monster_alien_tor #

Alien commander from Sven Co-op capable of spawning up to 3 alien grunts.

The Tor’s energy beam and slam attacks can launch enemies upwards, so make sure the player won’t access any unintended area with the help of these.

Skill variables #

• sk_tor_health - monster’s health.
• sk_tor_punch - melee damage.
• sk_tor_energybeam - damage per energy beam tick.
• sk_tor_sonicblast - maximum slam attack damage.
• sk_tor_lift_speed_ground - amount of vertical velocity to apply to the enemy on energy beam attack when enemy is on the ground. Default value is 200. This is usually higher than sk_tor_lift_speed to help lifting the target from the ground.
