Whirlwind Shield Monitor

Thing Type 405, Whirlwind Shield Monitor, is a monitor that gives the player the Whirlwind Shield upon its destruction. When a player with this shield presses Spin in mid-jump, they will do a second jump, boosting their maximum jump height to 224. It will bring the player out of a spin, however, leaving them vulnerable to enemy damage. Note that pressing either the jump or spin button after running directly off of a ledge will result in the shield being triggered. Furthermore, pressing the jump button when a character with the fly ability is in their tired flying states will also cause the shield to be triggered.

Checking the Ambush flag turns this monitor into a Weak Random Monitor, out of which it may randomly respawn with a probability of 18.75%. Checking the Object Special flag turns it into a Strong Random Monitor, out of which it may randomly respawn with a probability of 18.75%.
