Here's a little something I'm using on my mud.  Seems to work :)
Thanks to all the boys and girls who release code, 'tis much appreciated.

Should be pretty self explanatory.  If you have trouble, I might help you
out if I'm in a good mood.  I ask 2 things if you decide to use this code:

1) some kind of credit in a helpfile somewhere
2) if you make any improvements, etc, send 'em along to me :)


Here's a little additional info before you go to all the trouble of saving
the attachment...

get_mem_data() is designed to pull a specific memory from ch, 
namely, the memory referring to target.  It is used by most of
the other functions included.
 
mob_remember() is used to set the memory of ch regarding target.
Use in fight.c like:
mob_remember(ch, victim, MEM_HOSTILE);
... to make 'ch' hostile to 'victim'.
 
mem_fade() is basically a memory update function.  I've 
arbitrarily chosen 4 mud-days as the amount of time it takes 
for a mob to forget a victim.  (It turns out that players 
don't particularly care for mobs that remember them for a week 
of Real Time, tho' us imp types might find it hilarious ;)
You'll probably get some errors if you haven't implemented that
track code...  I don't recall off-hand who did it, but whoever 
it was, thanx :)
 
mob_forget() strips 'memory' from 'ch'.  Prolly should use
get_mem_data() to pick out which memory to strip...
 
 
This code, or something similar, should be added to aggr_update()
            /* Trilby sez:  ACK! He found me! */
            if ( IS_NPC(ch) && can_see(ch, wch) )
            {
                MEM_DATA *remember;
                if ( (remember = get_mem_data(ch, wch)) != NULL)
                {
                    if ( IS_SET(remember->reaction, MEM_AFRAID)
                      && IS_SET(ch->act, ACT_WIMPY)
                      && ch->wait < PULSE_VIOLENCE / 2
                      && number_bits(2) == 1)
                        do_flee(ch, "self");
                    if ( IS_SET(remember->reaction, MEM_HOSTILE)   
                        && ch->fighting == NULL )
                        multi_hit(ch, wch, TYPE_UNDEFINED);
                }
            }
