Spawning different weapons

butterbean

I"m working on a shooter now, and was wondering, what's the easiest way, when a player runs into a different weapon upgrade, to spawn a different bullet?

If the player is set up to originally spawn "Bullet 1" and they run into say "machine gun" how do you change what the player spawns?

Just use a global integer named weapon, then when a player runs into whichever power up, you set weapon equal to that integer.

Then in the player actor when he is shooting say:
If weapon = 0
Shoot normal

If weapon = 1
Machine Gun

If weapon = 2
Rockets

etc.
