Metal Sonic boss set-up

[furythehog]

So I had a go at making a metal sonic bossfight, and he works, except he doesn't attack, and no orbs spawn around him, I assume I need to set other objects like metal sonic waypoints, but that didn't seem to do anything, since the wiki still doesnt have a page for him, I can't check there.

So basically I was wondering if anybody could give me some help with setting this up, i'd like to point out for this level it's only a boss fight, not a race.

It's actually ghost data set-up via LUA I think.

 

[furythehog]

really? I have no clue to be honest, he spawns and moves fine, takes damage and can be beaten, but he doesn't use his orb shooting attacks or his overdrive pinch attack at all, just hovers around and takes a beating.

The race is ghost data but the fight is coded like any other boss, SOC and LUA.

Well I did mention in my original post im only setting up the fight. i just need to figure out why he isn't attacking.

He isn't made with any Lua (not "LUA") at all, all vanilla SRB2 content is coded in SRB2's source code itself.

I put him in a test map and he wouldn't fire if at least one Metal Sonic Waypoint (thing type 293, not the same thing as Boss Waypoint) wasn't present. (They seem to be spawnpoints for the orbs that gather around him while he's charging, if you're confused on where to position them.)

Out of curiosity, who's ghost data is Metal Sonic? It'd be cool to know who we basically raced against.

It's Sonic, but I don't think he uses the Speed Thok.

I think he wants to know which of the developers recorded the race data.

It's Rob, who recorded it several times over whenever I broke the format trying to fix small bugs with the replay system, like reverse gravity not recording properly.
