A little help for a Newbie?

[Barfdude]

Ok, so I just barely started out mapping with Hammer. I have a few questions.

1. How do I put a gun in? I looked in entities, but didn't see anything about guns besides the gun manager thingy.

2. How do I make NPCs?

3. Goes along with number 2, how do I make NPCs who would be enemies (eg a combine soldier) into an Ally?

Many thanks if you can answer this =)

Um, that only helps for ingame, doesn't it? I don't think that really deals with hammer....maybe I'm just stupid though.

2. There are entities that start with "npc_". These will create NPC's. For example, npc_combine_s creates a combine soldier. Play around with the properties to fully configure the NPC.

I fixed my own problem, actually. Seems I had only the base fgd file, not HL2's file.
