Enemies are hostile entities that the player must avoid or interact with. They are placed on block sides and configured with specific behaviors and interactions.

​
Placing Enemies

  1. Left-click a block side to select it
  2. Press O to open the Enemies Pool
  3. Select an enemy template from the grid — it is placed on the selected side
  4. The enemy appears with a direction arrow indicating its initial orientation
If an enemy already exists on the selected side, pressing O opens the Element Properties menu for that enemy.

​
Removing Enemies

  1. Select the side with the enemy
  2. Press O to open the Enemies Pool
  3. Select the None option

​
Enemy Properties

​
Direction

Set the enemy’s initial facing direction:
  • North, East, South, West
The direction affects the enemy’s movement pattern and visual orientation.

​
Enemy Interactions

Press the Enemy Interactions button in the Element Properties menu to configure which hazards this enemy interacts with:
  • Opens a grid showing all available interaction types
  • Toggle each interaction on/off
  • Interactions define how the enemy responds to level hazards (lava, spikes, etc.)
  • Initial interactions are set automatically when the enemy is placed

​
Variables (Local Properties)

Enemies have template-defined variables accessible through the Local Properties menu:
  • Open with the Variables button in Element Properties
  • Properties are defined by the enemy’s template (e.g., speed, health, behavior flags)
  • Supports Integer, Float, String, Boolean, and Enum types

​
Script Attachment

Enemies can have Lua scripts attached with tags and local variables for custom behavior.

​
Global Enemy Management

The editor maintains a global EnemiesManager that tracks all enemies across all sections. When an enemy is placed or removed, the global manager is updated and the score info is recalculated.

​
Multi-Section Enemies

Like balls, enemies are associated with specific sections. Each section maintains its own enemy list, while the global manager tracks all enemies for score calculation and cross-section queries.
