It wasn't hard, I'll post my code. Basically I would slowly turn them towards the most interesting thing they could see each time they hopped.

This thing can be done in cubes for the noobs (I don't know the actual name) the Frankenstein turret will go through the lasers,hence,deactivating the laser fields.

I love how you say that isn't hard , shows how experienced you are!

As for the cube's though, they shouldn't be able to trigger the button, there's a trigger around it which forces the cube from the "monster" state, to the "cube" state. Somehow the frankenturret glitched onto the button I guess
