NPC and lightning

I was wondering if I want to make or add an enemies to my project which would be the best way of doing it, NPC or Bots? I want my enemies to have different ablities than the player(s) like maybe punch, bite, etc. Different actions than the playable characters. Also I'm using TGEA so is there any codes some one can direct me to. I tried some of the older one for TGE and they don't seem to work right so I'm look for a more up to date code, that show how/ or what the enemies class is and how to set it to the actions of punch or bite rather than shoot or the same actions as the player.
One last thing has lightning been intergrated in to TGEA yet! I know back in milestone 1 or 2 I think Josh made a resource but it didn't work for me. I wonder if anyone got it to work and how?

Thank

Kory
