ok i haven't used game editor in a while so ill try to think up something.
actor "Ship"> Collision event actor "Powerup"

Code: Select all

PUp = 1;      //add a variable named PUp

actor "Ship" > Keybutton down event "Whatever"

Code: Select all

if(PUp == 0)
{
      CreateActor("Shot", "NoPowerUp", 0, 0);
}
else
{
      CreateActor("Shot", "PowerUp", 0, 0);
}

that code wont work because the "CreateActor" thing isn't right you have to replace it with the code in GE.

I hope that works!

P.S. I'm back!

make a "power" variable, global or actor whatever...

in the "create actor" of your actor put this code :
power=0;

in "collision event" with PowerUpper actor(for example "gold") put this code :
power++;

then in your keydown event of your actor, put this code :
if(power==0)
{
Create Actor("Shot", "ShotImage", ("none"), ("none"), 0, 0);
}
if(power==1)
{
Create Actor("Shot", "ShotImage", ("none"), ("none"), 0, 0);
Create Actor("Shot", "ShotImage", ("none"), ("none"), 0, 5);
}

The second "if" code will create double shot...
I hope that code will help you...
note : don't copy-paste that code

thank you guys.
How come i cant copy n paste

[Caaz Games]

this is the actual code for create actor
CreateActor("Actor", "Animation", "(none)", "(none)", 0, 0, false);
the ones we used dont have all the stuff

wait how do i make a power variable? wat do i write in global code for variable? im a begginer

[Bee-Ant]

Go to script editor from any actor...

then clik "User Vars" at the bottom side...

click "Add" then make that variable...

Global variable be in effect for every actor, Actor variable just for that actor...

If you will make "power" variable, make it as "string"

If you still confused, I'll make a demo for you...

[98700]

make demo plz
