new BHell_Enemy_Probe()
Probe enemy class. Switches between two states: moving and shooting. In the first state it moves in a straight line towards a random point on screen and never shoots, in the second state it shoots without moving. Due to the moving behavior, it's impossible for it to leave the screen.
Additional parameters:
- shooting: length (in frames) of the shooting phase (the moving phase length depends on the distance from the randomly chosen point).

- Overrides:
- Source:
isOutsideMap() → {boolean}
Checks if the enemy has left the map, but only after it has appeared on screen to avoid triggering the enemy's destruction when it's just spawned.
The controller relies on this method to destroy enemies, so enemies which shouldn't be destroyed when leaving the map should always return false.
- Inherited From:
- Source:
Returns:
True if the enemy has appeared on the screen and is currently outside the screen.
- Type
- boolean
move()
Moves the enemy and all its emitters, delegating the calculations to its mover.
- Inherited From:

shoot(t)
Enables/disables shooting for every emitter (but only if the player is ready to move).
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
t |
True to enable shooting, false otherwise. |
