In order for slimy slugs to appear in a level, the script must include a Slimy Slug Setup. Slimy slugs will enter a map only under the certain conditions defined in the NPL file.
There are two major varieties of slimy slug setups: one based on the amount of Rock Raiders the player has teleported, and the other based on the amount of energy crystals the player has collected. Note that these setups will only work if slimy slug holes are present on the level.
Attack Based on Rock Raider Count
This setup is the less dangerous of the two, and is primarily used to freak out the player. After the player has teleported a certain amount of Rock Raiders, slugs will start popping out of their holes randomly, sometimes attacking, sometimes diving back into their holes. This setup is comprised of this section of script:
TRUE ? SetR1 0GetMiniFiguresOnLevel > 8 ? AddR1 1GetRandom100 = 1 ? AddR1 1GetSlugsOnLevel = 0 ? AddR1 1GetR1 = 3 ? GenerateSlug
In this case (taken from Rock Hard) after the player has teleported more than 8 Rock Raiders, a slug is generated. When encrypted, this section translates to:
01 00 02 00 04 00 01 00 1A 00 02 00 00 00 00 0034 00 02 00 05 00 01 00 08 00 00 00 04 00 01 00 22 00 02 00 01 00 00 0006 00 02 00 07 00 01 00 01 00 00 00 04 00 01 00 22 00 02 00 01 00 00 00BC 00 02 00 07 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 04 00 01 00 22 00 02 00 01 00 00 0012 00 02 00 07 00 01 00 03 00 00 00 04 00 01 00 BB 00 02 00
Each line corresponds to the line of readable script to make it more easily decipherable.
Attack Based on Energy Crystal Count
This is probably the more recommended setup for slimy slugs, as it creates a more active and direct attack. This time, slugs will attack based on how many crystals the player has, and will begin attacking in increasing numbers as the player collects more crystals. Instead of popping in an out of their holes, slimy slugs will instead head straight for Rock Raider HQ, unless they cannot reach it. This setup is designated by this section, as seen from Back to Basics:
TRUE ? SetMessagePermit 1TRUE ? SetR1 0GetOxygenLevel < 30 ? :skipGetCrystalsCurrentlyStored > 10 ? SetR1 1GetCrystalsCurrentlyStored > 20 ? SetR1 2GetCrystalsCurrentlyStored > 25 ? SetR1 3GetCrystalsCurrentlyStored > 30 ? SetR1 4GetCrystalsCurrentlyStored > 35 ? SetR1 5GetCrystalsCurrentlyStored > 37 ? SetR1 6GetCrystalsCurrentlyStored > 40 ? SetR1 7GetCrystalsCurrentlyStored > 41 ? SetR1 8GetCrystalsCurrentlyStored > 42 ? SetR1 9GetCrystalsCurrentlyStored > 43 ? SetR1 10GetCrystalsCurrentlyStored > 44 ? SetR1 11GetSlugsOnLevel > GetR1 ? :skiploopstart:GetR1 = 0 ? :loopendGetRandom100 < 10 ? GenerateSlugTRUE ? SubR1 1TRUE ? :loopstartloopend:
As the crystal count goes up, the slug count goes up. However, no slugs will attack if the air supply is below 30%. When encrypted, this section translates to:

Each line corresponds to the line of readable script to make it more easily decipherable.
Other Varieties of Slug Attacks
You could also base slug attacks on other parameters, such as how much ore the player has collected, how many buildings the player has teleported, or how many monsters are present. This could be done just by modifying the previous setup that was based on energy crystals.
Examples of Levels that Use this Setup
- Rock Hard (with Material Collecting Objective)
- Lava Laughter (with Material Collecting Objective, though no holes are present in the map)
- Back to Basics (with Material Collecting Objective)
