monster_alien_controller - Point Entity

These floating creatures are part of Nihilanth's military forces, acting as controllers and overseers. They are able to launch volleys of small energy balls from their hands, or, at closer range, larger homing balls from their heads. Their constant evasive maneuvering and tendency to stay at a distance can make them difficult to hit. They are rarely found alone, and often work operate together with alien grunts and slaves.

Note: Alien controllers need a quite big room to be able to move. If the room they´re in is too small, they wont move, even if info_node_airs are placed.

	Health	Zap damage	Homing ball damage	Homing ball speed
Easy	60	3	15	650
Medium	60	4	25	800
Hard	100	5	35	1000
