0x+108 Details
(where tableOfBowser is a table of the active SMB1 Bowsers returned by `NPC.get(200, -1)`)
 * The timer is mostly random
 * However, repeatedly setting the values based on a range can modify the rate at which hammers are thrown. For example:
 * The internal ai4 equals to this C++ pseudocode
 * Note that in the Lua code, we set the value to 15. In the C++ code, the random spawn rate is based on a modulus of 16. This is due to the fact that when setting the value in Lua, it is automatically incremented to 1 above of what is set.
