After some testing, I think the problem runs deeper. It's only when P2 changes states whenever their movehits (like a throw), but only when the pausehittime is 0 in their hitdef. Anyway, this code I am using (which is modified from Manson Ree's own modification).

Also, for the record, I've done experiments with removing "enemy,movehit" and it actually detects the hitdefattr even for hitdefs with 0 hitpausetime just fine... so, I suspect it's a p2 changestate problem occurring too quickly.
