// 3: How fast the enemy moves while jumping. (140)
// 4: Type of eweapon to fire. See std.zh for values (EW_* constants). Set to 0 to disable firing back. (132 (Sword beam))
// 5: Eweapon speed. (200)
// 6: Eweapon sprite.
// 7: Sfx when the enemy jumps.
// 8: Sfx when the enemy fires back.
// 9: Type of Stalfos: 0->stump on Link, 1->jump away

I found this old script in the database from around 2013 it seems, but it has some quirks that I don't know how to fix:
1.- The enemy is not spawned by the "Puff" animation.
2.- After jumping, the enemy "skates" in the direction it's facing until it hits a solid combo, then it starts to walk again.
3.- Attribute 9 detects whether the enemy will stomp or jump away from Link. If set to 0, it will jump away (which works pretty well so far), but if set to 1 (which I think is the stomping part), the enemy does kind of jump towards Link, but it either lands next to him, or lands a bit farther.
However, can the following be added to the script? Instead of the stalfoes jumping when Link uses the sword, I would like for the enemy to react to any kind of weaponry; that way, any kind of equipment Link uses against the stalfos, it should jump or stomp on Link (depending on the setup of course).
Finally, for the stomping part, can it please be edited to act in the following pattern? When Link attacks and the stalfoes jumps towards his direction, the stalfos should last about 30 frames in the air above Link and then stomp him; I remember seeing this behavior in one of the GB Zeldas but I can't recall which was it.
I'll appreciate any given help.
