You can't, the models are preset during mapping, not ingame.

pwned. he probs only joined to ask that question =P

You can't change the model but you can make citizens act as medics. They won't have the clothes, but they'll dispence health.

It's something like (when pointing at a rebel)
ent_fire !picker setmedic

or something. The exact command should be listed out if you type in
ent_info npc_citizen

BTW, the above code will list the codes available for the ent_fire command for any npc type. Just replace "ent_info npc_citizen" with "ent_info npc_combine_s" or whatever. To use them you type
ent_fire [name of npc] [name of code]

So

ent_fire fish ignite
Will cause any object named fish to catch fire.

If you use "!picker" as the name it will do the effect to whatever your crosshairs are point at. If you use "!player" it will affect yourself.

A cool command is "setsquad X" (Where X is the name of the squad). If you spawn a bunch of rebels or combine soldiers and name them all joe (this can be done by putting the word joe at the end of the spawn code, ie, "npc_create npc_citizen joe" or by pointing at an already spawned npc and using the code "npc_setname joe") you can put them in a single squad with the code

ent_fire joe setsquad awesome

Now all the joes are in a squad named awesome and this means that if one member of the squad sees an enemy, all the rest of the squad will instantly know that it's there. This makes npcs work together much more effectivly, especially combine. I find it handy for zombies too.

Unbeleivable.

Someone else than me knows the basics of ent_ commands.

I once set up a cinematic bridge explosion and collapse in gmod. That took ages.

Do you have a video?

No
I lost the save file when I got my new hard dirve too. It was a series of the combine bridge models connected in a line. When you're press a certain button a stream of explosions would run along through the bridge and then it'd collapse into the water. It was going to be part of a huge fort I was building, but I never completed it.
