monster_archer #

An archer fish - an alien creature cut from Half-Life. Designed similar to how it’s made in the mods Thrill and Reprocessing, but also supports the original model available in Half-Life.

The monster utilizes the melee (bite) attack and the short range lightning attack.

Skill variables #

• sk_archer_health - monster’s health.
• sk_archer_dmg_bite - bite damage.
• sk_archer_dmg_zap - zap damage (unlike Thrill where the damage is applied twice, this will be applied once).
• sk_archer_delay_zap - the minimum delay before the next attack after using a zap attack. This is [2.5, 7.0] range by default.
