/*
    Heartbeat script for Blighted Treant to turn in and out of a tree

    For this script to work, a string variable sResRef must be set no the
        transforming creature. It should be set to the resref of the placeable
        into which the creature should transform
        A string variable also named sResRef should be set on the placeable
        as a default creature to transform the placeable into for placed objects
    This script should be placed in the OnHeartbeat event of both the placeable
        and the creatures

Description

This script performs the placeable/creature/placeable transformation like the default Bioware gargolye. By using vairables set on the placeables and the creatures this one script will work for all transformations. The script is even set to allow the use of one placeable for multiple creatures so you need not make 1 mushroom placeable for each different myconid, 1 tree for various levels of treants, etc. One placeable will do. Directions on how to use the script are at the top of the script.
