I've not tried that. Would the fullness of the toy box affect the boss AI?

If a toy box is too full the boss might not appear

He appears, but he just stands there. I'll try deleting and replacing it, and if that doesn't work I'll link to a box designed just for the battle.

Man, I chose the wrong time to finally start getting into toybox creation. I got a concept that would be perfect for this theme but is way too much for a beginner to undertake.

The boss battle generator although cool is not without issues, it sometimes spawns bosses on entering (without any connection), and sometimes they can be either to punishing or just to easy. They also get stuck with terrain changes. Proper level design is necessary to have great battles (and punishing ones, as without checkpoints you basically have unlimited lives) I recommend spicing things spawning other enemies, or adding aditional conditions to the battle per se, like checkpoints, life counts, teleporting on defeat, and what not. Another thing is memory, make sure when you enter the boss battle that there aren't a lot of enemies left unchecked running around on the map, as they consume memory and may cause the game to run slow or just poor performance.

Hope this helps.

Thanks @zeth609. I got it working now. Since there will be a lot of innovation, I'm not completely relying on the boss battle creator. It serves as the battle before my boss battle. Anyway, I just uploaded mine. When it's been approved give it a try. It's called "PotC: Calypso Cove"

@ MightyGitis I resubmitted mine. I originally submitted it on Monday, but it isn't up yet. If it's up in time it's called "PotC: Calypso Cove."
