Notes
- When the Role is set to NPC and there is no NPC Type assigned then the NPC faction would be idle and will not be able to make any actions. This can be useful in some cases where you want to test something against a pre-planned structure of a NPC faction that remains unchanged.
- When there is no faction slot that has Is Local Player field enabled then the player will not be able to control any of the faction entities in the game. This can be useful when you want to simulate the behavior of NPC factions playing exclusively against one-another without the intervention of the player.
