I'm writing my own game engine and was just wondering how other engines did it. I know that source engine is pretty stale by now, but it's one of the most heavily modded and ubiquitous engines in gaming history, so I figure there may still be some worthwhile precedent in it.
I know Garry's Mod uses Lua scripts, but how were AI/Weapon Behavior/Enemy types/etc. coded? Just baked in to the C++/some kind of DLLs so you didn't have to rebuild the entire engine every time?

VScript
I don't think valve used vscripts to code AI, weapons, entities, etc. in source 1 games though
In C++ in the server.dll project (though maybe newer games make use of vscripts?).
Certainly all of Half-Life 2's enemies are programmed in C++.
