well, what i wanted to do was make new npc items for, say, ordinators or something, and some new creature items for daedra or something, then placing them all in a cell, going in-game and see the carnage. problem is, idk how else to direct the ai of these people other than to make them attack me. what i was wondering is, if there's any way in the cs or in-game how i can get them to attack eachother? thx

yea you can just use this command in a script

"Npcid1"->startcombat, "NPCid2"
"NPcid2"->startcombat, "NPcid1"

I dont know exactly how you would do that in a simple way though for like group a attacks groub b.

This can be done with some scripts on the NPCs.
http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?id=6083&view=Mods.Detail has a section on this (and lots of other useful info on scripting)

And http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=utilities.detail&id=58 has some example scripts on making NPCs fight each other.
