What is this Enemy Editor that's coming to the new version 2.5? As far as I know, you cannot use it to make brand new enemies, but you can change things like how many hits you must score to defeat them.
Is all that right?

from what I understand yes.
would you be able to use it to make copies of exisiting enemies so as to have multiples with different graphics? because that would be very useful
Well, for that matter, why not include some blank enemies, like in the Item Editor, with soem VERY basic movement programs.
I should say so. C-Dawg did it expertly using a script. The Roc's Feather is also somewhat derived from a script, seeing as it came right after the script. It would seem that many of ZC's new features are being introduced by its members, despite not even being Open Source. :blah: ... ... ... Heh.Quote:

But, as of yet, most of the Enemy Editor features are unknown. I do know that you can select the enemy's number of hearts and how many hearts they inflict, but aside from that the rest is a mystery.
I was hoping(hint hint to dev) for even bigger than 2x2 for custom bosses.
It's already scripted, basically. Check out the script showcase forum.
I think he is referring to the feature by jman, rather than the script by C-Dawg.
I think that both the internal and scripted enemy editors will have their uses. ;) They could even be combined to do interesting things.
from what I understand, you can alter their movement pace, their weapons they shoot out, their homing ability onto link, if they have 'shields' or not, if they teleport or not, what item drop set they will use, stuff like that. I'm sure there's much more, but it should be pretty versatile.
