How is this accomplished? I've tried loading values into this->Data, such as:
this->Data = this->Data + 1;
And it compiles, but has no effect on changing the combo associated with the FFC.

It doesn't? It should. You're doing it right. Are you sure the statement's being executed?
Well, here's the script:
// ================================================== ====================
// Charging_Bull: The FFC will move horizontally back and forth until it is lined up with Link.
// Once it's lined up, it will charge towards Link until it hits a solid combo. It will then
// be stunned and pause for a moment before reviving and resuming the same movement.
// ================================================== ====================
ffc script charging_bull {

int charge_sound = 13; // The sound played when the FFC charges
int slam_sound = 13; // The sound played when the FFC hits a solid combo
int stun_tics = 60; // The number of tics for which the FFC will be stunned.
int patrol_speed = 1; // The speed at which the FFC moves horizontally back and forth.
// VARIABLES (used by the code; do not change)
int stun_counter = 0; // The countdown to when the FFC will move again.
int accel = 0; // The FFC's current accelleration
int state = 0; // Determines the state of the FFC.
// 0 = Moving horizontally to the right
// 1 = Moving horizontally to the left
// 2 = Charging north
// 3 = Charging south
// 4 = Stunned

As you can see, it's supposed to switch combos when it's charging and based on it's position relative to Link. It's a miniboss, and the damage counter is taken care of by screen flags. So all this needs to do is switch between combos appropriately.
I don't know. It seems to be working just fine for me.
Is there anything else you can think of that could possibly be interfering?
Not that I can see. There are no other combos on the screen. The damn combo just won't change. Hmm...
EDIT - Okay, now, without changing anything, it works... sorta. The way I have it set up, when the FFC is stunned, it is a combo with a STRIKE flag attached. When you hit him at the right time, you score a hit and the secrets trigger once, reducing his health. In game, when I successfully strike the FFC at the right time, the game just freezes up. Midi continues playing, but the game crashes.
