Basically when I was experimenting with guns in my game. I found a little bug thing that I haven't been able to figure out how to fix.

Never use "Trigger once" with objects that have multiple instances, like enemies in your case. It will always work incorrectly and cause bugs.

I suggest that you check for Health<=0 in a sub-event under the event where you deal damage to the enemy. Instead of "Is overlapping + Trigger once" do this:
Bullet On Collision with Enemy .......Bullet destroy .......Enemy subtract 2 from health .......Enemy Compare variable health<=0 ................... (all the actions to kill the enemy here)

Its working now!

I did have the bullet damage event thing 'On Collision' before but it wasn't working either. So it was probably the enemy death thing causing the problem. I have the bullet event set to 'On Collision' and the enemy death event as a sub-event of that event AND its working!

So, Thanks for helping me out :)
