level.medic = level.friendly4
// From now on ' level.friendly4 ' will be know throughout the script as ' level.medic '.
// From memory - I think all original game scripts give their level.friendly# a name to use in the script.
// I've only changed the level.friendly4 for this example
// This certainly makes sence especially for enteties used often thourghout the script
// as one can change the target name of an entety in the map and update the enitre script with a single line
// otherwise a scriptwise edit would be needed and on a large script.... oooyyyyyyy yo yo yoy

// more info on these can also be found in the DOCS/AI tips.doc file that come with MoHHA Tools
// A note about midist & maxdist usage :
// By the use of both of these settings together you can control how the ai will react to it's enemy.
// whether he runs away or towards it,
// In this example script I have set both MINDIST & MAXDIST lower - this forces the Ai to run close to it's attack target.
// MINDIST
// How close the enemy/target gets to the AI before he starts retreating.
// set this higher if you wish for the AI to always stay far away from the enemy it's targetting
// MAXDIST
// Once the AI's enemy/target is outside this distance he will move towards it.
