I'm trying to implement chronicleroflegends' boss code (http://www.nesmakers.com/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=2298), and I noticed that my constants for everything having to do with recoil, invulnerability, and hurt timer have no effect on my game, in that if I go into Project Settings->User Constants and change the values, it has no effect. Then I remembered that I was tweaking all that stuff in the HandlePlayerHurt script, since it seems to just define the value of those constants at the beginning of the script.
I figured I could comment these line out:
HURT_TIMER = #$16
INVINCIBILITY_TIMER = #$16
RECOIL_SPEED_HI = #$02
RECOIL_SPEED_LO = #$02
And maybe that would fix it. But it just gives me a really short recoil and hurt/invincibility timer, regardless of what values I set in Project settings.
Here is the script. It's the only place I've seen that seems to directly define constants in the code. Maybe there's somewhere else?
