What are Friends For?

Have a question, suggestion, or comment about Aleph One's features and functionality (Lua, MML, the engine itself, etc)? Post such topics here.

In Anvil there are classifications of aliens as friends or enemies. Any particular monster or BoB can have friends as well as enemies. I assume that an enemy will shoot the selected character and if not checked as an enemy will ignore him. But if he's checked as a friend, what difference dose it make? Isn't a friend the same as an unchecked enemy? And what happens if a monster is checked as both? I suppose I could go to the trouble of doing an experiment to see, but it would require some time. Thanx,

Ken

Friend: if Monster X is friends with monster Y, X will not shoot at Y, even if Y shoots at X.

Both unchecked: X will only shoot at Y if Y shoots at X first.

Enemy: X will shoot at Y no matter what.
