[SM] Draygon's Turrets

[Jiffy]

Okay. I've got 2 questions.

1. While making Draygon's room, I've moved the 2 leftmost Turrets up 4 tiles, but the Shots they spawn remain in the old position. Anybody know how to change that?
2. How do I make Draygon's turrets (when grappled) deal massive damage to Samus?  :twisted:

Thanks. :)
e; Damnit. Wrong section. Could somebody move it before anybody sees?

Note to self -- Do not grapple the turrets while fighting Draygon in Jefe962's hack.

Now that you say it, I'm going to make the Turrets heal Samus now.  :^_^:

[Quietus]

Or start healing Samus for a second or two, to lull players into thinking that, then start hurting them at double the rate.  Keep 'em guessing. :^_^:

[Jordan5]

Or heal them to almost full health, then insta-kill them if you really want to be mean :heheh:

Sooo, doesn't anybody know anything about the turrets?

3 -- change damage to Draygon by Grapple Beam short circuit. Just imagine player's reaction: "What? I'm grappling for over 1 minute. Now I'm have only 1 Energy Tank, and the boss is still alive! This short circuit is killing me!!!"

Count this as a new year's present. Sorry dudes, nothing more. It was a hard year.

Draygon's damage per frame from short circuit. Default value is $0100 (obviously).
