Behavior controllable with XML
Designing custom AI for creatures in Caves of Qud typically requires scripting with C#, however, there is a limited set of changes you can make to a creature's behavior through XML only.
The Brain part
Brain is the primary part in charge of granting sentience to creatures in Caves of Qud. It is required to give an object goals and perform actions autonomously in the game.
In XML, Brain supports multiple parameters that can be used to influence creature behavior:
| Brain attribute | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Wanders | Wanders="true"
|
Whether, absent any goals, a creature will wander autonomously or simply stay still in its current location. |
| MaxWanderRadius | MaxWanderRadius="6"
|
When idly wandering, the maximum distance that a creature will go from its starting point. This is primarily used by  pigs to control their maximum wander distance.
|
| Factions | Factions="Snapjaws-100"
|
|
| Hostile | ||
| Calm | ||
| Aquatic | Aquatic="true"
|
Used by fish and other aquatic creatures to force them to live in water. |
| LivesOnWalls | LivesOnWalls="true"
|
Used by vines creatures such as  favilink and  jilted lovers to force them to occupy and navigate between wall tiles.
