Instill energy and Rapid fire statue.

[Gleeok]

Instill energy will turn any ordinary screen enemy into a regenerating killing machine, and rapid fire statue, well, um, it's a statue that fires rapidly...or not, it's up to you.

Uses:

Give the Instill Energy to an otherwise boring enemy, such as the Digdogger, or Aquamentus, maybe the digdogger kids too.

You can use the statue script for, well, a statue... Maybe place it on an unwalkable combo?
Actually, You might want to link it to another ffc for something really sick. Perhaps a few rapid fire scripts linked to an enemy with Instill energy? Yep...they're both in the same thread for a reason.

//=============================================================
// 		FFC SCRIPT INSTILL ENERGY
// D0 - the first of four ffc's to use as projectiles
// D1 - new enemy HP amount
// D2 - delay between rapid fire attack (in ticks) /default is 300
// D3 - combo to use as projectiles
// D4 - CSet of projectiles
// D5 - speed of projectiles
// D6 - screen enemy number to instill energy to
// D7 - the HP regeneration of the instilled enemy :O

//===================================================================================
//			FFC SCRIPT RAPID FIRE STATUE
// D0 - the first ffc to use as projectiles
// D1 - the amount of ffc's to use for fireballs. Ex D0; 2, and D1 5, will use ffc's 2-7. 
// D2 - speed of projectile
// D3 - combo of projectile
// D4 - Cset of projectile
// D5 - Max delay in ticks before the firing sequence restarts
// D6 - Delay between shots     *Note* It will fire five shots
// during the max delay sequence. If you want non-stop firing divide max delay by five.
// ex: Delay - 20, max delay 100. -for crazy statues try delay 8, max 50.
// if the combo of the statue changes the shooting will stop.
// D7 - the ffc to link this ffc to.

Thanks DD for the distance routine.


-Have fun!

So evil. I think I am going to have some fun with these scripts.

[Gleeok]

Updated the rapid fire script, which, I had completely forgot about. Though it seems no one noticed.

[Din]

Cool, I'll try using that.
