This is rather bizarre. There seems to be a discrepancy in the damage scripted BOMBBLAST and SBOMBBLAST do to enemies, and the damage they do to Link.

 

Example: I have a spell called FireBomb that makes a super bomb blast with damage set to 12. To enemies, this deals 12 HP. That's 6 times the damage of the wooden sword. To Link, it deals 12 hearts. TWELVE. HEARTS. That's half my maximum health in one friendly-fire hit.

 

I recall this bug being present long before, but back then I just worked around it. In Carnage in Space I turned off lweapons hurting the player. In Solaris, I had turned down the damage of this spell until it was near-useless.

 

So... how can I make a scripted bomb blast that will hurt me and do more than annoy enemies, but not KILL ME OUTRIGHT if I wander into it?

Why not create an eweapon explosion and an lweapon explosion on top of each other? Shouldn't that allow you to set the damage to Link and to enemies differently?

Huh... I suppose I could try that. But that means I'll have to disable lweapon explosions hurting Link, and replace the explosions the normal bombs make.

Give link back a certain amount of hp if hit by the blast?

Well... that worked. I'm a bit worried about what will happen if something else hurts you while you're in the explosion, but at least the main problem is solved.
