Well i've been making weaker types of deathknights.....sort of. hehe.

1) Gave them bombs as you can see, and three of them quickly spamed the screen with bombs that don't explode unless you step on them. ( I was thinking Octo4 type enemy) They're basically lit bombs, not bombs. -at least lit bombs you can give a land mine animation to. ;p

2) The flame 2. Isn't that the equivilent of the candle? EDIT: Not here.....giving the weapon flame to darknuts has the desired effect. I see. So what the heck is flame 2 supposed to do?

3) Giving the boomerang to darknuts sometimes fires a fast Brang spanning the entire screen. Actually it looks pretty cool. hehe. I thought about deleting #3 for a second. 😉 Any way to give the homing boomerang?

Hasn't anybody been testing this stuff?

1) Okay, fixed.

2) Wasn't my idea.

3) Boomerangs aren't really supposed to work on anything other than Goriyas. Special handling is required for them to catch boomerangs, and also for boomerangs to vanish when they are killed. It'd take a not-inconsequential amount of effort to allow other enemies to use them, at the moment. So: fixed.

Wait, you didn't remove this ability did you? Damnit, I knew I shouldn't of posted that. I had Goriya's that I drew out to have shields like darknuts and made some Goriyanuts.

So wait!? Darknuts can still use boomerangs right!?.....It wasn't that often, plus it didn't cause ZC to crash or anything bad to happen. It was basically sometimes a magic boomerang instead of a normal one. no big deal.

Please don't take away my Goriya Nuts!!!!!!!....NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

* Non-Goriyas can no longer use Boomerangs, for now. ( _L_, 2007-07-31 23:00:47 )

Was that really necessary? I've got a bunch of enemies that use the boomerang. What about everyone that's making a quest on the b16 and up builds having this affect their enemies? This was more of a quirk than a bug. What about shooter type enemies that people were using for custom bosses or anything else?

Great. Now every quest maker is going to hate me for this. I feel sick.

1)Fixed! Yay!

3) You bastard! 😛 .....fixed, and now i'm sad...however the goriya will have their revenge in 2.6.
