How do I destroy only one copy of the object

hi everyone ...

i copied an object to 5 copies ... the object is a bullet

so i have 5 bullets at the bottom of the layout

so i want to destroy one bullet every time i shoot

any help please ?

thanks

I can only assume you are doing this as a way to limit the number of bullets that can be shot?

Or do you have 5 bullet "icons" at bottom you are wanting to count down as player shoots?

If its the first one then use a variable Shots=5 and subtract 1 from it each time the player shoots and conditions out Shots=>0.

If its the second option then use a system picking event starting at the far left (X=0) and pick "furthers instance from X,0" then destroy and repeat each shot.

I would also suggest reading the Manual under "How Events work" and focus on the "Picking" of instances area... makes picking specific instances/copies much more understandable.

i did this but it is gonna destroy one bullet only ... how to destroy the next bullet on the next shoot ?

you said (pick "furthers instance from X,0") i do not know how to do it

thank you

i added a sub event to the (mouse - on left button clicked ) event

the sub event is (pick overlapping point)

if i started picking from x=0 as you said .... how to pick "furthers instance from X,0"

i do know how to do it

Add the condition

bullet - pick nearest/furthest

so it's a condition of the sprite, not a system condition.

thank you very much .. it works

I appreciate that

or if you want to destroy the one you created first / last and then go on with the previous, use

your trigger

for each bullet sort by bullet.iid ascending (or descending): destroy bullet; stop loop

thank you .. I appreciate that
