So in the midst of all the unknown addresses in the ProudClod.dat and WallMarket.dat, there is address 402C. Has anyone ever found out what exactly it does?
I'm asking because it has become important for me right now. I am trying to make a boss rush gauntlet and certain bosses would cause trouble. Palmer is a perfect example. If you delete his whole Death Counter, the next formation in the gauntlet will be invisible and as soon as you press the triangle button, you can no longer select commands and the battle is frozen. Likewise, if you don't delete his Death Counter, his "final attack" (where he runs off and gets hit by the truck) initiates Wait Mode, but never goes back to Active Mode so the next battle in the gauntlet is screwed just as much.
HOWEVER if you set flag 402C to 1 in his Pre-Battle script, it works fine! It also works for the other troublesome enemies (basically all the ones that don't have a red-flashing death animation) such as Rufus or Dyne. This is super-convenient, but I'm kind of interested in what the flag actually DOES, so... does anyone know?
