	Even if you're starting your map from scratch, at map start the game will always load a set of default relationships from the entityDef '''atdm:team_relations_default'''. Any relationships not defined in there are automatically made enemies ''between'' teams and friends ''within'' teams (members of Team 2 are friendly to other members of Team 2).		Even if you're starting your map from scratch, at map start the game will always load a set of default relationships from the entityDef '''atdm:team_relations_default'''. Any relationships not defined in there are automatically made enemies ''between'' teams and friends ''within'' teams (members of Team 2 are friendly to other members of Team 2).

	Most relations defined within '''atdm:team_relations_default''' work both ways. So if Team A is set to regard Team B as friendly then Team B also regards Team A as friendly, unless there is a specific asymmetric relationship defined.

	To let relationships change during runtime, you can use triggers or scripts. There is a trigger entity called '''~~target_tdm_setrelations~~''' which can hold the same type of relationship spawnargs as described above. To activate these settings, just trigger this entity. Note that you can even trigger this entity multiple times, so you can re-use it, if you ever wanted to.		To let relationships change during runtime, you can use triggers or scripts.

	Mappers can change the team of individual AI entities by setting the ''team'' property to a new value but this is generally for special situations where for example, an individual(s) from one team is meant to have 'joined' another group. But to change the relationship ''between'' teams, eg, two normally friendly teams become enemies or vice versa, see the following sections.
