Your [[NPCs]] need an AI to act. Fortunately for you, the AI class already defines everything that is needed, see the table.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Part !! Explanation
|-
| name || the name that the self:runAI() function will call
|-
| function(self) || Where you put what the AI does
|}

Even better, your new AI can call another new AI (or one of the preexisting ones).

<pre>
newAI("morale_flee", function(self)
if self.morale_life then
if self.life < self.morale_life then
if not self.energy.used then self:runAI("flee_dmap") end
end
end
end)
</pre>

Now if you call self:runAI("morale_flee") - preferably in another AI definition such as "dumb_talented_simple" (or your "newfangled_AI") and '''NOT''' in NPC.lua - your creatures will flee if reduced below their morale_life value.
