Relationships are what NPC characters use to know whether they should attack or not. the entity "ai_relationship" will adjust an NPC character's relations with the Player (referred to as !Player in Hammer)or another NPC character.

The entity has a number of settings built in, these though are the important ones: Subject(s) - The NPC receiving the relationship change (!Player will work also). Target(s) - The target the picked NPC will change relationships with (!Player also works). Disposition - Type of relationship, Hate / Neutral / Like / Fear. Reciprocal - If true it will mirror the relationship to the Target, basically turning the Target's relationship with the Subject to whatever has been set.

Other settings: Name - Essential if you plan to turn this on / off during game. Radius for Subject - ???? Start Active - Whether the relationship should start active or not. (default FALSE)

-The Rebels (humans, vortiguants etc.)
-The Zombies (headcrabs etc.)
-And of course, The Antlions.
-In HAMMER you can modify a NPC's Relationship with the AI_Relationship entity, you select the NPC or NPC Entity (npc_metropolice,npc_zombie etc.) to change and who its' attitude towards will change. you choose from four different attitudes: Like, Neutral, Hate, Fear.
-Like: NPC will not attack and will help.
+By Rasirez.
-Neutral: NPC will not attack unless attacked (i'm not sure entirely on this!!)
-Hate: Will attack until the enemy is killed or lost,
-Fear: NPC will back away from the Player or NPC and will not attack.
-That sums up the basics,
