maybe better to show a short clip of their movement so we would know what should be improved or changed..?

hm... how about
- make then gather around where there is a lot of snow?
- randomly throw snow at each other. If it hit, they just attacking each other but not deal damage to each other (Human still take damage)
- move attack instead of stand still and attack

#1 | As you already know and ask for more user interaction. HL NPC transverse when use button is toggled to follow or camp otherwise they blather about beer and buy everybody one or buy the whole damn place if they make it out of there alive. The medic monster.

e.g. : "Government cover-ups are not part of my job description!"
or just some sound effects if low on motivation.

Mirror players interaction or however make a menu to pick to do the opposite deescalate or escalate; essentially user pick. Like the Scientist is meek and the others shoot back.

Naming a few
  • Have them surround trash talking users and turn them into a frost grenade ice cube with the infamous random shades of icey blue screenfades and shakes.
  • Use func_friction to make people slide all over if too close.
  • Dispatch env_snow. Winter breath when within a proximity to these 'characters'.

The BigMomma monster spawns spit with crabs!! The spit could be the snowballs and the crabs the ice; etc etc.

Google "how to make a good npc". There's a nice top 10 list to remind on top. Big Momma definitely covers all those grounds!
