UID Help

Hey its me again :x

I got the following problem:

I have 1 Object "Bat", the Bat is Created Random every 1 - 5 seconds and moves left toward my player,

My player shoots the bats with shuriken and destroys them.

What i want to do: When you shoot a bat, theres a random chance this bat Drops an item, but how do i do that? Thought about using UID's but then i would have to know which bat got hit..

Tried the following: "Shuriken on Collision with Bat"-> "Bat Spawn another Object Item on Bat.X Bat.Y" "Bat.Destroy, Shuriken.Destroy" but that doesnt work :/ it creates the Item somewhere in the screen, but not at the position of the bat..

p.s.: its important that the bat drops the item and not the shuriken, because i got particle weapons as well, which would look strange

edit: tried with pick nearest bat from shuriken, but same problem like above: creating item somewhere on the layout

I think the image point, that is the origin of the bat is too far away from the bat drawing itself, thus the "it spawns somewhere else" problem.

Why do you use Bat.X and Bat.Y on the "spawn another object" action?

If I understand this is what you wanna do?

2 objects collision then spawn another in the same position?

mega.co.nz

Shuriken> On collision with bat

Destroy bat

Destroy Shuriken

Bat > On destroyed

Spawn another object

This way, when the shuriken hits, it destroys both, and then whenever a bat is destroyed it spawns an object.

Thanks for all of your replies:

fassflash: on start of layout i destroy the bat, thus the problem is solved , and anyway the bat was outside the layout positioned so i would not be able to see where that item spawns.

Bat.X and Bat.Y because the shuriken which collides with the bat gives the bat a .this function (in java) and spawns on destroyed bat an item.. didnt work, but hey,

I FIXED IT ..

so:

1. Every Second set Randomdrop to random(2)

2.Shuriken -> on collision with bat AND randomdrop = 1 -->> spawn item at bat.imagepointx and bat.imagepointy

3. Shuriken on collision with bat , -> bat destroy, shuriken destroy,
