Shadow guy

The shadow guy is an entity that automatically spawns on gm_construct 13 beta if the system's current date is set to April 1st. Shadow guys will follow the player but teleport out of view when in the field of vision of a player, or if the entity is too close to the player. The shadow guy will either teleport immediately or in two seconds, as long as the player is able to see their feet.

Shadow guys cannot be interacted with a physics gun, nor can they be affected by bullets. However, explosions will kill them immediately.

There are two types of shadow guys: ones that emit sound and ones that are silent.

It is possible to spawn the shadow guy by typing in the console "give npc_shadow_guy" or searching in the spawnlist. However, this will not be possible on any other date of the year.
