richochet

I am making a top down shooter and when a bullet hits a wall I want to make it ricochet once and then be destroyed. How do I make that happen?

Well, my first question is how far do you want it to go after it ricochets?

two ways I can think of

method 1 - give your bullet an instance variable set to 0. on collision with a wall add 1 to this instance variable. then when the instance variable gets to your limit (in this case 2) destroy it.this method destroys the bullet on second hit (in this case)

method 2 - give your bullet a fade behaviour set to a low fade out of something like 0.25 and not active at start. on collision with wall start fade...you could also add a particles effect for the bullet strike

use bounce bullets and than destroy it with instance variables if you don't know about instance variables than check this tutorial
