Faction Dialog

Factions determine how actors react to one another and how they react when another member in the same faction is attacked. For instance, if you have NPC01 and NPC02 in the same faction allied to one another, attacking one of them will cause the other to attack. Otherwise, if they aren't in any factions, they'll stand by and do nothing.
