NPC faction-assist question
 

I have a question regarding newly created npc faction and the assist part of it. Thanks to the wiki on github, I was able to learn all about creating new factions for custom npc's and was quite successful at making it all work, except for one little part I am stuck on. I have a few custom guard type npc's with a new faction assigned to them. If I kill one, it gives me the intended faction hit. The problem I am having is getting other npc's on the same faction to assist when I aggro one. Even when the others are standing right beside the one I attacked. I have aggroradius and assistradius both set to 70 and in the npc_faction_entries I have it set to 1. I tried -1 (attack) as well, neither of them make a difference. The base faction I have on them is only apprehensive, so they need to be aggro'd but I just can't get their friends to assist. Thank you.
