Or are they always random?

Thanks

Firstly, i cannot say for certain as i do not recall trying this. I don't think they can though (to test it, just add some path nodes and see if they can follow them - if it doesn't work with this test then it can't be done).

All is not lost if you cannot get them to follow the pathnodes though! You can always make a custom enemy from the critter by adjusting the entity type. You will probably need to mess around renaming the animations and perhaps adding some dummy ones in the entity file (you shouldn't need to do any modeling stuff though unless you want your critter to attack, which it doesn't have the animations for!). You will then need to configure the enemy variables so it has the same hitbox and speed of the critter. Getting all this configured right will probably be a bit of a slog and take some time - but it will work eventually.
After adding your enemy-critter to the map you will need to disable enemy triggers through scripting so that the critter doesn't start chasing the player instead of following path nodes.
