They weren't supposed to cooperate with xenomorphs, however they will behave like normal Doom monsters in the original campaigns. In our custom maps, we'll try to make them fight each other as often is possible.

This is my proposed solution: a property that allows a monster to automatically hate another monster of the indicated species. Here's my example, in the theme of the above scenario:
ACTOR MarinePulseRifle : MarineChaingun
{
EnemySpecies "Xenomorph", "Predator"
}
ACTOR Xenomorph : Demon
{
EnemySpecies "Human", "Predator", "Synthetic"
}
And so on. So, when the marine meets the Alien, he will attack, and vice versa. Also, it would be preferable if the monsters would start fighting when they enter the player line of sight, so that the player would still be able to fight all of the monsters and not have most of them dead from the fight. However, this is not required.
Thanks.
