Light Shy Creatures
version 1.00

This ERF includes six scripts for the AI system, three scripts for the light tracking system that the AI needs to work efficiently, and an example creature that exhibits the light shy begavior. For the creature, see the "Light Shy Spider" in the creature palette under Custom : Monsters : Insects : Spiders.

The purpose of this system is to make certain creatures shy of light sources carried by the PC. This version is rudimentary and functions best in areas that are completely dark.

Possibilities for future development include adding sensitivity to day/night, tile sources of light, and placeable light sources.
