Somehow I just knew I'd be asking for this kind of help again.

just recently I've attempted cloning the Crawla Commander. in the SOC code everything appears fine, until I get in game.

Here's what happens:

If you can see the picture, it showes that the crawla commander Classic is stuck in one frame and only takes 1 damage before being destroyed.

How do I fix this?

The Soc for it can be seen here:

The SpriteSubNumbers in each frame need to be changed. That fixes the animation.
Code: 
FRAME S_OCOMMAND1
SPRITESUBNUMBER = A

FRAME S_OCOMMAND2
SPRITESUBNUMBER = B

FRAME S_OCOMMAND3
SPRITESUBNUMBER = C

FRAME S_OCOMMAND4
SPRITESUBNUMBER = D
As for the Crawla Commander dying in one hit, I have no idea.
 
Yea, I have the health set as 2, so I really have no idea why the commander is dying so easily.
 
Alright, I've figured out the 1-hit problem. The Crawla Commander had no invincibility frames, so I've added some. More information here.
Now, I have no idea what version of SRB2 you're using to replicate its behavior nor do I know the sprites used, but I'm gonna assume you used direct rips of 1.09.4's srb2.srb.

If anyone else wants to provide a better solution to this, you're free to do so.
 
Yes, the sprites are a direct rip from 1.09.4, but the SOC information was pulled from the wiki due to 2.1 not having a socedit program.

Edit: I just applied the fix and the commander works perfectly now. Thank you!
