So, You wanna make a custom enemy like the cool srb2 mappers?
well youre in luck because this guide will help you (you will be shocked by how simple making a custom enemy is)
-- SOC --
well since this is an object there are 2 ways of going about it but for the sake of this tutorial we will be using soc, which is short for Sonic Object Configuration start by making a freeslot for the object like this:
Now for the main enemy Definition:
you know how i was talking about states well here they are:
Dont forget to freeslot the states you make like this
-- Sprites now in order for your object to look like something that isnt a excalimation mark in a diamond you will need to make sprites i wont get too into detail but what you want to do is make your sprites use the name of the spritename combined with the SpriteFrame from the states you defined in order for them to pop up
and with that said that's all for the tutorial, no seriously its that simple! have fun using some more fun objects :D

Sonic Object Configuration (SOC):
Freeslot
MT_CUSTOMENEMY #MT_CUSTOMENEMY tells the game that you want to use one of the freeslots for an object!
Enemy definition:

SpawnState = S_POSS_STND #this is a state more about them later for now think of this as the idle animation except for enemies
SpawnHealth = 1 #use this to set how much hits an enemy takes till it dies

Flags = MF_ENEMY|MF_SPECIAL|MF_SHOOTABLE # if you are making a custom enemy make SURE these EXACT flags are used you can use other ones just make sure these ones are also in this varable
RaiseState = S_NULLyou know how i was talking about states well here they are:
STATE DEFINTION:
State S_POSS_STND
SpriteName = PNTY #the name of the sprite The way this is formated is that the sprite would be PNTYA1 - PNTYA8
SpriteFrame = A #the frame put at the end of a sprite name
Duration = 5 # how many tics the state last for
Next = S_POSS_STND #the next state after this one
Action = A_Look #the action the object does in this state

Freesloting States:
