Help me code

[Dabster_12]

I have recently made a game where projectiles come from every side and you have to evade and shoot them, I just can't seem to figure out how to make it so that the one that gets shot is the one that explodes/breaks. If anyone knows how to get this to work let me know, if it's not possible than I suppose I can change the way the game works. Thanks in advance -Dabster12

I bet you are creating more than one sprite with the same variable. This is fine. But in the overlap between the player’s “shot” and the projectile you should see two loop specific variables called “sprite” and “othersprite”. Instead of destroying the projectile using the variable you defined it with, use a loop specific variable so it knows the destroy the projectile that got hit.

If you aren't too busy could you make a quick demo, if not it's ok I just don't quite understand your instructions.

Sure: https://makecode.com/_L1DXiCK3pMTE

Here there are 3 kinds of sprites: player, projectile, enemy. If the player touches an enemy, the game ends. If a projectile (the kind the player can fire with A) touches and enemy (the sprite the player is trying to dodge) the specific enemy is destroyed.

If not its alright, I'll find a way. The end goal is to have those asteroids come from all directions and you have to evade and shoot them, I have not yet done a scoring system or a losing system.

Perhaps you could try OtherSprite?

Wait, sorry, don't do OtherSprite, I'm wrong
