Behaviors

The Behaviors screen is where you configure everything about how a citizen acts in the world — from how they move and fight, to what animations they play and whether they can die.

Opening Behaviors

To open the Behaviors screen, go to Edit Citizen → Behaviors in the Quick Actions section.

Attitude

Attitude controls how the citizen reacts to nearby players. There are three options:

AttitudeBehavior
Passive The citizen completely ignores players. It will never engage in combat, even if attacked.
Neutral The citizen only attacks players who attack it first. It will defend itself but won't initiate.
Aggressive The citizen attacks players on sight.
⚠️

Attitude Requires Wander Movement

Attitude only has an effect when the citizen's Movement Type is set to Wander. A citizen set to Idle will not engage in combat regardless of Attitude setting.

Takes Damage

This toggle controls whether the citizen can take damage from players at all. When disabled, the citizen is completely invulnerable — attacks pass through without effect. When enabled, the citizen can be hurt and killed.

Override Health

When enabled, you can set a custom maximum health value for the citizen. The health input accepts values from 1 to 1,000,000,000. Leave this disabled to use the entity type's default health.

Override Damage

When enabled, you can set a custom damage amount for the citizen's attacks. Leave this disabled to use the entity type's default damage.

Respawn on Death

When enabled, the citizen will respawn automatically after being killed. You can set a Respawn Delay (in seconds) to control how long after death the citizen reappears. The citizen respawns at its original spawn location.

Movement Type

Choose how the citizen moves around the world. See Movement & Patrol for a full explanation of each type and all available settings.

TypeBehavior
Idle The citizen stays in place and does not move.
Wander The citizen walks around randomly within a configurable radius. Required for Attitude to work.
Patrol The citizen follows a named patrol path with defined waypoints.

Animations

The Animations section lists all animation behaviors configured for this citizen. Click Add Animation to add a new one, or use the Edit and Delete buttons on each entry. See Animations for a full walkthrough of the animation editor.

The Advanced Configuration section at the bottom of Behaviors provides access to four specialized sub-screens:

ButtonWhat it Configures

Death Config Item drops, messages to the killer, and commands triggered when the citizen dies. See Death Configuration.
Tip: Click Done at the bottom of the Behaviors screen to save all changes and respawn the citizen with the updated configuration. Clicking Cancel returns to the Edit Citizen screen without saving Behaviors changes.
