It is possible to create a UFO that actz like a spotlight. (one light stayz centered upon a tile while the other rotatez about) The way this workz is similar to the way Earth's moon has only one side facing it. The best path for making the tile coordinatez is shown in the diagram. 0=space 1-8=UFO waypoint path: 00210
30000
40008
00007
05600It is important for the UFO to travel counter-clockwise. The box of Face Dir should have 16000The box of Speed should have 2500These numberz will make a rather slow, but good centered circle. Feel free to experiment with smaller numberz to increase speed. Note that both numnberz will have to be decreased proportionatly. The faster the UFO goes, the more you must fine tune it to keep the outer cirlce path. Warning! With time your UFO will likely be distorted from itz correct path.  This is mainly because there should be a special proportion (close to the one above) that keepz the UFO aligned. What this proportion is I am unsure of  , I will likely look further into valuez some other time. |

UFOz set to a - Face Dir value (e.g.: -1) will not move! The UFO will have it'z lightz set horizontally and completely immobile, but they can still zap a grunt!
The UFO can still be made to move around the map, making for a dangerous corridor obstacle.
