Then you go into the weapons editor and make a weapon using the weapon powerup name for the linked object text. Understand? You need to login to create posts in this thread.

Then go to the projectile editor to create the actual shots fired, and then finally, enter the weapons editor to create the weapon. *Note: When in items editor, be sure to make the bullet <b>and the</b> weapon itself, and have powerups for both, if you want them to be able to get picked up and have ammo picked up.

I usually make all the items first and then progress down starting with sprites, projectiles, weapons, and then objects. You need to login to create posts in this thread.
