Hi

So i have this shooter and my spaceship is the main actor shooting basic bullet.
I've managed to create a power up but i want my actor to change weapon when it collides with the power up.

How do i do that?

I've tried a lot of combinations of attributes but seams i can't find the logic.
I even bought a $10 template to study the power up section but his code is wayyyyy to complicated and messy.

I need a clear explanation. I've searched the web and their isn't a "power up shoot em up" tutorial yet.

Anybody?

Thanks
Dom

    @AlphaCentori‌
    How do you spawn the basic bullets?

    Make new actor called "better bullets".

    Create a rule inside ship.

    If ship collides with power-up and touch is pressed (whatever spawns the basic bullets), spawn actor "better bullets".

    Oups! I talked too fast. It's because in my game the power up is spawned randomly from a number from 1 to 10. I don't trigger them with the Q and W.
    So i'm wondering how to combine both system. The random system and your system which is quite close to make it happen.

    At Andrea!

    Thanks again for your template. But let's say i want another extra power up. How do i choose from 3 different types of weapons with boolean true or false?

    Thanks

    You need to creare a new boolean attribute
    And add to the shooter rule the condition "power up 2 is false" and create a new shooter rules in the ship . If you want i can upload a new version of the template
