Oh, thank you. That really helps. To be honest, that would do it amazingly well for me. I need to factions fighting each other, so it's perfectly fine to have two hive minds hammering at each other using their puppets. Now here comes a possibly stupid question (since I haven't actually started out with the SDK yet, still writing down notes and planing things): The L4D code isn't available is it? None the less, thank you very much, that just gave me a new perspective on things.
