Like the title sais. has anyone given this a try? I need a monster brain that steals "torches" and then runs away with them

Steals from the party? (..or just any torch on the wall , or on the ground?)

That sounds like a job for a custom monster brain and some action component experimenting.

Basically it should take BrainComponent:performAction(...) for the torch theft followed by BrainComponent:startFleeing() and BrainComponent:flee() to run off. Now the tricky part seems the specific target of the theft. The MonsterStealWeaponComponent as used by frogs will grab a random in-hand weapon so it's prolly not what you want. Maybe MonsterPickUpItemComponent supplied with a torch id held by the party?

If you want it to steal from the party, you can take a look at the Imps code in my asset pack
If you want it to steal from objects such as torch holders or altars, follow Dr.Disaster lead

Thanks for your quick replies. I want it to steal from the party (like the gigglers did in dungeon master)
I will have a look at your imp code zimber

I assume you're focusing on stealing torches to reduce visibility for the player, but don't forget there are other ways of obtaining a light source, which might render those monsters obsolete. (Light spell, that orb that casts the light spell, something custom you might have)
