78. Place the OBJ_Spider object room somewhere between the dynamite pack and the
detonator.
79. Create a path for the spider to move back and forth to block the way. See Figure 10-10.
Creating a path was explained in earlier lessons. Name the path Path_Spider. Use your
cursor and the coordinate display to determine the location of the spider. Then, draw a path from
its current location to another location so the spider will cross where the player must travel. The
path you create may be different from what is shown in Figure 10-10 if you place the spider in a
different location. To get the spider to move along the path, you now need to program it to do so.
80. Open the Object Properties dialog box for the OBJ_Spider object.
