NPCs in CSS?

[gomer]

Hello everbody,

I would like to know if there's a possiblity / knowledge to create NPC's in CSS.  

There's possiblity to create some NPC's in GMOD10, it would be cool if that could be done in CSS. Like acting as pedestrians, animals, etc.

I've found some commands to create npcs, but the list is very large and there's no any good example to do it. Do anyone know a good example?

One possibility might be to create a map with npc's in Valve Hammer, although that might be for Half-Life: 2 Single-player only. You can always add bots, if simply fake players is what you are looking for, or you could search manimod forums for an addon that will add npc's to your server.
