Introduction
Version : V 4.5
I wasn't happy with all the other ABSs, so I made this ABS with many features and customizable as possible.

I've also made a different ABS called ABS Lite. The difference is that the ABS Lite reduces lag by alot but it does not have Event Vs. Event. ABS Lite

Strategies

Code:

# The ABS can be used to setup wars and make fights between NPCs. Imagination is
# the limit.
# The events do not need to attack the player. Just remove the 0 from the hate
# group list.
#
# You can make an event a dummy, it can still be attacked, but it won't retaliate.
# This is usefull for practices, or teacing the player how to fight. It can also
# be used for NPC's.
#
# Make allias for the player. Remove the 0 from the hate group list and add all
# the monsters(their Enemy IDs, database) on the map. The allias won't
# follow the player or anything but they would attack other monsters giving
# the effect of allince.
#
# Monster Pit Fights can also be made.

Enemy AI

Code:

# 0 = Dummy - Will not attack but can be attacked
# 1 = See Range - Will attack only if it can see an enemy
# 2 = Hear Range - WIll attack only if it can hear an enemy
# 3 = Hear or See Range - Will attack if it can see or hear enemy
# 4 = Ally Under Attack - Will attack if its ally is under attack and if it can

Enemy Explanation

Code:

# Hate Points - The enemy will randomly give out hate points to all of it's enemies.
# Later, it's enemies will be ordered from most to least hate points.
#
# Hate Groups - The enemy will attack hate groups, meaning other enemies.
# The hate group enemies aren't considered allies.
# The player's hate id is 0.
# Do not use the event ID, use the Monster ID, you can find it
# in the Database, Enemies Tab.
#
# Closest Enemy - The enemy will attack the closest enemy, if met the right AI
# conditions. Hate points are no longer needed, if this BOOLEAN
# is true.
