This is a ghosted enemy that's designed with customization in mind. I may update it in the future with more attacks and movement behaviors that people suggest.

Update 4/13/18: Minor update. I fixed some basic ghost settings that should've been enabled from the start. Enemies can now be stunned. I also added a flag for enabling knockback.
Update 8/17/19: A small update where I was going to just take the file back from Avataro and fix some things actually turned into a bit of a big update.

• All attacks now have a global delay with attack animations of varying length. Hopefully there'll be no more getting hit by attacks you couldn't see coming at point blank.
• A few attacks have been rebalanced and nerfed to be more reasonable.
• laser.zh is no longer required and laser hitboxes should hopefully be improved overall. No more big laser phantom hitting you with the back end.
• You can now shave up to 15 pixels off the edges of an enemy's hitbox with Attribute 5
• New animations for teleports and custom death explosions
• New attacks, movement types, and a new flag

Update 9/16/19: Another big one here. I added a ton of new attacks and new types of attacks, now the script has 70 of them. I've decided to stop fussing so much over organization of the thing so much.

• Rebalances to some attacks suggested by Avataro
• Updates to a couple movement styles (Hopping, Teleporting, and Hopping Fast) to make them more customizable
• A new flag, for preventing stun
• Flying enemies now have Fake Z and shadows
• Two new special attack types: Constant and Transform
• A bunch of new attacks
• Weapon rotation is now no longer based on weapon type when a custom sprite is set. My apologies for any inconvenience this causes.

Update 2/24/20: Very small update. Just fixed a bug with the EZB_DONT_REPEAT_LAST_ATTACK setting when an enemy only has one attack.
Update 6/29/20: Another sizeable update. The focus this time is extra FFC scripts that can be used to give enemies more attacks and customization. A lot of stuff has changed so make sure to keep backups in case some of your enemies break.

• A new alternate setting for how lasers will appear
• Reworked attack and transformation selection
• The ability to give bosses >3 attacks
• The ability to give bosses more than one transformable form. Transformations no longer have to be sequential
• The ability to recolor lasers and shockwaves per enemy
• The ability to have an enemy transform on death
• One new special attack type: Speed Up
• A new flag that makes enemies' attacks happen in a fixed sequence

Warning: This is an Autoghosted enemy. This means you need to not just have the ghost.zh header imported, but you also need the GhostZHActiveScript (included in ghost.zh) in your Active global script slot. Without this, the enemy's script will not load even if you set it as instructed in the enemy editor.

Constants:
First, you'll want to set up the constants at the top of the script for your quest. A (*) indicates a set of similar named constants. Here are the most important ones:

• C_EZB_LASER*: The three colors for the lasers. These numbers should be written in hexadecimal (preceded by an 0x). The first character is the cset and the second the color within that cset.
• C_EZB_SHOCKWAVE*: Similar to the above but for the shockwaves during certain jump attacks.
• SFX_EZB_*: Various sounds for things the boss does.
• EZB_DONT_REPEAT_LAST_ATTACK: If 0, attacks can repeat freely. If 1, attacks will never repeat. If 2, attacks will never repeat unless there's only 2 attacks.
• EZB_DO_WINDUP_SHAKE: If 2, both medium and strong attacks will make the enemy shake during the windup. If 1, just strong attacks will. If 0, none of them will.
• EZB_FORMCHANGE_ANIM: Affects enemy death tranformations. If 0, enemies will play no animation when transforming. If 1, the animation will play when the enemy's size changes. If 2, the animation will always play.
• EZB_TELEPORT_TYPE: If 0 the enemy will blink when teleporting, if 1 it'll stretch its tile upwards, if 2 it'll use an offset from the enemy's base tile, directly following the firing tiles.
• EZB_ENABLE_SPEEDTRAILS: If 1, dash attacks will have speed trails. Purely visual, take it or leave it.
• EZB_WINDUP_*: The durations of various delays before attacks. Measured in 60ths of a second.
• SPR_EZB_DEATHEXPLOSION: If >0 a sprite (Weapons/Misc) will be used for the enemy's explosion animation. Otherwise it'll be the Zelda 1 bomb effect.
• WIDTH_EZB_DEATHEXPLOSION / HEIGHT_EZB_DEATHEXPLOSION: The tile width and height of the explosion sprite.
• EZB_DEATH_FLASH: If 1, the enemy will flash different csets when exploding.
• EZB_ALWAYS_FAKE_Z: If 1, all enemies can be hit and can hit Link on the Z axis
• STYLE_EZB_LASER: If 0 use 3 color gradient lasers. If 1 use flashing lasers.

Enemy Setup:
The enemy itself is set up like any other autoghosted enemy, but different behaviors use different fields:

• Attribute 1: This is the enemy's movement style. See Movement for further details.
• Attribute 2: This is the enemy's first attack (0 for none). See Attacks for further details.
• Attribute 3: This is the enemy's second attack (0 for none). See Attacks for further details.
• Attribute 4: This is the enemy's third attack (0 for none). See Attacks for further details.
• Attribute 5: This determines how many pixels (0-15) are shaved off the top/bottom and left/right edges of the hitbox. It's a combination of two numbers: X Shave and Y Shave. To get the final value you set here, take X Shave + (Y Shave * 16)
• Attribute 6: This is a special value used by some of the attacks.
• Attribute 7: Set this to how big you want the enemy to be, in tiles. If it's a square enemy this is both the width and height. Otherwise set it to Height*16+Width.
• Attribute 8: Set this to give the projectiles the enemy fires a different sound.
• Attribute 9: Set this to give the projectiles the enemy fires a different sprite. Also sets rotation.
  • 4 Way Rotation (AKA what ZC uses): Add +1000 to Attribute 9
  • 360 Degree Rotation: Add +2000 to Attribute 9
• Attribute 10: Set this to the sum of all the enemy's flags. See Flags for further details.
• Attribute 11: Set this to the first of the enemy's combos. The enemy's combo setup is walking combos followed by attacking combos. There can be 2, 8, or 16 combos total depending on flags. If you're using combo teleport animations another 1, 4, or 8 combos get added on the end for that animation as well.
• Attribute 12: Set this to the slot this script is loaded into.

Movement Styles:

• 0 - Halting Walk (4 Directional): This is the standard walking enemy behavior in the enemy editor where it walks for a bit and then stops to shoot. Uses all the enemy editor fields it normally would. It's better used for normal enemies than bosses.
• 1 - Constant Walk (4 Directional): This is the same as above but minus the halting period. Attacks will still trigger periodically based on Halt Rate.
• 2 - Constant Walk (8 Directional): This is the standard Bat behavior from the enemy editor. Uses all the fields it normally would. Attacks will still trigger periodically based on Halt Rate.
• 3 - Walk Toward Link: This makes the enemy move straight towards Link constantly. Step speed determines how fast it moves. Attacks will still trigger periodically based on Halt Rate. If homing is >0, it specifies a radius in which the enemy can respond to Link attacking with one of its own.
• 4 - Wall Bounce: This will make the enemy move in a random direction and bounce off any walls it hits. Step speed determines how fast it moves. Attacks will still trigger periodically based on Halt Rate.
• 5 - Periodic Re-aim: This is like Walk Toward Link only the enemy is a little less persistent, instead walking in one direction and updating its aim periodically. Step determines how fast it moves. Attacks will still trigger periodically based on Halt Rate.
• 6 - Lazy Chase: This will make the enemy accelerate towards Link gradually, floating about in a sort of orbit pattern around him. Homing factor determines how fast it accelerates. Step speed determines its top speed. Attacks will still trigger periodically based on Halt Rate.
• 7 - Hopping: The enemy alternates between pausing and hopping towards Link. Attack frequency is based on random rate. It has a 1 / (Random Rate / 2) chance of attacking after jumping with a max jump count of Random Rate. Halt Rate affects the delay between hops. Homing affects the randomness of jump directions with higher values being more random and lower being more aimed towards Link.
• 8 - Teleporting: The enemy teleports around. It has a 1 / (Random Rate / 2) chance of attacking after teleporting with a max teleport count of Random Rate. Halt Rate affects the delay between teleports.
• 9 - Hopping (Fast): Similar to hopping, but the enemy doesn't pause while on the ground and the jumps can vary in height. Homing determines the base height of the jump while random rate determines how much the height varies (0-80% in either direction). Halt Rate affects the randomness of jump directions with higher values being more random and lower being more aimed towards Link.
• 10 - Run Away: The enemy will try to keep its distance from Link. Homing determines the distance it tries to keep at. If 0 it will always move away.
• 11 - Turn at Wall: The enemy will continue to move straight until it reaches a wall at which point it'll make a turn. Random rate determines the type of turn:
  • 0: 90°
  • 1: -90°
  • 2: 180°
  • 3: Random -90° or 90°
• 12 - Skitter (4 Directional): The enemy will move in short bursts in four directions before halting. Random rate determines how often the enemy turns. Halt rate determines attack frequency. Homing determines how long it stays in place for.
• 13 - Skitter (8 Directional): The enemy will move in short bursts in eight directions before halting. Random rate determines how often the enemy turns. Halt rate determines attack frequency. Homing determines how long it stays in place for.
• 14 - Teleport (Fast): Same as teleport but the animation goes much faster.
• 15 - Follow Wall: The enemy moves along walls. Random rate determines the type of turn:
  • 0: Clockwise
  • 1: Counterclockwise
  • 2: Random
• 16 - Fishrobe: This is based on my fish wizard enemies from EotM. They follow the usual walking pattern but can phase diagonally and will attack Link when he steps in their line of sight. Halt Rate determines their attack cooldown length.

Constant Attack Styles:
These attacks are only valid as Attack 1 (Attribute 2) and will happen at certain points in the enemy's movement pattern. When these are triggered depends on the movement style, generally corresponding with when the enemy changes direction.

• 44 - Constant Attack - Fireball, Directional: The enemy shoots a fireball in the direction it's facing.

Transform Attack Styles:
These attacks are only valid as Attack 1 (Attribute 2) and transform the enemy into another one made with the script. The enemy to reference is indicated by Attribute 6. These can be chained together for enemies with 3 or more cycling forms.

• 50 - Transform (Barrier Shift): After every attack, the enemy takes on the defenses and CSet of a different enemy.

• 71 - Transform (On Death): After dying, the enemy takes on all properties (as accessible with ZScript) of a different enemy. The other enemy has to be using Newbie Boss as well.

Misc Attack Styles:
These attacks don't fit into the other attack styles. They give the enemy a persistent effect instead of attacking in a standard way.

• 91 - Speed Up x2: The enemy accelerates over time to double its base speed. Time per level of speed up is defined by FRAMES_EZB_SPEEDUP.
• 92 - Speed Up x3: The enemy accelerates over time to triple its base speed. Time per level of speed up is defined by FRAMES_EZB_SPEEDUP.
• 93 - Speed Up x4: The enemy accelerates over time to quadruple its base speed. Time per level of speed up is defined by FRAMES_EZB_SPEEDUP.

Flags:
Add these numbers together in the enemy's attribute 10 to give it these effects.

• 1 - 4-Way: Makes the enemy's combos be in sets of four (Up, Down, Left, Right)
• 2 - 8-Way: Makes the enemy's combos be in sets of eight (Up, Down, Left, Right, Up-left, Up-right, Down-left, Down-right)
• 4 - Flying: Makes the enemy ignore pits, water, and solidity and be blocked by No Flying Enemy combos.
• 8 - Aquatic: Makes the enemy's movement limited to water combos.

• 128 - Unblockable: Makes all the enemy's projectiles unblockable.
• 256 - Knockback Enabled: The enemy takes knockback when hit
• 512 - No Collision: The enemy deals no collision damage to Link but can still be stunned. If you want it to have no collision at all, give it immunity to all weapons. This flag has the side effect of preventing the enemy from being affected by stunning weapons and clocks, because of how the effect is handled (it uses the stun variable).
• 1024 - No Stun: The enemy won't be stunned by any stunning weapons. Like the above but with collision damage still enabled. This way if you have stunning weapons that also deal damage you can still damage with them without stunning.
• 2048 - Sequential Attack: The enemy will cycle through attacks sequentially instead of at random.

Extra Scripts:
These can be placed on the screen to give enemies extra effects.

EZBoss_Effects: This is spawned by the boss itself for some attacks. Make sure it's assigned to a slot, you don't actually need to place it.
EZBoss_ExtraAttacks: This gives the enemy additional attacks.

• D0: The enemy ID of the enemy to apply this script to.
• D1-D7: Attacks to add. 0 for none. Attack types that explicitly require the enemy's Attribute 2 can't be added this way.

EZBoss_ChangeLaserColor: This changes the colors of lasers (also used for lightning) and shockwaves.

• D0: The enemy ID of the enemy to apply this script to.
• D1-D3: The three colors for the enemy's lasers. 0 for defaults. These must be converted from hexadecimal to decimal. You can preview these values using the 8-bit tile editor.
• D4-D6: The three colors for the enemy's shockwaves. 0 for defaults. These must be converted from hexadecimal to decimal. You can preview these values using the 8-bit tile editor.

EZBoss_ExtraTransformations: This gives the enemy extra transformation options in addition to the one specified by Attribute 6. It can also extend the duration an enemy takes a certain form.

• D0: The enemy ID of the enemy to apply this script to.
• D1: The number of attacks the enemy stays in its current form for.
• D2: A random chance to change forms (1/n) after D1 runs out.
• D3-D7: Enemy IDs to add to the transformation pool. These must be using Newbie Boss to work.

This script requires ghost.zh, ffcscript.zh and std.zh.
