How to make the Horseless Headless Horseman work on custom maps, primarily for maps where you want the HHH to run around well away from the CP.
Basic HHH logic:He will retreat toward the CP if no one is on the NAV mesh.
Default HHH search range is 1500 hammer units from the first active CP.
The model itself is less than 32 hammer units wide. (Very thin, smaller than a player, can be seen when he falls into cheval blue spawn)
.NAV file informationThese files are pretty simple to make, but depending on how complex the terrain is can take a while to create/alter. nav_generate will create a mesh and .NAV file in the tf/maps folder. It may create the mesh in an unintended area (eg pagoda blue spawn), can be fixed by using "ent_fire info_player_teamspawn kill" and then where you want the mesh to be generated, "ent_create info_player_teamspawn".
Valve dev wiki: Navigation Meshes
https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Navigation_MeshesThe HHH only cares about connected blocks, so you won't need any nav_jump or nav_ladder etc. Notable commands you will use: Nav_delete, nav_edit 1, nav_mark, nav_connect, nav_merge, nav_split, nav_splice, nav_connect, nav_disconnect, nav_generate, nav_analyze, nav_save, nav_begin_area and nav_end_area. That's really not a lot of commands to know, if you do not know what a command is for you can try typing into console "find <command>" or check the wiki page.
Plugins you will want: (None of these plugins require sv_cheats 1)

http://www.mediafire.com/?my376udmhs73e9jNotes:If the HHH has no target, he will run to the closest section of the mesh to the CP and sometimes will teleport out or directly to the CP.
No mesh, no HHH movement. If he over runs a part of the mesh he will attempt to turn back and get back on the mesh if possible.
Monoculus will skate along the ground unless there is mesh along the floor.
Monoculus will occasionally not shoot at all, my guess is that it is a range on the Z axis from the spawn point.
HHH commands are tf_halloween_bot_...
Monoculus commands are tf_eyeball_...
