It would be useful, actually. I took about 10 minutes to imp intangible
mobs, and we use a special MOB_PROG flag to represent its a special
program/script mob. We use this for such things as launchable grenades
in scripts attached to pulse rifles. The script loads a mob, and lets
the mob loose telling it the direction to travel and all. The mob heads
off in said direction, and after a total of 6 or so second, kaboom, there
goes the room. Of course, the player doesn't get any credit for the
kills (yet... :-), and its debateable if they should.
I imped it for mobprog purposes, but one could use it for whatever reason
they would want.
