Thanks for the help guys. LukeW your capx is just what I was looking for thanks!

I've had a good look around the forums but the dropbox links for this type of question are all too old and don't work. I'm trying to create the laser bouncing effect as seen in the game R-Type. Lots of youtube videos on this great game. If I was using a small sprite the bullet behavior would work fine, but the lasers need to be quite long, this causes the bounce to be inaccurate.

When the fire button is pressed lasers are spawned and travel at different angles, they continue to grow in length as they leave the spawn point and bounce off every object whilst leaving the trail of where it had previously bounced.

Good example in the youtube video below at 2:30

Anyone know hot to create this?

Works like a charm. Thank you very much

Thanks so much for that, it's perfect! The only thing left is to limit the bounce to a maximum height. Any pointers on this please?

I am using platform control for the ball but I have been totally unsuccessful it getting it to bounce more than just once and haven't been able to get a second bounce at a greater height. I've tried a few things but I'm new to C2 so need a little help. What is the best way to get the bounce behavior I am looking for using platform?

I'm struggling with this.... I want to be able to hold down a key and make my on screen player (which is a ball) jump up and then fall back to ground and bounce. If the key is held down, the ball will continue to bounce higher each time after touching the ground. When the key is released the bouncing slows to a stop just like if you dropped a ball on the ground it bounces less and less until it stops. The action I am trying to create is like bouncing a basketball but each time you hit the ball to the ground you do it a little harder so the ball bounces higher each time. Can anyone help please
