Next, find out precisely what 25% of the maximum durability is.

Event.

Durability < (Whatever 25% of your maximum durability is + 1)

Action: Play [Joint-Detach]

Quick Edit: This is THE most precise method to date.

No, the joint-detach is effectively deprecated, you can simply use the "Detach" event to achieve the same effect with less parts, which can be crucial in bosses where you have lots of parts and get close to the limit.

Example: 
Durability < [25] %
Play [Detach] -> (Part to be detached)

And, up22, you don't need to find out what 25% is, you can set it to be detached at <25%. and, like nk said, you don't need to use a detach joint, there's a detach event action.

As an aside, I got the idea to change patterns the same way as this.

Next question: How do you pull off 'multi-form' bosses? The verious methods I tried didn't work very well.

Setting the condition the way I put it ensures that it is precisely 25%, not one under.

I know what I'm doing.

Then make it "< 26%", if it's that big of a deal.

Exactly what Nightkev said. It doesn't need to be that exact, as it's extremely unlikely that you'll ever hit that durability exactly (and one point under, exactly), what with varying bullet power from the different ships, weapon levels, and core-fade effect.

I'm not saying you're wrong or that your method doesn't work, it's just a little superfluous.

And Kidou, there are various ways to make a multi-form boss. In the same way you made a part detach with the events mentioned above, just put in the percent you want the form to change, and instead of using the attack action, use play/stop movement to turn on or off turn joints, move joints, weapons, etc.

Last view: 5248 days 		First, Build your Seperate Core on a Detach Joint, Then set the detach joint to Stop,
Add a event at the core with the condition of Durability(%) to <26 and add Play Movment and select The Detach Joint then Voila! You have what you want...
