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

Settings

The entity has quite a number of settings built into it, these though are probably the most important ones:

• Subject - The NPC receiving the relationship change (!Player will work as well).
• Target - 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

• Name - Essential if you plan to toggle this entity in-game.
• Radius for Subject - ????
• Start Active - Whether the relationship should start active or not (defaults to False).
