Caterpillar class
#include <Jazz2/Actors/Enemies/Caterpillar.h>
Caterpillar.
Stationary, invulnerable creature that inhales and then exhales clouds of smoke; the smoke drifts upward and leaves the player dizzy on contact. It cannot be killed, only briefly disoriented by shooting it, which interrupts its attack.

Function documentation
void Jazz2::
Serializes the live state of the object to a level state snapshot.
Called only if IsSerializable() returns true. Anything that is initialized from the event parameters in OnActivatedAsync() doesn't need to be stored, because the object is spawned again with the same parameters before OnDeserializeState() is called. Derived classes must call the base implementation first and read the data back in the same order.
void Jazz2::
Restores the live state of the object from a level state snapshot.
Called right after the object was spawned again (i.e., after OnActivatedAsync()) and before it's added to the level. Running transitions are not restored, because their callbacks cannot be serialized, so derived classes have to put the object into a state that doesn't wait for such a callback.
