Bullet range during runtime

Is there a way to set bullet range during runtime? for example: player starts with bullet range of 150 pixels. Player grabs a powerup that increases the range to 300 pixels. I cant find it, is there a way?

Probably with some math. If you want to avoid that though, maybe make an invisible ring around the player? Then just resize it if they get a power up.

yeah that would be a good alternative but through the bullet behavior I dont think theres a way

You could make two different bullets.

make your own range variable that can be controlled:

always add 1 to private value of bullet 'bulletvalue'

if 'bulletvalue' = 'customrangevalue', do action

set 'customrangevalue' with the powerup. larger that value is, the longer it will last -- similar to range.

here's an example .cap:

heh thanks for the help, cant believe I asked about something so trivial as this, staying up late does that to you
