You are lucky that some Americans like me stay up until 4:30 AM to help out with problems just like this ;)

I solute you!

You might also want to use an entity called npc_enemyfinder. Just give it the same squad name as the grunts. You can also fire off a scripted sentence that tell the grunts to run toward the player after they spawn.

I didn't know about that one MeatPuppet, thanks. It will come in handy in my map.

MP, the SiN:E Hammer is currently AWOL on my sys so I can't check this but since the grunts are modified HL2 Combine will the ai_relationship and filter_activator_name work with Thinking outside the PVS for the grunt?

note: For advanced trigger methods, in addition to the auto ai relationship methods suggested.

will the ai_relationship and filter_activator_name work with Thinking outside the PVS for the grunt?

Yep, they still work in SinEp. I've used them a lot.

Thanks bro.

I think it's cool that the game makers are helping the third party map maker's :)
