Drones are a type of enemy in the N games. There are five different types of drones:
- Zap and Chase drones,
- Laser drones,
- Chaingun drones, and
- Pulse drones.
Movement[]
Every drone moves in one of six movement patterns, which are pre-set for each drone:
- Wander clockwise,
- Wander counter-clockwise,
- Surface-follow clockwise,
- Surface-follow counter-clockwise,
- Alternating clockwise, and
- Alternating counter-clockwise
Wandering: The drone moves linearly until it reaches a surface, where it would either turn clockwise or counter-clockwise, and moves linearly in that new direction.
Surface-following: The drone moves clockwise or counter-clockwise around a surface, keeping one side against the surface at all times.
Alternating: Similar to Wandering, except when the drone reaches a surface, it will only turn either clockwise or counter-clockwise.
