Advanced Effects - Sprites - Mini-Bosses

Mini-Bosses

Normally, when you kill the Episode 1 Boss, the ending cinematic will begin playing. This quick effect allows you to turn the Episode 1 Boss into a Mini-Boss. You can kill a Mini-Boss without triggering the cinematic.


Place the BOSS1 (#2630) sprite (or BOSS1STAYPUT) wherever you want. Assign it a palette value of anything other than 0 (21 by default).

If you want to spawn BOSS1 in Mini-Boss form, place an R[2630,Channel] (or R[2631,Channel] for BOSS1STAYPUT) and give it a palette value of anything other than 0 (21 by default). Place either a T[0,Channel] or a switch tagged [ActivationSound,Channel] somewhere in the map (to trigger the respawn).

Notes:

  • The Mini-Boss has less than 1/4 the strength of the actual Boss.
  • You can turn the other Episode Bosses into Mini-Bosses, but a single shot will kill them. You can modify the CON files to fix this, or you could just e-mail me for a copy of my own personal CON fix: MYCON.
