How can I activate monsters in cooperative.
Hello. I'm new here and I don't know if this is the right area for this post or not.
When I spawn a friendly monster in cooperative it does not activate or move automatically. In a deathmatch game when I spawn friendly monsters it activates and moves automatically & this is offline too. Is there a way to change this?

If you fire your weapon, or if the friendly monster sees a hostile monster, the friendly monster should wake up.
EDIT: It would be counterproductive to fire your weapon at the friendly monster to wake it up. I won't turn hostile, but it would be less helpful because you injured it. It only needs you hear you fire your weapon (even your fist), or see an enemy.

I'm trying it out right now and the monster is not responding the hostile part he is but shooting at it or making sounds does not is not.
I remember in skulltag in cooperative mode once you spawn a friendly monster it will automatically respond or activate without shooting at it or any hostiles, but in zandronum the monster does not do none of that at all except for the hostile part.

It looks like you are right. A monster summoned with the friendsummon command will remain inactive until it sees an enemy or it enters its pain state.

Re: How can I activate monsters in cooperative.
Not that I know of. Maybe if you create a custom monster with the +FRIENDLY flag and summon that, or make a custom weapon that spawns the custom friendly monster, and then again maybe not.
If somebody else knows the answer, please join the conversation!

spawn a friendly monster and then spawn a hostile one infront of it. iirc, friendly monsters will roam once awoken. unless i’m mistaken and they go dormant again after all visible targets are dead.
i dunno try it. otherwise you can always make some simple DECORATE replacements to create a friendly version of an existing monster that will continually roam without needing to be attacked first. I would recommend flags -STANDSTILL and +LOOKALLAROUND.

@Aenima I'm testing the -standstill and +lookallaround right now and no luck at all its not responding and I also try the flags separately but nothing happened.
You know I'm just curious about something does anybody else have this same problem like me?

You could also try making the Spawn state jump right to the See state instead of looping, eliminating the need for A_Look completely.

@AEnima the spawn state jump to the see state actually worked the monster is responding like it should so I don't know how to give high fives in a text form but it works and I thank you and @Empyre for helping me figuring this out.
