Latest update: v.0.8.5 - 22.05.2014

I work on some new asset based on this article so let me share some progress I made.

It's still unfinished, as you can see -
there is placeholder animations and AI knows only basic actions, but it's fun I guess.

SUPER SPIDER FEATURES:
- spider can bite or shoot spider web (but there will be only bite version for now - you can make your own ranged version If you wish)
- can jump from ceiling to floor or from ceiling back to wall
- can use only one cell high wall - it moves in 1/2 of the standart cell high
- can be used in any "standard" wallset - make your own spiders lair wallset if you wish
- can move across the pit using ceiling or wall
- can clib between levels using pits or ceiling shafts (o hide itself there for a while)
- can jump from wall to floor or ceiling and change direction during jump
- can jump from ceiling to the floor and change direction during jump
- in general spider can read environment in some way, so he can make some "smart decissions" and perform "special" actions
- you can use as many spiders you want but they are deadly as hell
- super spider asset is a "plugin" - no aditional scripting or stuff like that - just add "super_spider_main" monster into your scene

Most impressive.

Is the spider jumping from floor to walls? I think it would look better if it were walking from floor to walls.

Would be cool if it could climb webs too. And perhaps a large web, maybe 2 x 2 or 3x 3 squares large, both vertical and horizontal.

Needs a video (or did I miss it posted somewhere?). I've played with this [tested it out] and it really is as cool as it sounds.

I hope to use it in my EOB mod; but the pit-passing behavior might be problematic with the maps... I'll have to look closely at it.

I see what's happening here... For some [browser security] reason I'm not seeing video tags in certain forum software. I can see it now that I have viewed the page source and pasted the URL in a new window.
