When you want to make a NPC you can use any existing starting with npc_ . But if it is something "special" you can use a func_tank I beleave to make it look towards you. Just set it up (speed to 0 so it doesn't move, don't make it shoot the player, ...) and parent the prop_dynamic to the tank.

But func_tank is not working in TF2 D:
Any other way?

do npcs even work in tf2? the animations sure, but the ai and behaviour?

well. will check to find a solution. i have a similar problem. i set up a mirror hall where the npcs sneak/rally to a point around a corner and are meant to wait for me. on idle they always turn into a default direction facing away from the edge where i am supposed to get to them to ambush me. quite stupid. i mean I can fix the code but tf2 doesn't.
