Hi, @Abendlied !

After investigating a testing vanilla a bit, can say it's probably doesn't have "standup" mechanic in place, but instead npc switches to some routine. In case of combat: snapper fall -> resets ai-state -> sees player immediately -> starts attacking. And start of stack is what triggers npc to stanup. In case of 'random' fall: snapper(or other monster) returns back to ZS_MM_Rtn_Rest and returns to spawn point.

Also vanilla carefully assign C_Npc::wp for any npc, except the hero.

So I fix wp assignment and restarting AI-routine. Rest seem to work fine already. However note, that changes will be effective, when npc will fall next time, and won't affect npc's in saved games.
