spawning different bullets with power ups

bobzApps

HI!

I have a question and would love if someone could help me out.
I have a power up and if he gets this power up the original bullet is changed to a more powerful bullet.

I have an actor for the bullet and the better bullet, how would i go about making this happen?

Thanks for all your help!

You can have a Boolean Rule to set to true when he gets his power up, then have an attribute check to see if its true or not then make the change.

If you are spawning the (simple)bullet from the players actor...then just build in an integer value.
So something like this rule.....
if (integer) "bullettype" = 0 then spawn "simple bullet", and another rule that says if "bullettype" = 1 then spawn "better bullet".

Have the pick up / power up change the attribute value of the game integer when the player picks it up.

This way rather than being limited to just 1 or two values (two different types of bullet) you have have as many as the integer system allows for future expansion.

I have a shoot 'em up template for sale that has this in (dont worry im not trying to sell ti to you - unless you want it) but if you are struggling feel free to email me at damien@arandomday.com and I'll send you a basic template that shows how to do this for free.

You don't have to change actor you could just swap image (and size if needed) and any power attributes you have.
