Here is the coding for a custom boss I am making. The problem with this boss is that, after the first hit, it becomes intangible. It still spawns enemies as it should, but it is impossible to hit.
Also, yes, I am aware that there are a few subtle flaws (for example, no death state), but this is, after all, a boss-in-progress, so things will be missing. Please only point out the flaws that could be responsible for the intangible boss.
EDIT: After much experimentation, I have found the solution myself. The painstate apparently needs to redirect to the spawnstate in order for the boss to be open for attack again. It makes absolutely no sense, but oh well.
