Weapon switching.

I have two guns set up in their own Group, First one is active from start, the second is activated after picking up a new gun. Works great but when i go to fire the second gun, one bullet from Group one also fires a single bullet on first trigger tap. Not sure how to fix this.

Depending on how your events are set up... first thing to check is make sure group one is disabled when you enable group two?

I tried that, bullets from weapon one still fire from weapon two when Group one is Deactivated. Also I would like to add more than two weapons to the game, so I am not sure if Groups are the thing to go with or not. I am using an Array to swap initially swap between weapons once a second gun is picked up by clicking on the d-pad.

Here's a picture of my Event Sheet.

I am having issue uploading the pic of my event sheet, so i just copied the text for now.

+ obj_player_mask: On collision with oNewGun

-> System: Set group "Weapon Two" Activated

-> oNewGun: Destroy

+ Gamepad: On gamepad 0 D-pad down pressed

----+ System: [X] Weap_num ≥ Arr_Weapons.Width - 1

-----> System: Add 1 to Weap_num

----+ System: Else

-----> System: Set Weap_num to 0

[Weapon One]

----+ System: Weap_num = 0

-----> obj_gun: Set animation to "ID_MACHINEGUN" (play from beginning)

--------+ Gamepad: Gamepad 0 Right shoulder trigger is down

--------+ System: Every 0.16 seconds

--------+ obj_gun: Is animation "ID_MACHINEGUN" playing

---------> obj_gun: Spawn obj_bullet on layer "Player" (image point "Bullet")

[Weapon Two]

----+ System: Weap_num = 1

-----> obj_gun: Set animation to "ID_MINIGUN" (play from beginning)

--------+ Gamepad: Gamepad 0 Right shoulder trigger is down

--------+ System: Every 0.12 seconds

--------+ obj_gun: Is animation "ID_MINIGUN" playing

---------> obj_gun: Spawn oAI_Bullet on layer "Player" (image point "Bullet")

Thanks! I'll definitely give that a try this weekend.

I used Variables to control which weapon is active. 0-5, each weapon pick up is determined by its corresponding variable, works great.
