[yuriman]

Hi
Im trying to spawn a ragdoll at a certain pos on the map and make it stand in a normal postion, standing up, looks forward and has his arms and hands down.

Possibly?

Well there is a console command for this, not sure if it will help

ent_fire yourent setanimation animationname

You can find the animation name in hammer. For more info look at this vid at around 2:45

Why not just spawn a NPC?

[yuriman]

i want to make this.
Spawn maybe a NPC with unlimeted health.
The NPC cant move it just stands on one place.
when i press E on it, it will pop up a derma screen.
Do anyone know how to do this.
im not asking u to do it just asking for help.

Well to make it open a derma menu you would use the ENT:Use and make the client run a console command which opens the menu. So something like this

[lua]
ENT:Use(activator, caller)
activator:ConCommand("yourconcommand")
end

[/lua]

Clientside you would then have the derma and a console command called "yourconcommand".

To make it have unlimited health I think that you can return false on ENT:OnTakeDamage, or just use ENT:SetHealth(99999999999).

To make the npc just use
[lua]
ents.Create("npc_citizen")
[/lua]

Not sure how to make it not move though, maybe set it's schedule to nil or something, I haven't tried anything with NPCs before so I don't know.

By the way are you making an NPC shop? Lots of people have been doing that recently.

Usermessages are so much better for this than a console command
