Here is a short example video of what I'm talking about. The "Sniper Joe" NPC just barely goes off screen when jumping off the ledge and disappears. Just drawing an offset or hitbox adjustment would not solve this problem. I would need to save Joe's current HP and everything else and then respawn another clone NPC in it's place to remedy this situation. If the NPC would just not get erased until a half screen or full screen away it would remedy this problem.

Here is another example video of putting the NPC back onto the screen after it gets erased.
guys.cpp is messed up... Through a series of debugging I learned that when the enemy despawns from going off screen it's X coordinates are set to -3XXX something.. lol
I did, however, accomplish the effect I was going for. Thanks for your input anyway.
