Berzerk Monsters

Is there a way to drive monsters berzerk, i.e. make them attack each other on site, as well as the player? Or is there a way to simulate this in Decorate? I'd like one of my monsters to attack any available targets on site, if possible.

Well, I don't think there's any way to combine attacking monsters and attacking players, because it seems a monster has to be friendly or unfriendly. Thing_Hate with types 1 and 3 may work, but with them the monster will take preference to attacking the targets over the player. You can give a TID to the player as well, though. But that may be a bit bulky and will require ACS.
You can try to simulate this behavior by occasionally setting a FRIENDLY flag on and off for this monster.

Really? How is it bulky?

I said "may be"
I'm not much of an ACS artist myself so my scripts are often bulky. Giving TID to the player is easy. But I don't know if it would all work fine that easily. But it is definitely the way to start. May turn out to be very simple.

I actually asked this same question not too long ago, in a way.
