# MonsterAIRule

<mark style="color:green;">Temporarily switches the AI profile of a monster class when a time- or event-based condition is met (e.g., a monster becomes more aggressive only during a specific date/time window, or while the Crywolf event is active). The default file is empty—no rules are configured.</mark>

### <mark style="color:yellow;">Notes</mark>

* Only three conditions are supported (`1`, `71`, and `72`)—it is not possible to create a new condition simply by editing this file.
