			In v1.5, the LIZTROOP is the only enemy that requires this fix, as all of the others already have a '''ifai AI<enemyname><SHRUNK\SHRINK> break''' statement before the hit state is called, or at the very top of the hit state.

	Do you remember what happens when you shoot an Assault Captain before he teleports? Only when he comes back will he fall dead / explode / et cetera. With this code this is exactly what will happen with the shrunken enemy; only when he grows back will he be able to take hits and get shot once more.

			You probably have seen this bug before.

	~~Probably you already have seen this bug.~~		If you shoot an shrunken enemy, and it activates the hitting animation, it will start processing the normal enemy code, but still remain small and not go back to the original size.
	If you shoot an ~~shrunk~~ enemy, and it activates the hitting animation, it will ~~become~~ the normal enemy code, but still small and not ~~coming~~ back to the original size.

	To fix that bug, you need to find the main ~~<b>~~[[ifhitweapon]]~~</b>~~ in the enemy code at GAME.con. ~~It means that you~~ will find that code many times, but probably all them will be already in the if condition from the main <b>ifhitweapon</b>. Sample: At Assault Trooper / actor LIZTROOP code will ~~have~~ the ~~<b>~~state checktroophit~~</b>~~ where there are many ~~<b>~~ifhitweapon~~</b> tags~~, but before ~~you can find <b>~~ifhitweapon state checktroophit~~</b>~~, so all them are already under that main tag.		To fix that bug, you need to find the main '''[[ifhitweapon]]''' statement in the enemy code, which is in GAME.con by default. You will find that code many times, but probably all them will be already in the if condition from the main '''ifhitweapon''' or you have confused '''ifhitweapon''' with '''[[ifwasweapon]]'''.

			All you have to do to fix this bug is add an '''ifai AI<enemyname><SHRUNK\SHRINK> break''' statement before the main '''ifhitweapon'''. Remember to search at the beginning of the enemy code for name of their shrunk artificial intellegence, as the Assault Trooper's (actor LIZTROOP) is '''AITROOP<u>SHRUNK</u>''' while the Pig Cop's (actor PIGCOP) is '''AIPIG<u>SHRINK</u>'''.

			'''Sample:'''<br />
			In the Assault Trooper's (actor LIZTROOP) code, there will be the state '''state checktroophit''' where there are many '''ifhitweapon''' primitives, but they are all before '''ifhitweapon state checktroophit''', so all them are already under that main tag.

			Here is the actual code described above:

	ifhitweapon		ifhitweapon
	state checktroophit		state checktroophit

	~~Just add a <b>ifai AIENEMYSHRUNK break</b> (remember~~ to search at enemy code's top for "AI" name of the shrunk state, as Assault Trooper is called <b>AITROOP<u>SHRUNK</u></b> but Pig Cop / actor PIGCOP is <b>AIPIG<u>SHRINK</u></b>) before the main <b>ifhitweapon</b>.		Change it to this:

	~~<b>~~ ifai AITROOPSHRUNK		'''ifai AITROOPSHRUNK'''
	break~~</b>~~		'''break'''
	ifhitweapon		ifhitweapon
	state checktroophit		state checktroophit

	~~More than fix that code~~, it will ~~works as like~~ the Assault Captain ~~Teleport (only when he appers again it will fall dead / explode on jibs / whatever)~~. ~~With~~ this ~~code only when~~ the ~~enemy come back~~ to ~~the original size it will~~ be ~~show its weapon shoots reason~~, ~~and no longer fall and die at~~ the ~~small size (as if it can respawn it would ressurect as~~ the ~~small enemy attacking bug)~~.		In addition to fixing the shrunk enemy bug, this will also fix numerous issue with the Assault Captain's teleporting code. That is one of the reasons that the authors of this tutorial selected the Assault Trooper\Captain to be our example.
