How to Spawn Combine Elites (White Soldiers) in EP2??

[CaptinDirt]

I want to spawn them NOT IN GMOD, but in Episode 2. I know it's the combine_s, and there is no special code for spawning them. I have looked everywhere!
This is what I am talking about:

But is there ANY way of spawning them in Episode 2? Thanks. Possibly by spawning a already spawned one?

AFAIK there's no way to spawn them in unmodded HL2, EP1 or EP2. I've looked myself back when I used to mess about with the console myself.

I think you can alter Combine to use the Nova Prospekt skin using the "skin #" command, though I'm not possitive about that. I know for certain that you can change them to use the "shtogun soldier" skin in EP2 using that code.

If it is possible to make them use the Nova Prospekt skin, why not the Elite? And also what is the exact command you would use to change the skin, using this "Skin #" command?

Thanks though.

ent_fire [name of soldier] skin #
Where # is an integer number (0, 1, 2, etc.). Works on antlions in all games and soldiers in ep2. Not sure about hl2 soldiers though, but I think it does. I can't check right now because all my steam games are refusing to run (they're all on a PC not connected to the internet right now). The name of any soldier you spawn by default will be npc_combine_s.

You can name the soldiers whatever you like yourself with the
ent_setname [name]
command which names whatever you're pointing at.

You can also just use
ent_fire !picker skin #
Which will reskin whatever you're pointing at.

Also, when you're creating a soldier if you use
npc_create npc_combine_s [name]
it'll be named when you spawn it.

Why is it that you can't spawn them?

The npc_combine_s entity is the regular Combine, the Nova Prospekt guard and Elite all in one, and there's no way to specify which one you want when spawning.
