Technically you should have at least 0x24 (36) bytes allocated to EnemyInfo.

Have `dealloc(EnemyInfo)` / `unregistersymbol(EnemyInfo)` in the disable section and it'll be fine.

Why are all those values spaced out like that?

Curiosity, through trial and error. When I tried to use 1 2 3 4, none of it worked, so I looked through the Dissect Data/Structures, and noticed it followed a pattern. I was thinking it went from 4 8 16 32 but I was wrong, it is spaced in groups of 4. It'd be 4 8 C 10 14.

if you have more than 1 alloc in the script it matters

I have absolutely no idea what you're trying to do, but you're doing it wrong.

`alloc` allocates memory in the target process.

`registersymbol` lets that symbol be used outside the script.

`EnemyInfo+4:` etc. specifies an address. EnemyInfo is the starting address where memory was allocated, and +4 means 4 bytes after that.

`dd (float)0`: dd writes 4 bytes of data to an address, and (float)0 is the data to write.
In this case, these lines do nothing practical since memory gets zero-initialized on allocation. It's still good to include for documentation purposes.

The alloc should have 36 bytes because the last `dd` writes 4 bytes to the address EnemyInfo+20. 0x20 + 4 = 0x24 = 36

The first 4 bytes of the alloc appear to be unused, but that's weird, not wrong.
