Erasing an event

[Opt7ons]

Hi,

Well I need a little help with my project, mainly to do with erasing an event.

Here's my project, just use the mouse to shoot at the enemies and keep shooting at where they die and you'll see what the problem is.

Did you use the Erase Event button in the event page.

Wow, thats really wierd, it starts off okay, but then as soon as you shoot where they are, the bullets come from that location, and then after a while you cant shoot anymore, and all the enemies erase one by one, thats freaky.

Ok, whats happening is that erasing an event doesn't get rid of the sprite or old sprite coordinates. This means when you shoot in a spot where they died the bullet will dissappear as if you shot something. So if you shoot an enemy while they are dead centre of the screen the bullets wont fire anymore (well they will, but they dissapear imediatly).

The reason for the bullets coming only from the middle is because they are relative to the screen , not the hero position. Also, theres a limited amount of bullets because it checks for more then 30 copies of the projectile class. I know of these issues and they are easliy fixable,

I just need someone "who knows how to script", "who knows how to script", "who knows how to script", "who knows how to script" who can show me a simple solution to my erasing event problem.

I also have another problem, because its checking all of the events for collision theres major lag with lots of events, how would I go about making it so that only events in range of the hero will be checked for collision?


Any help is appreciated.
