[not a bug]Suicidal monsters make mosnters attack each other

I have a suicidal mosnter in my mod, and it basically goes into it's death state, which has a A_Explode in it, for it's melee attack and then disappears. I spawned a friendly version of this via console. There were 4 caco demons attack me, but when my friendly monster collided with one of them and damaged all 4 with the bang, the other 3 started to attack the one that was the initial target of the friendly kamikaze-er. What's going on there? o_o. I've tested this on a bunch of other monsters too, No idea whats going on.

Your suicidal monster got killed by the cacodemon and hurt the other cacos - which then retaliated against the thing they think attacked them. This is not a bug. You just happened to do something that can't work with Doom's enemy targetting system

Hm...so Suicide counts as getting killed by the target...i see. o_o OH well. Nothing that changes the game much anyway.
