Emitter
Hey again, im looking for a bit of advice on how to create an emitter. i am trying to make a gun that can have more than one bullet in view at the same time coming from the gun. so rather than firing and having to wait until the bullet disapears before firing again, i would like to have a script that creates a bullet, then destroyes it's self when it hits the target..... does this make sense to you??
please help

Re: Emitter
Make multiple bullets. Have a variable in each that has an ID. Have a list called current IDs. When you fire, add an ID to the list. When it hits a target, remove the ID.

Re: Emitter
You can't create sprites with scripts. Cloning is something that (I believe) will be in Scratch 2.0, but, until then, bobbybee is right, one of the only ways to have multiple bullets is to have multiple sprites (the other way is to stamp all the bullets with one sprite, but this is probably more trouble than it is worth)
