Replacing npc materials in hammer (brick wall zombie)

[swiss_cheese9797]

I'm trying to figure out how to switch materials for an NPC. What I mean is, I'd like to know how to take, say a zombie, and change it's material to a red-brick texture. You can do this in gmod, and I've seen it before on some pre-fabs, but I don't have those pre-fabs anymore. Anyone know how? is it a keyvalue in the zombie entity? is there a console command? Thanks.

You dont do that in hammer.

okay......so..... do you know how? Or do you just know one way of NOT being able to?

you want to replace it, or you want to change it during the game?

You need to decompile the npc material... then do what you want with it in photoshop and then recompile.

Hammer is for editing and creating environments not for changing textures on props/instances/npc's
