A question regarding AI for morrowind, how to make NPCs attack creatures. Options

[jack cloudy]

Title says it all. I want to learn how to mod so I'v taken on a rather ambitious idea. Anyway, my question regarding AI.

What I want to do is make certain NPCs attack creatures on sight, similar to what a guard does when one of those annoying Cliffracers follows you into town. The only problem is, I have no idea what to do.

According to the help file of the Construction set, an NPC attacks creatures automatically if they're of the class 'guard'. Except, my NPCs are best described as mercenaries so I don't want them to arrest the player like a guard would for all sorts of crimes.

Does anyone know what makes a guard attack creatures? Any help would be very appreciated.

Go to character, then factions then have a look at some of the ones in there, I think it affects both disposition and attack rating; though to be honest I am just using logic, never tried it or learnt how to do it, try searching tutorials. There are buttons like evil and special combat which I don't really know what they do so perhaps tutorial is your best source.
