I’m making a mod and I am wanting to make an enemey that doesn’t get slowed down over tiles like rails, tables, window, etc. Basicly a parkour based enemy.

Flying enemies aren’t slowed by terrain as far as I’m aware, not sure if that would help.

It is a start. Perhaps I should do that…

New idea! Give it the parkour trait!

I wasn’t aware non-NPC entities could have traits. If you can do that then it should accomplish what you want pretty easily.

Traits are not available for monsters. You can look through the [monster flags](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/blob/2169375ccbe30afe7fbf9725c54f672b326a060e/doc/JSON_FLAGS.md#flags-6) and see if there’s a flag that suits your creature 😉
