Hi Abigayl, I want to start off saying I love your tutorials, they're very helpful.
I have a problem with the way you've coded the HP attribute. I have followed your coding exactly, but bullets subtract 1 or 2 health from enemy targets, and very rarely even 3 HP per bullet. ( and I noticed this problem in your demo as well, its just masked by the large number of bullets, and thus hard to notice if one bullet is doing 1 or 2 damage to a 3 HP target.)
Is there any way to code the HP so that this does not occur? any insight into why this is happening at all?
Recap: I set enemy HP to 10. I code so that if HP > 1 to decrement HP by 1. else kill.
I print the HP value rather than a picture bar. about 40% of the time, One bullet takes enemy from 10 HP to 8 HP. Rest of the time, HP from 10 to 9. Halp.
Aye, you are correct and yes the sheer number makes it so I missed that error. The simplest way to correct it is to add an extra code in the "EnemyMotion" behavior. Just before the "if HP > 1", drag in a kill code (from Actor -> Properties) and change it to say "kill last collided actor". That should work.

I would like to know how to make an upgrade system like that you can buy auto shooter.
The next tutorial goes over how to make a powerup, which you should be able to manipulate to change shooting or other things (I suggest using a game attribute for something permanent like that). If you want me to show you how to change it after the tutorial comes out on Saturday, let me know and I can stream it for you (livestream.com/poweredbyflowers).

I would like to see and learn how to make a realistic gun. How to add recoil, gravity to bullets, knockback and other stuff.
Will keep that in mind for future tutorials, but it's a lot more complicated than this, so might be much later to see if I can even simplify it to a tutorial.
