Armos->Next

To anyone who wants to use this script here is a tip: Make copies of the enemies you want to spawn and set their spawn type to instant. This will make the spawning look better.

A bug with the hitboxes causes the item saving portion of this script to sometimes not work. In order to fix it, you should change !LinkCollision(it) to it->isValid().

That should be easy enough, but for those who can't be bothered, here is the corrected script:

//invisible combos used when setting to layers.
const int CMB_SOLID = 9; //an invisible solid combo.
const int CMB_INVIS = 8; //a non-solid invisible combo.

ffc script ArmosNext
{
	void run(int enemy, int sfx, int delay, bool solid, int layer, int itemDrop, int d, int bit)
	{
		this->X = (this->X>>4)<<4; this->Y = (this->Y>>4)<<4; //align to combo grid
		int posX = this->X;
		item it;
		int wait = delay;

		if(solid){
			if(!layer)
				SetLayerComboD(layer, ComboAt(this->X, this->Y), this->Data);
			else
				SetLayerComboD(layer, ComboAt(this->X, this->Y), CMB_SOLID);
		}
		
		while(!LinkCollision(this)) Waitframe();
		
		if(!enemy){
			
			if(solid){
				while(delay){
					if(LinkCollision(this)){
						delay--;
						this->X = posX + Rand(2);	
						Game->PlaySound(sfx);	
						Waitframe();
					}
				else delay = wait;
				this->X = posX;
				Waitframe();
				}
			}
		}
		else{
			for(;delay>0;delay--){
				this->X = posX + Rand(3)-1;	
				Game->PlaySound(sfx);	
				Waitframe();	
			}
			this->X = posX;
			CreateNPCAt(enemy, this->X, this->Y);
		}			
		if(solid) {
			if(!layer)
				SetLayerComboD(layer, ComboAt(this->X, this->Y), this->Data+1);
			else
				SetLayerComboD(layer, ComboAt(this->X, this->Y), CMB_INVIS);
		}
		this->Data++;
		
		if(itemDrop && !(Screen->D[d]&bit)){
			it = CreateItemAt(itemDrop, this->X, this->Y);
			Game->PlaySound(SFX_SECRET);
		}
		while(itemDrop && it->isValid() && !(Screen->D[d]&bit)) Waitframe();
		Screen->D[d] |= bit;
	} //end run()	
} //end script

//D0 the enemy number to spawn (if 0 no enemy spawns)
//D1 Sound to play while "Armos" shakes 
//D2 how long to shake the FFC before spawning the enemy
//D3 whether or not the armos is solid (0 is false; 1 is true; FFC Combo must be solid)
//D4 what layer the FFC combo is placed on. (Solidity only works on layer 0, 1, and 2)
//D5 item to drop
//D6 Screen Data slot to store to
//D7 Bit to store
