This is the first of hopefully several scripts that create and manage Half-Life monsters so they can be spawned and messed with in several mods.

This script cannot be used as a plugin by itself. You can spawn headcrabs with the simple test plugin that is also attached.

This script has built in natives, check out the test plugin to see how simple it is to make a plugin with this script. (Test plugin command: spawn_headcrab)

Code:
