Authoring Custom Enemies

Movement Control Points

SoM has an interesting way of handling movement, which revolves around control points - you give the engine two control points in your file, C0 and '0,0,255', or what we'll be calling P0 from now on.

C0 is your target position - in an animation, it's where the enemy will be during that exact frame, P0 is used in calculations with C0 in order to determin the heading of the enemy. While a little complicated, you can use these two to choreograph very nice movement from enemies... Snakes which actually follow the path of the animation they have exactly, all sorts of cool things.
