Is there a way to spawn an "Abei"? Basically a non-moving enemy that acts like he's damaged when you strike him with the sword (flickers w/hurt sound), but is impossible to kill. I thought there might be a way to create one using the enemy editor (maybe?), the problem with the enemy editor is that I don't see any way to turn off Link's recoil on touching an enemy.

 

As a separate question, is there any way to turn off Link's recoil for certain enemies so Link can just walk through them?

If you add a "guy" to the screen via the regular way, yes. Otherwise you'd have to script it. There might be an NPC script in the database that has that functionality, IDK, but there is no way to spawn an enemy like that via the enemy editor.

i'm sure you know, but with the regular way you have to walk two combos into the room and can't place the guy

How about just a way to make a regular enemy have infinite health?

I think I can figure out the rest

ffc script AbeiUndying
{
	void run()
	{
		Waitframes(4);
		npc abei = Screen->LoadNPC(1);
		while (true)
		{
			abei->HP = 32767;
			Waitframe();
		}
	}
}

You'll still get knocked back by this Abei. The problem with your original idea is that an enemy's collision property handles both its ability to hurt you and your ability to hurt it. The simplest workaround I can think of is to place a solid combo on top of the enemy's spawn point, then shrink its hitbox a bit to ensure the player can never run into it (but can still swipe at it with weapons).

EDIT: Request fulfilled:

ffc script CreateEndlessHPEnemy{
void run(int enemyID, int enemyX, int enemyY, int trigger_secrets){
npc enemy = CreateNPCAt(enemyID, enemyX, enemyY);
        enemy->HP = 32767;
        while (true)
        {
            if (enemy->HP < 32767 && trigger_secrets != 0){
                Screen->TriggerSecrets();
                Game->PlaySound(SFX_SECRET);
                trigger_secrets = 0;
            }
            enemy->HP = 32767;
            Waitframe();
        }
}
}
