sometime to load. This is another way to browse for spawn-lists but in file format like shown below: Getting along, you will see a tab at the top of the menu, located next to props called browse. Individual terms of each tool will be listed under each tool's post. Even further to the right are the properties of the tool you have selected. To select one just simply click on it and the tool gun will become the tool you selected. To the right of all this is the location of all your tools. Above the icons you will notice names of props and such, click different names to pull up different spawn-lists (the icons of the props you can spawn).

Simply aim, open up the menu, and click on a icon of a prop to spawn it where you aimed in the game. So anyway, you will see a bunch of props you can spawn with their icons. I will refer to this as the Q menu because of the fact of the default button to pull up this menu is Q.
