How to make npc:s speak?

 

[Faulk_Wulf]

I trigger an ambient_generic (?) to say whatever .wav file I wish. (And parent it to the NPC.) I garentee this is probably not how Valve did it. But it works in most cases.

But what about the mouth movement? How do you make the model do a 'face poser' pose. I need to know this too

I tested that and alyx did move her mouth... But how to make it the style it's meant to be maked... And how to make quiczombies jump from roof?

 

[Faulk_Wulf]

Quick zombies jump on their own. Now if you need a specific spot for it to jump to, try a scripted_seqence.

As far as the voice thing, I can't help you with that anymore. I told you I did it a half-butt way...

Anyone else?

run Face Poser, learn to use it, save the lcd file, open hammer, put the LCD entity in, trigger it
