  in your example delete

  bullet - set bullet angle of motion to ...etc

  and replace with

  bullet - set angle towards (target.x,target.y)

  (at the moment all you are doing is setting the bullet angle to 2,3,4 or 5 degrees (ie the uid of the chosen target))

  you could also just alter the size of the lines collision polygon

  or

  you could store the positions of where you have touched on the vertical line (in an array ?) and when the player is over/close to these positions then alter the players angle...

  try something like:

  vertical sprite ; spawn small sprite (this will create a new copy of the small spite at the location of the vertical sprite)

  small sprite ; set y to self.y+100

  look at modulo (see https://www.scirra.com/manual/78/expressions)

  add to score

  ..if score % 50 = 0 then create new object
