Monster brain

Hello everyone. I saw in the documentation about monsters that there is a value called "brain". I've tried to assign a spider the brain type "Tentacle". If I try to run the preview, the editor crashes.
Code: Select all
cloneObject{
name="strange_spider",
baseObject = "spider",
moveSound = "snail_walk",
health = 1,
sight = 5,
allAroundSight = false,
lootDrop = {100,"blue_gem"},
brain = "Tentacle",
}
¿Maybe i'm doing something wrong?
Greetings

Sounds like a science experiment done by some mad scientist: trying to insert the brain of a tentacle into a spider.
But seriously speaking, the different brains have not been designed to be interchangeable. There's a lot of hardcoded limitations and requirements, especially with the more "exotic" cases like tentacle or cube, so things probably won't work if those brains are not used with the original asset. If you want customized behavior from a monster, the best approach usually is to use the monster's scripting hooks.

We don't need brainy spiders...they've eaten enough of my party members already

Is there any quick way to make a passive monster that won't try to attack the player?

While we're on the subject, can monsters be instructed to attack anything apart from the party? I have blockages in mind.
