Rewriting behaviors is a useful method for overwriting the behavior of certain classes used in units of which you don't have an easy way of rewriting the unit file. For example, this method can be used to modify or add functionality to the <code>Player</code> behavior. To do this, you will have to create a class and inherit it from the original behavior. So, for the <code>Player</code> example:

<pre>
class MyPlayer : Player
{
MyPlayer(UnitPtr unit, SValue& params)
{
super(unit, params);
}

void Update(int dt) override
{
Player::Update(dt);

// Do stuff!
}
}
</pre>

Then, in your scenario's [[info.xml]] file, add the following:

<pre>
<classmaps>
<behavior from="Player" to="MyPlayer" />
</classmaps>
</pre>

Now when you start your Scenario, <code>MyPlayer</code> will be used instead of <code>Player</code>.

The same can be accomplished for objects instantiated via <code>InstantiateClass</code> (for example the <code>Damage</code> effect), using the <code>script</code> tag. Gamemode classes can also be rewritten using the <code>gamemode</code> tag.

<pre>
<classmaps>
<script from="Damage" to="MyDamage" />
<gamemode from="Survival" to="MySurvival" />
</classmaps>
</pre>
