That's helpful. I got it working. I think my problem was that I was
editing the map on one system and then copying it over to my server, but
somehow I missed the update so the server had an old copy.
But knowing how it works is great. In this case, the value of 3 is
alright, but I might want to tweak it, so I'll probably change the code
to let it be dynamic:
help_radius = object_get_value(op,"help_radius");
if ( !help_radius ) help_radius = 3;
I think with that, I can set 'help_radius 5' or whatever to a particular
creature to make it yell louder when attacked.
That's not quite as good as having a monster get angry from seeing
combat near it, even if it didn't start near it, but it will do.

I'm trying to create some monsters that aren't aggressive until they see

What do I do to make them more trigger happy, but content to stand still
and chat most of the time?
How close are these unaggressive monsters to the monster you attack?
When an unaggressive monster is attacked, it calls
monster_npc_call_help() in server/monster.c. It currently has
help_radius set to 3, so monsters too far away will not notice.
Is this consistent with what you observe?
