Changing how monsters view other monsters

[Dridmar]

I'm using orcs and I want them to be hostile to a monster they're friendly to, how do you do that? I remember it was done on ww3d with the trolls and the skeletons.

Use the "Additional Parameters" (params) property in msmonster_xxx and add:
xxx_race

Where xxx is the desired race.

eg. demon_race = demon

{
//Set up race relationships for the game
//New races can be added here

Do not use "hated" - because they'll also attack each other, it serves primarily as an agro function (as "beloved" serves as the opposite.)
