Edit: this issue has since been solved; turns out all I had to do was use SDKHooks' pre-think. Huge thanks to BatFoxKid for telling me about this.


(OLD) Hello again, folks. I've been studying SourcePawn on/off for a few months now, and recently, I decided I would write my first sub-plugin. Things have been going somewhat smoothly, but I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to change the boss' max speed on the fly; despite all of my attempts, the plugin refuses to change the hale's speed. If anybody is willing to help, my source code is below. I've also been having slight problems with detecting when the hale uses rage.

Problem solved! Turns out the secret ingredient was using SDKHooks' pre-think. Once I discovered that, I had things taken care of within 10 minutes.
