Welcome to another one of my mapping tutorials. In this tutorial, I will be teaching you how to add Rappelling Combine soldiers to your map.

1. With your map open place the entity npc_Combine_s in the spot you want the combine to rappel from. In my case, I have a made a simple skylight in my map and just place the combine entity slightly above it.



2. Now, Open up the properties menu for the npc_combine_s and set the following options:
• Name: rappel_comb_01
• Waiting to Rappel?: Yes



That’s it for the combine part, now we need to create a trigger to activate the combine rappelling.

3. Start off by creating a brush with the tools/toolstrigger texture and place it where you want your trigger.



Now, select the brush and tie it to trigger_once and hit apply.



4. Now head over to the Outputs tab and add the following output:
My Output Named: OnTrigger
Target Entities Named: rappel_comb_01
Via This Input: BeginRappel

You’re done! Add in a spawn point and weapons for the player and go try it out ingame.
