Objective mode supports non player characters via the 'KF_StoryNPC' pawn.  These pawns can be placed by the level designer and hooked up to Scripted Sequences to do things like walk around, or attack stuff.  See [http://udn.epicgames.com/Two/ExampleMapsScriptedSequencesRT.html this] link for a comprehensive tutorial on creating Scripted Sequences and associating them with pawns.

Saving An Objective Mode map is the same as saving a Killing Floor map (it needs to go in the KillingFloor\Maps\  folder),  There is one key difference, however. ''You must save your map with the 'KFO' prefix.'''  If you don't do this, It won't show in the list of Objective mode maps in the game.  ie.  "KFO-MyAwesomeMap"  vs.  "KF-MyAwesomeMap" Prefixes are very important in Killing Floor because they dictate which game mode is associated with a given map.  If you use the wrong prefix you're essentially telling the game to attempt to load the wrong set of gameplay rules, and at best your map will probably not work. At worst, it may even crash on load.
