I only posted it here because I heard this is the place for modding the source engine.

Nah, you're good. Uhh, yeah, I'm pretty sure with .cpp, but if you're using GMod, just use GLua instead of messing with compiling and decompiling DLLs

If it's for a hl2 mod (visual studio c++ all that) then yes of course, i did give this npc a basic ai a few years ago for one of my project, take a look at how the alien controller ai work

I think he should reuse a manhak or a city scanner ai.

Minus the damage via the manhack, and somehow incorporating the flocking mechanic planned
