Combine MindHacks
What are those? Short story:
Combine has realised that capturing humans and turning them into stalkers/soldiers isn’t very effective. It costs too many resources. Combine’s engineers has developed a device, able to take control of thier victims and turn them into Combine allies. After many tests, it came out that new Weapon is even able to turn any nonhuman life form into mindless slave. Device is being applied by dropping it on a victim. After that, patient’s head being smashed and replaced with synthetic brain. After application, device cannot be removed. Any attempt to remove the device will kill the patient. If host die, they will disconnect from his body and search for an new one if the first one was not killed by headshot. So aim for the head 😛
DEV NOTE: You can also apply the device on the victim by setting NWBool "MindHack:SetNWEntity("CMHOwner", NPC)". Device will automatically attach on him.
