: The problem is the rats are just a single side view, so you couldn't actually
: see them running around properly like the mothrids in Infinity.
: However, what you COULD do is have some monster who has no (or completely
: transparent) idle, movement, or death sprites, who is 0 units in diameter
: and so cannot be shot or killed or even run into, and who has only a melee
: attack, the sequence for which is the rats-across-your-face animation from
: PiD.
: That way, as far as the player can tell they're wandering around the level
: and OH SHIT RATS WTF where did they go?
I was thinking of doing that and will probably try it. I'll probably do a level with rat monsters and light triggers. The rats couldn't see in the dark, however, so is there a way to kind of make them blind? (so that the invisble rat monsters run around the level blindly and if they bump into you... well... we know what happens if they bump into you.
