Playable monsters
So, what exactly does setting -FRIENDLY on a player actor do? From what I know, you already could have playable monsters, as in, add a monster AI function like A_Chase into appropriate state and viola, you have it.

Re: Playable monsters
Well, what is the question? You want to play as monster?
If so, that's not a matter of only one flag...

In case you miss the very first sentence ending with a question mark, here is it:

Re: Playable monsters
No, I have not missed the very first sentence. But the thread's name implies that you want to have playable monster. But in the thread, you are asking completely different questin. Maybe you should change the thread name to be less confusing.

Re: Playable monsters
Setting -FRIENDLY simply changes the player's "team" to monster. It does not add AI calls to the player's states, nor does it turn them brown and grow spikes everywhere - you have to provide that yourself if you want it.
In coop games this means the player is killable even with teamdamage on and the kills count as a frag. Normal monsters will also ignore the player, until hit first, and friendly monsters will try to kill the player.
This feature was asked for sometime earlier this year.
