A_Boss1Chase
Since this hidden (source code-only) SOC Action is behind SpawnState's behavior for custom bosses, should we add any information on it at all?
Relevant code and such, taken from here:
| Object Property |
Use
|
MeleeState |
Attack State #1
|
MissileState |
Attack State #2
|
RaiseState |
Pinch Phase Attack
|
Damage |
When the boss' health points reaches this value, start pinch phase
|
Speed |
Chasing Speed
|

Is it worth adding in then? Just wondering. :x --Monster Iestyn Talk 14:20, 22 May 2013 (CDT)
Well, it doesn't seem like it would add any useful information that's not already in the article, so I would say no. Correct me if I'm wrong. Oh, and one thing because I'm pedantic like that: If it's source-code only, it's not a SOC action. :P --SpiritCrusherTalk • Contribs 00:31, 23 May 2013 (CDT)
