Tentacle from Unreal

Mod that adds an enemy based on Unreal's tentacles. It contains custom animations and AI.

Behaviour

• Spawns in the interiors of the moons in dispersed packs of 3.
• Once spawned it sticks to a ceiling or floor and shoots any players that get too close.
• Can be stunned when dealt damage.

Credits

• DreWulff (me!): Animating and coding.
  • Source code: LC-UnrealTentacle on github
• Legend Entertainment, Epic Games, Digital Extremes for the original concept and base assets of the creature.
• Based off of ExampleEnemy from @Hamunii.
  • Thanks for helping in the Lethal Company Modding Discord server too.
• Thanks to @XuXiaolan for his tutorial on making a custom enemy.
• Thanks to @Evaisa for LethalLib of course.
• Inspired by @DemonMae's mods based on Unreal and UT99.

ToDo

• Config file.

Future projects

• More Unreal:
  • Passive creatures like Nali cows and rabbits
  • Hostile creatures like Skaarj, Slith and Brutes
  • Moon (Maybe more than one. Who knows)
  • Scrap
• Original creatures, both hostile and passive.
• Maybe more stuff inspired/based on some of my favourite games, like:
  • Dungeon Siege
  • Grim Dawn
